The cattle growers of the United
States will probably have to.encounter
in the not remote future a vigorous
competition in the European markets
from Australia That land of vast
areas of cheap grazing lands is capa-
bic of producing an enormous supply
of meat and the quantity is increasing
from year to year. Shipments of live
cattle from Australia to Europe have
not been very successful, but it is said
that chilled beef has been sent from
Sydney to Liverpool in such good con-
ditioR as to sell in the markets at the
prices obtained for beef shipped from
Chicago.

Drawing the Line.


Al1ate Wichita dispatch says that q
remarka BILE dispute is going on between
Comanche and Barber counties, Kan,
and Woods and Woodward counties,
Ok. The official surveyors of the four
counties are quarreling over the
boundaries Recently three broth
ers, named Eickler, killed a man
named Wash Phillips, and they were
arrested by the authorities of Barber
county. At the preliminary examina-
ton the question of jurisdiction was
raised, and it was then found out that
Phillips was killed on the state line
and on the exact spot where the four
counties joined. As the prosecution
would cost $4,000, Barber county in
sisted that the murder was not COM
mitted on its soil, and the other coun-
ties made the same claim, all feeling
too poor to undertake the prosecution
The surveyor of each county was APP
pointed to constitute a commission to
agree as to where the murder was
committed.

the court house and procured license
for the marriage of himself to Blanch
Lee, and on the same evening Elder
Lott performed the ceremony, not,
however, until several attempts had
been made to persuade Chich that he
was being victimized. The Chinaman
was deaf to all warnings and insisted
that the marriage go on. On Wednes-
day morning Blanch Lee and her fe.
male companion took the train out of
town and with them went $500 of
