Did you ever see man on a CHINA

man To IA writer for the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. IF you should witness a
case you would never want to see an
other. A few months ago i had three
young men getting out pipe slaves
down in the Tennessee mountains, and
they concluded TO have little toot on
pay day. They went TO a nearby town,
but failed to get the needed article. In
fact. they could get nothing whatever

In very bad fix. They were noisy and
violent and reeled and staggered about
helplessly. One of the boys, a quiet,
modest fellow. who was never known

MANY CATTLE MISSING.
Thousands of Head OF Bovin~s stolen In
Wyoming.

Wyoming.
LANDER, Aug. Ia This section Is
stirred up over the discovery of the rob.
berry of thousands of heal OF cattle, and
in some cases whole herds. Wholesale
arrests are expected In "A few days The
robbery is the most gigantic ever carried
on in the west. and many small owners
will be entirely wiped out by it. The
cattlemen started for the roundup with
considerable enshusiasm, as the stock
went through the winter with little or no
loss and the prices were fairly remunera-
tive, but much to their astonishmeEt two
thirds OF the cattle could not be found .
Men with from 100 to 500 head we're only
able to gather from fifty to 100, and when
the work OF gathering was completed con-
sternation seized the owners.
They saw that they were the victims Of
a wholesale robbery, and a little investi-
CATION proved that their stock had been
driven into Montana. and further investi-
CATION showed that they had been sold TO
stockmen through that country. The
method employed was the alteration OF
brands, and this was done SO skillfully
that it was difficult and in many cases
impossible to tell whst the original brand
had been. The stealing had not been con-
fined TO a few men, aud nearly all cattle
owners have suffered alike

LIGHrNING'S WORK.
Four Horses Killed at the Fair
Grounds Yesterday Afternoon.

A terrible thunder, lightning and
rain storm, which resulted in the
death of four horses on the fair
grounds Thursday afternoon, passed
over that section soon after one o.
clock. 1t came up very suddenly,
and almost before the vast ,hrong of
people assembled on the grounds
were aware Of its ar preach it was up
on them. The grand stand was near
ly filed with people ready to listen
TO the speech of CEas. Emory Smith
and the storm coming from the west
beat into their faces and there was
such rush for the upper seats that
it was almost a miracle that no one
was Injured. A COOL many people
were sitting in wagons about the
grounds, and soon after the storm
broke there was vivid flash of light
ming, and terrible crash, AMI at least
a half dozen horses at the lower
end of the grounds fell to the ground.
Three of these do Tn near the new
buildings never moved again, being
instantly killed, and another stands
ing near tree up near the watering
trough below the grand stand was
also killed, the others heing only

TO Frank Bowan, OF South Towanda

Election comes on apace. The
law says that voters who have not
paid State or county tax within
two years must do so within thirty
DAYS OF election. The election this
year falls on Nov. 5th. and it will
therefore lie seen that delinquent
tax payers must settle with the COLI
lector within the next two days or
be debarred from voting. This IL
an important matter, and shoull be
kept in mind by voters.
