Perhaps it is but an excuse for the

it may be because the style is 50

STEERS AND A BICYCLE.
Ranch Cattle Give a Wyoming
Doctor a Lively Race.
Herd Is stampeded by the Rider and His
Two-wheeled Horse and a Broken
Shoulder Blade and Smashed
Bike End the Story.

Men who are posted in the ways O.
western range cattle, and especially
those of the Texas breed, know it Il
extremely hazardous to approach then
On foot or in any unusual manner
Mounted cowboys ride through and
around the herds without trouble, be,
cause the animals are accustomed to
seeing men on horseback, but the ap
pearance within close range of any
strange object arouses their curiosity
and ire. Pedestrians are rarity on the
cattle ranches; likewise bicyclists.
DIR. A. B. Hamilton, of Laramie,
Wyo., should have known better than
to try to cross the range near a big
bunch of steers on his bicycle, says the
Chicago Tribune, but it seems he didn't,
and now the doctor is laid up with
broken shoulderblade, his hair Is
blanched by fright, and his new 500
wheel is ruined beyond repair. The
doctor had occasion to visit a patient
on the Little Laramie river, and was
within four miles of Laramie town Oh
his way home when he ran onto herd
of Texans. 1t was probably the first
wheelman the cattle had ever seen, for
they paved the ground and snorted
viciously for moment, and then made
q concerted charge for the doctor, who,
realizing his danger, pedaled away az
the top of his speed in an effort to es-
cape.
There are few living things, except a
race horse of high class, that can out
run Texas range steer when once in
full motion. DR.. Hamilton made a
brave race, but the cattle gained on him
ut every jump, and he could feel the
hot breath of the leaders almost at
his side before had covered half milo.
Just as he thought one particularly
vicious-loolSing beast was about to pick
him off with its horns the wheel struck
q hummock, and the doctor took @
header which landed him safe in buff
ialo wallow, where he lay quiet while
the cattle jumped over him. The steers
were under such Roadway they couldn't
stop, and, besides, it isn't the nature of
western steers to stop when they have
once started on stampede until they
drop from exhaustion.
The bicycle did not escape. 1t lay
directly in the path of the maddened
animals and was crushed into a worth
less wreck.

OUTWlTS HIS RIVALS.
Grocer Sells Them Salt for Sugar ane
Ends . Lively War of Prices.

Grocer Sells Them Salt for Sugar and
Ends Lively War of Prices.
A sugar war between rival grocery
firms in the village of White, S. D., has
terminated in a curious manner, says
the Chicago Record. The war was oc-
casioned by one of the merchants offer
ing 20 pounds of sugar for one dollar.
A couple of rival business men entered
into q scheme to punish the merchant
for offering sugar so cheaply and sent
confederates to him to secretly buy
sugar for them at the reduced price.
After removing a couple Of pounds out
of each one dollar package they sold the
remainder to their customers, thus beat
ing their rival out of two pounds Of
sugar on each investment of one dollar.
The victim learned Of the scheme, and
in retaliation filed some packages about
half full OF salt, put sugar on top Of 1t
and disposed of the packages to the
parties whom he knew were buying the
sugar for his rivals. These packages
wero then sold by the rival merchants
to their customers, after deducting the
customary two pounds. After the man
who made speciality Of sugar had sold
his rivals about a dozen barrels of salt
at five cents a pound some of the Gus
toners of the dupes entered protests
against paying sugar prices for salt,
and the trick was exposed and the war
brought to sudden end.

Denman Thompson's familiar play will
be seen at the opera house "Wednesday,
April /. The Old Homesteadn is clean
and wholesome throughout, it appeals
directly to the heart, and its simple story
and humor and pathos are exquisitey
blended. Tears and laughter follow each
other in quick succession, the action never
drags, nor does the interest even wane,
and visit to it is always refreshing. A
number of special features have been intro
duced without interfering with the original
story, among them is an electrical storm in
which is seen forked lightning, and real
istic downpour of rain. The storm con-
cludes the scene on the farm. The individ-
ual members Of the company remain about
the same as on its last visit, and was then
credited with being the most efficient cast
that had presented the play. The famous
double quartet in the selection of old
fashioned melodies, are always interesting,
and still remain prominent feature.
