by the Conductor were sent to Staiioa
agents and eating houses. In my 10
years wandering over the face of the
earth Il never came across such I'M
Snorfsmanlike action. The party con-
Hited of two well-known shooters
rom Wisconsin and Illinois, two re-
'porters, who ought to practice what
they preach, and a jeweler of San An
tonic. 1 believe such things should
be looked after and any such rank
outrage by so-called sportsmen thor
oughly shown up. A party of eight
followed for two days, increased to
eleven for one day, and killed 1,400
ducks at the same place"
The Ledger reported that one Haz-
elton from Kansas made a great rec
ord at quail shooting, ''the greatest
ever heard of in the southwest. He
shot over a Gordon setter, and from
sunrise to sunset killed over 151
birds" Comenting on this one of our
correspondents writes:
"As a sportsman l read with horror.
1t is surprising to me that the great
hunk of a game hog was not turned
upon by his dog and torn to pieces
for his heartlessness. What a good
thing it would be if a gun would en-
plode on the 31st bird after q shooter
had knocked down his 80 birds in one
day. Even that is a hog-bite."
Our correspondent, J. G. Wingo, re-
fering to the same instance, says:
THE reporter seemed to think that
this Hazelton was a champion sports.
man. On the contrary, he is only a
champion butcher-a contemplate ex.
terminator-an unprincipled annihila.
tor-a veritable game hog-and the
people of Grayson county ought to
give him just "a hours in which TO re-
turn. Such ruthless determination OF
our quails must be stopped. A good
pointed warning first, and If that Is
Intellectual then some tar and feathers
and a rail, or a streak of barb wire
This is the sentiment of 5000 Texas
sportsmen. The butcher would have
to prove that he did not shoot them OF
the ground by 40 witnesses before liz
would be believed otherwise"
The above is a fair expression of the
opinion of sportsmen generally, and
we are greatly pleased to learn that
definite and determined steps are
about to be taken to assert the rights
of the state in the game. Mr.. r. r
Lockett, assistant Encouragement OF
the state, has taken the initiative il
this matter, and has enlisted the ac
tive support of many of the leading
citizens. Mr.. S. r. Howe, of For
Worth, writes us as follows:

of Texas sportsmen TO the necessity
of law to prevent the slaughter Of

they will be opened to traffic no later
than November 10Th, it occurs to us that
there is no provision for operating the

There is undoubtedly gold where Mr..
Cradlebaugh and party are mining in
the Mt. Adams country, for he has vial
of it which he is exhibiting to his
friends. It is coarse gold and there are
one or two nuggets among it as large as
a pea. There is about $25 worth of the
yellow metal in the bottle and about $40
worth of platinum, much rarer and
more valuable metal than gold. Plati-
mum is worth about $54 an ounce, while
gold is about $I8 so. Platinum is used
by electricians. It is very ductiie. A
wire can be made of it so fine as to be
invisible. Mr.. Cradlebaugh believes If
he can find the place where the gold is
washed from he will uncover half a mil
lion dollars.

come to him out of it. One could tell
the way he fondled it that $40 golden

The September Meeting shows Little
Urgent Business to Consider.

-|f +.
There were present at the regular
council meeting last night Councilmen
Wood, Saltmarshe. Clough, Champlin,
Kuck and Nolan and Mayor Menefee.
An application wac received to pur-
chase the north half of lots and 6,
block Is, Gates add. by Rev. L. Grey
and 1. G. Nickelsen, trustees of the
the object in view of erecting a church
thereon. Referred 20 committee on
streets and public property.
A proposition was received from Chas.
Denton to furnish 16 cords of oak wood
at 81 per cord. This was referred to the
fire and water committee.
The reports of the recorder, marshal
and treasurer were received and placed
on file. They created discussions as to
the matter of licenses and impounding
stock. The only motion carried was that
the recorders report show detailed
statement of licenses collected the sec
ond regular meeting of each quarter.

| Councilman Nolan opened up an en-
tErely-new subject by stating that the
marshal should work up the collections
/ Of road taxes. This work has been al
most altogether sighted heretofore, only
4 nominal sum having been collected in
previous years.
The councilnen next exchanged ideas
lconcerning impounding stock. Clough
and Wood were of the opinion that the
officers had occasionally been over
vigilant, and that it was not necessary
to scour the pines and like far-away pre-
Acincts at all hours OF the day or night for
9oose cattle or horses.
IN The question of lighting streets was
brought up by Mr.. Wood. He said he
believed something ought to be done to
lprovide light, as the nights were now
growing longer and there would be need
for more light with the approach Of
Yrainy weather. Consequently all feas-
ible plans should be considered. Mr..
Kuck thought incandescent lights would
do if they could be obtained. This
brought Mr.. Champlin to his feet who
stated the committee was waiting for the
, president of the Electric Light Co. (Mr
French) to return to ascertain definitely
what could be done.
Marshal Lauer had with him report
specifying twelve dangerous and defec
. tive sidewalks. A motion was carried
that these walks be declared dangerous
and the owners notified by publication
to repair the same.
