CATTLE RUSTLERS WHO DICTATE AND OF
FICIALs THAT OBEY.
The cowboy remains aggressive and
picturesque in Southern New Mexico
and in Western Wyoming. Most of
the desperate characters of the New
Mexico cow camps are in hiding in
the mountains with the remnants Of
Black Jacks band of trained robbers
and desperadoes. The worst of the
Wyoming crowd of bronco busters
and cattle herders are in the crowd
of lawless ruffian6 who rendez-
vous IN ia ckson's Hole So says a
Denver letter to the New York Sun.
There is choice assortment of bad
Robbers Roost, IN the desert coun-
try of Eastern Utah, who might be
included in the list of desperadoes of
the West.
During the round up season just
closed there have been several excit-
ing incidents in the Wyoming cattle
districts, and for time it looked as
if the regulars might have to be call
ed out again to restore peace, as they
were in the johnson county cattle war
six years ago. 1t was predicted by
many lat no roundup could be made
in the Hole in-the- Wall country this
season without bloodshed, but the
roundup has been made, a great
many head of stolen cattle reco vered,
and had it not been for the timidity
of the sheriff of johnson county the
gang Of desperadoes might have been
scattered.
The Hole in the Wall is canon
with high, perdedicular walls and a
beautiful green bottom, through which
a fine stream of water finds its way
throughout the entire year. There is
a nigh wall of rock extending for
several miles around the basin, and
the only way of getting on top is
through the canon passage. On top
of the wall is a fine mountain grazing
country, comprising range of sever
al thousand acres. Surrounding the
ledge of rock walls is rough foot hill
country covered with brush and
scrubby timber end broken by deep
guIches and issolated rocky peaks
whicn make it an ideal region for the
gang of thieves who make it their per
manent headquarters. For several
years they have emerged from this
fastness to pillage in the settlements
and to steal boldly from the great
ranges. Lalge numbers of cattle have
been driven into the broken country
to be driven afterward in small
punches to the upland grazing range
where, after being pnt in marketable
form, they have been worked ovel
gradually into the Big Horn country
, to be sold to small butch, rs or ship
ped to markets where there are no in
spectors familiar with Wyoming

rlfies from their scabbards, and lay
flat on the ground as if inviting or
daring an attack. The roundup
party did not draw weapons. neither
did they halt, but rode slowly toward
the small band of rustlers. Sheriff
SproaI rode forward and assured the
men that there wonld be no fighting
and ordered them to remount, which
they did. At the same time one of
the COW outfit observed a party of
fifteen men we'll mounted and all
armed inst over ths hill where they
were in ambush awaiting the open
ing of hostilities. Had single shot
been fired there would have been
battle and it would have been with
out quarter The cowboys were ach-
ing for fight, but the action of the
sheriff in riding forward and advis-
ing against fight prevented blood
sh,G. 1t was supposed that the bank
robbers were in the party and the
sheriff was urged to permit the cow
boys to surround the party and cap
ture those men at any rate, but the
sheriff declined to sanction the move
ment, and both parties separated and
rode away. Besides the lost cattle.
saddle and work horses were recover
ed that had been stolen from ranches.
A fine carriage team of Senator
Robert Taylor was also recovered.
Thus the situat tion remains practi-
cally unchanged. and though much
stock was recovered IN the first
round up of the Hole in the Wall
country, it will be no difficult thing
for the rustlers to replenish their
stock. The officials seem to desire
not to make arrests, and the cattle
men will have to start another inva-
sion before they can hope to end this
trouble.

The old story of Prometh,ns is a

To search out the origin md reason of

a mental characteristic. The keenest

In the latter part of December the
stockholders of the Mobile and Ohio
railroad approved the proposed issue of
1874, 600, 900 worth Of bonds for the pur-
pose of building the proposed road from
Montgomery to Columbus, Miss. This
road is to be called the Montgomery,
Tuscaloosa and Memphis road and when
built will be nearly 200 miles in length.
The contract for the building Of the road
was let to a Mr.. Voolfolk, Of Montgom-
cry, and the outlook for the building of
the road is very favorable. 1t was one
of the conditions Of the contract that no
work should be started until terminal
facilities had been secured at Montgom-
cry. For some time it looked as if these
would not be granted, but more recent
developments have given the officials Of
that road some reason to hope that there
will be no trouble about getting the de.
sired terminal concessions from the city
of Montgomery. When this road is
built, the Mobile and Ohio will at once
come into much more prominence as a
strong bidder for Southern business, -

Cure for Hog Cholera.

There is no longer any question but
that a remedy has been found for hog
cholera, says a recent dispatch from
Mason City, Iowa. The Farmers In
stitute at Rockwell was favored with
the presence of Frank Baumgartner Of
Peotine, ILL.,, Division Freight Agent
Cleaners of Dubuque and District
Agent Calkins. The two latter are rep.
resentatives of the Chicags, Milwaukee
and st. Paul road. Mr.. Baumgartuer
addressed the convention and submitted
conclusive proof that the disease was
neither infectious nor contagious, but
WAS produced by feeding. causing what
he calls a break He does not call
the disease cholera, but malaria, ty.'
phoid fever or appendicitis. He is
backed by the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st, Paul Railroad, and a commission
from the Agricultural Department will
visit him in a few days He has made
three public exhibitions so far at Dubu.
que, West Union and McGregor. He
went into sick herds and absolutely
cured them. He has gone into well
herds and produced the cholera, allow.
ing one hog to die and curing the others
The farmers attending the Institute
were so thoroughly convinced of his
ability to cure that had he had his med
icine nov on sale, hundreds Of dollars
would have then and there been ex.
pended for the drug, as hogs are dying
in this locality by the hundreds. The
State lost SIS, 5000, 900 in hogs during
the past year. The Milwaukee road
alone has lost in this freight over = mil.
lion dollars.

banks went under with liabilities of
twenty. one of these oncerns footing up

A submarine terror glided into Ches-
apeake Bay waters last week off the
ways Of the Columbian Iron Works of
Baltimore-a torpedo boat Of terrible de-
structive powers, the invention Of a
clever Irishman, John @. Holland. The
craft is described as having the appear
ance of an immense cigar, but her inte-
rior filed with ingenious machinery and
chambers of compressed air. In action
she carries Eve torpedoes, two of which
can be discharged simultaneously; and
these charged with two hundred pounds
each of gun cotton, will sink the largest
battle ship at = distance Of a mile. The
boat was built by the government, an
appropriation Of $3.50. 900 having been
made for the purpose.
