in equpping and stocking the farm. which
Is, as yet, comparatively in its infancy.
The profits from this large investment,
OF course. have yet to be realized. aud the
state of the horse market for the last two
years has not been very encoura ging in
this respect. The prospects now, however,
are Frightening, and IL 10 quite probable
that there will be goodly number OF
horses shipped from the farm this sum-
mer, after Mr.. Larabie omes up from his
home at Fairhaven. Wash. m
OF horned cattle there are not many
on this place; but what few there are
come of the purest strains of shorthorn
blood known in the country. A shorthorn
bull, Cavalier" Is said to be the largest
animal of his kind west of the Mississippi
river, IL not, indeed, In the United States.
Your correspondents did not learn his
weight, but he is of elephantine size and
as handsome in proportion as he is
massive.
Other famous horse farms in the Ruby
valley are those of DIR. A. A. Amsden Of
Butte, which is also noted for thorough
breds OF high degree; State Senator Met
eel of the York, or Circle A ranch; Hon.
John Donegan, whose Defiance stock is
among the most noted in the valley; ex-
Commissioners Sam b. Page, who has cap
tured several premiums at the county
fair for general purposes horses. As most
of the owners of these were away from
home during the trip, a general descrip-
ton of their herds and farms was not OBJ
tainable, and must be deferred till q later
letter. lttf
1t may be added here that the feeling
among horse breeders in the valley is very
cheerful this spring. Dr. Amsdcn AMI
Mr.. Raymond have had excellent success
with their recent shiy ments and report a
fine market for good horses almost every
where in the East. DIR. Amsden returned
last week. / am informed that he is
highly elated with the outlook. II is good
tidIngs to the people of this valley, many
of whom were getting discouraged and
ready to abandon their efforts in the d.
rection of breeding a high class of horses
for market.
A farm OF equal note with those of the
Ruby valley is that of Farrell & Varney,
OF the Madison valley. Though they have
some fashionable stock here, their
business is principally in raising roadsters
and general purposes horses. In addition
thereto they raise q class of hores
especially suitable for military purposes,
and for 20 years or more they have sup
piled the Northwestern mounted police of
Canada and the various u. S. cavalry
regiments of the frontier with large num-
bers of their animals annually. 1 shall
visit the farm shortly and will write more
fully of il hereafter.

killed John c. Swearingen. About three
months ago Jones had Swearingen indict-
ed for obstructing a public road that led

that soon after the obstruction OF the road
the rails used in forming the obstruction
was burned. and Swearingen claimed that
Jones son did the burning. while Jones
alleged that Swearingen was the guilty
party. This among other causes brought
on bad blood between the parties.
A few days ago Swearingen caused the
arrest Of a negro and lodged him in jail.
claiming that he could substantiate the
charges against young Jones by the
negros testimony. Jones bailed the negro
out. This morning Swearingen came 10
town 10 see about the natter and, as the
testimony Of the coroner's investigation
discloses. on entering the store was asked
by young Jones II he (Swearingen) had
said he burnt the rails. and n he did il was
false. Other words passed between young
Jones and the deceased, during which time
B. !. Jones came in and told Swearingen
II he desired TO talk to any one to talk to

pistols and commenced firing. The wit

The ball that killed Swearngen entered

The verdict of the jury was in accord
