CHEYENNE SADDLES.
The Delight of the Cowboy and United
States Cavalry.

The Delight of the Cowboy and United
States Cavalry.
All over North America for many
years Cheyenne saddles have been IA
nous, and every equestrian outside the
United States cavalry and of the North
west mounted police of Canada has Ell
Their had his horse tricked out with
Cheyenne leather or wished he had. The
fancy work on saddles, holsters and
stirrup hoods that once made Mexican
saddlery famous and expensive long ago
was copied by the Cheyenne makers,
American horse trappings, but made
them so cheap as to be within the means
of most hOrSemen. In the old days,
when Western cattle ranged all over
the plains and the cowboy was in his
glory, that queer citizen would rather
have Cheyenne saddle than a best
girl. In fact, to be without Cheyenne
saddle and first-class revolver was to
be no better than the sheep herder of
that era.
When the writer was in Cheyenne re-
Gently the first places he looked for
were the saddlemakers' shops. He was
surprised to find only one snowy, first
class store of that kind, and, instead of
there being a crowd in front of it, there
was no sign of more business than was
going on at the druggists near by, or
the stationer's over the way. The goods
displayed in the windows were beau
tiful and extraordinary. There were
the glorious, heavy, hand-strapped sad
dles there were the huge, cumbrous
tapaderos; there were the lariats or
ropes; the magnificent bits that looked
like Moorish art outdone, and there were
mule SINNERS and the fanciful spurs,
and, in short, the windows formed mu-
scum of things that a cowboy would have
paWned his soul to own. The metal
work was ali such as cavalryman once
declared it, ''the most elegant horse jew
elry in creation
Englishmen and Germans now buy the
fanciest and best trappings to send
abroad to their homes. Handicapped
saddles cost from $13 to $50, but $50
buys as good a one as modest man
use. Cowgirl saddles were on view
seven of them-with rigging for side
seats and with stirrups made in slipper
shapes It is not that there are really
half dozen cowgirls in the world or
half a dozen women like the Colorado
cattle queen or the lady horse breeder
of Wyoming, but there are Western girls
who have to ride Il great deal, and they
had fond fathers and brothers, and still
fonder lovers; hence the manufacture Of
magnificent sidesaddles, all decked with
ahand-strapped patterns, and looking as
rich as the richest Bedouin ever dreamed
horsegear being made. There is still
a good trade in cowboy outfits that are
ordered from Montana, the Dakotas,
Wyoming, Colorado and Texas, and SINH
lar goods go to the horse ranches of Ne
vada. Idaho and Oregon. Moreover,
as long as men ride horses there will be
a trade in fancy outfits for them.-Den-

The farmers living near Tolt, Wash,
together with their sons and farmhands,
turned out recently in a hunt for big
cougar, which for year past has been
killing calves and colts, soaring women
and children, and making things gen
orally miserable and at the same time
very interesting for every individual who
lives within ten miles of Tolt. After
an hours work the animal was freed by
the dogs. Three shots were required to
kill him. The cougar measured eight

None of the Miners Suffering, and It's a

During all the years l have lived in

the San Francisco Call, II have never
had a miner ask me for anything to eat.
1t is wrong to suppose that they have
suffered. With two exceptions, do not
think l ever saw man return to Juneau
from beyond the divide with less than
$50. And | have seen miners come in
with dust worth from that amount all
the way up to. $4,000 or $4,000 The
two men that came out broke were u
couple of fellows I staked. They had
bad luck. Their WaterWheels were car
ried away in a freshet and they lost
what they had. The fact that the min
ers always go back again speaks we'll
for the Yukon region. All of them do
better than they could in the same time
anywhere else. A man come into Juneau
the other day with seyenty-six pounds
of gold dust. the result of two seasons in
the Yukon region. Mail carriers get 81
apiece for carrying letters between Jul
neau and the Yukon mines. They usual
ly make up package of about 800 let
tiers for a trip. The miners that will
stay in that region can work up till the
middle of October, but those who are
coming out will have to quit work a
month earlier in order to cross the di-
vide before the heavy SHOWS. Juneau is
just as good country as | want to live
in. | like it as well as any place | have
ever seen. 1t rains a good DEAL The

Resting the Heart.

Nature takes the time when one is ~
ing down to give the heart rest, and
that organ consequently makes ten
strokes less a minute than when one is
in an upright position. Multiply that
by sixty minutes and it is 600 strokes.
Therefore, in eight hours spent in lying
down the heart is saved nearly 5000
strokes, and as the heart pumps 6 ounces
of blood with each stroke it lifts 10000
ounces less of blood in night OF eight
hours spent in bed than when one is III
an upright position. AS the blood flows
so much more slowly through the veins
when one is lying down, one must supply
then with extra coverings the warmth
usually furnished by circulation.

Are the Lawrence
County Rail Road
Bonds Valid?

AT the April term of the County
Court 1879, G. II. Nixon and 9TH
ers forming the first bord of direc-
tors of the Nashville & Florence
Railroad Company filed their petit
tion in the County Court of said
Lawrence County asking that a
proposition be submitted to the
voters of said county lnder the di-
rections of law as contained in The
code Gold code) from Section ll42
10 114S. By a unanimous vote of
the court the proposition was sub
mitted and an election held ON the
18th day of May 1879. The law
under which said election was held
is what was known as the General
Improvement act, passed by the
the Legislature in 1852, under the
constitution of 1885. The state
adopted a new constitution in 1870.
Thereby repeating and making
null and void the constitution of
1885 the new Constitution of 1870

Of the county can be given by an
act of the Legislature of the State
authorizing snd impowing the
counties OF the State by a three
1ourths vote to make subscription
or issue of bends &C. Eid the Leg
islature pass such an enabling act,
if go, when? In 1887 general en-
abling act was passed by the Leg
ilature which became law, but
this was passed 5 years after Law
renee County voted her subscrip

consequently would be All ex.post

Was there any spccial;law passedby
the Legislature of the State i'm
powing said county to issue Rail
roads bonds, prior to said election
May 18th 1875? The writer has
diligently searched the acts of the
Legislature but failed to find any
for the reason no such law was
passed.
Under the law under which the
election Of said county was held
IA subscription to the r. R. was
authorized, but the issuance of
bonds were not provided for and
now could any be legally issued un-
der said law it was the duty of the
r. r. to prepare suitable book

used by the tax collectors so that
when tax payer paid his tax a

for our taxes we could very well
afford to pay the bonds and the
interest thereon. If said II. R. docs
not do this, l think it better pol
icy of the tax payers toget rid OF
this lniquetous burden-our taxes
are too heavy; Davidson county

cents on the dollar and we are
deeply in debt and sinking deeper
every year. Shall we continue to
keep up taxes upon the citizens OF
this county or shall we act the
part of true patriots and get rid of
this unjust and illegal Railroad
debt?
A few tax payers a little over a
year ago fled q bill in the Chan
cery court of Lawrence county for
the purpose of mildly teaching the
County court to assess the taxes as
directed in section 1889 (M. & VI

ers and the county appealed ~
the Supreme court, at the trial OF
said cause by the special court OF
Chancory, appeals, the court de-
clded that said section 1889 did
not apply to the assessment of
such taxes. Under that law, bonds
were authorized, that section ap.
piled alone to Railroad subscription
and thercupon dismissed the bill.
Compliments appealed to the
supreme court where the decision
of the court of appeals was sus-
tained. Now in said bill the validi-
ty of said bonds were not brought
into question, the only question
was the assessment of the taxes on
an equal proportion on property,
privilege and persons as directed
in said section 1889. The "court
of appeals gave quito a lengthy
opinion in which they virtuely de-
cided the illegality of said bonds.
Ascending to be the decision of
said court the county has illegally
assessed and collected more than
$4,000 for Railroad purposes.
Quite number of the tax pay
ers of Lawrence are contemplating
filing a bill in the Chanccry court
to test the validity Of the R. R.
bonds, and a meeting of the citi-
zens of the county has been called
to meet in the court house ON The
first Monday in Feb, and all tax
payers who are willing to join in
such bill will attend the meeting
