CRUELTY TO CATTLE.
Colorado Animals Dehorned by the
Use of a Carpenter Rip Saw.

Denver, Nov. 23.-Tomorrow morning,
before Justice R. L. HattOn, two miles
west of Fort Logan, the Humane soci-
ETY. will try its first case for dehorning
cattle.
The Humane society has never taken
the stand that dehorning should be pro-
hibited provided it be done with proper
instruments and in the quickest and
most humane manner. It is some etimeS
done with a pair of sO-called shears
which clip the horn off at one stroke; /;
sometimes with a SmaI-tOOthed sharp
saw, which will take off horn in a few
seconds, and, best of all, by a little CIR
cular saw rugged on a machine some
thing like a hOrseclipper.
If the proper tools are not used or If
the sometimes wild and unruly animals
are not considerably handled, the Oper-
alton become one OF excruciating pain.
This is the foundation of the present
prosecution. Secretary of the Humane
Society Whitehead in an interview last
night said: According to the witness
es, a man named c. V. Brunk of Castle
Rock, who is professional dehorner,
was given a contract to dehOrn a herd
of 40 cattle belonging to William
Church of Bear creek and being pas
tured on the ranch of a man named
west of Fort Logan. The contract with
Brunk is said to have been made by
Henry, who is well known in Denver,
and is said to have been for many
years in the employ of the Colorado,
National bank. The unfortunate aniA
mails are said to have been treated with
great harshness and cruelty, their cries
and bellOWings of anguish being heard
nearly a mile away
Some of the neighbors who went over
to see what the trouble was say they
could hardly bear to witness the suffer-
ings of the cattle, and state that be-
sides the dehorning, they were prodded
with pitchfOrkS, beaten with clubs,
thrown, rOped and hOg-tied, pricked
with saws and otherwise Shamefully
abused. Some of the horns were said
to have been only partly sawed off and
apparently broken the rest of the way.
Not all of them were treated with equal
severity, the wilder and more Unruly
ones suffering most.
Complaint was made to the Humane
society when nearly all of them had
been dehOrned. An agent was at once
sent out. There remained then only
three of four cattle to dehOrn, but the
first one dehOrned after his arrival and
before his identity was known, was
treated with such brutality that he was
. compelled to interfere. The man Brunk
be tried tomorrow in Justice Hatton's
court at Lees Siding, west of Fort Lo-
gan.
Several days are said to have been
consumed in dehOrning the cattle,
whereas it is claimed that one day
would have been enough if it had been
properly done. One OF the tools" found
by the society's agent was a carpent
er's rip saw covered with blood. Aside
that it takes a long time for cattle to
recover from the shock of such treat
ment so as to take on flesh, and that
some never do it.

COMMON SENSE CURE.
PYRAMID PILE CURE CURES PILES
PERMANENTLY BY CURTNG
THE CAUSE.
Remarkable Remedy Which il
Bringing Comfort to Thousands
of Sufferers.

Probably half the people who see this
article suffer from piles. 1t is one of the
commonest diseases and one of the
most obstinate. People have it for
years and just because it is not imne-
diately fatal they neglect it. Careless
ness causes no end of suffering. Care
Iessness about so simple thing as piles
has often caused death. HemOrrhages
occur from no apparent cause and loss
Of blood causes death. Hemmorrhages
occur during surgical treatment, often
causing death.
Piles are simple in the beginning and
easily cured. They can be cured even
an the worst stages, without pain or loss
of blood, quickly, surely and completely
There is only one remedy that will do
it-Pyramid Pile Cure.
1t allays the inflammation Immediate
ly, heals the irritated surface and with
continued treatment reduces the swell
ing and puts the membranes into good,
sound healthy condition. The cure is
thorough and permanent.
Here are some voluntary and unsO-
hcited testimonials we have lately re-
ceived:
Mrs NJ. @. HfnkIy, sol Mississippi St,
Indianapolis, Ind, says: Have been a
sufferer from the pain and annoyance
of piles for fifteen years, the Pyramid
Pile Cure and Pyramid Pills gave me
immediate relief and in a short time a
complete cure.
Mr.. NJ. Griffin, proprietor of the Grif-
I'm House, Detroit, Mich, says: have
been a sufferer from piles until three
years ago 1 bought one box of the Pyr-
amid Pile Cure and since then I have
had no piles. 1 have recommended
them to many friends and guests at my
hotel, every one of whom has been
cured.
The above is true as my experience
has proved it and hope it may induce
other sufferers to try the Pyramid.
A little book on cause and cure of
piles will be mailed free to any address
by writing to Pyramid Drug Co., Mar
shall, Mich.
Druggists sell full sized packages OF
Pyramid Pile Cure at 30 cents.

COAL OIL EXPLOSION.
Tt Burns Albert Jordan so Badly That
He is in the Hospital

Albert Jordan, aged Is years, who
lives at 512 Western avenue, is now at
the Salvation Army hospital suffering
from the effects of a coal oil explosion
which occurred Saturday night.
He was at his home, and in the even
ing before retiring he went to his room
and took with him a lantern He
spread some clean clothes on the bed
and was tucking the edges under the
mattress when he accidentally struck
the lantern with his foot. 1t tipped
over and the oil which ran out took
fire. Burning oil was spurted on the
young mans hand as he tried to carry
on the floor was extinguished by the
family.
When Albert Jordan threw the burn
ing lantern outside he realized that his
hand had been horribly burned. Soon
the pain became intense and a phySi-
clan was called. Being in poor cir
cumstances it was thought best to take
him to the Salvation Army hospital
DR.. Agnes Mckee Wallace dressed the
injured hand. The member was so
badly burned that it was at first
thought that amputation would be nee
essary. The skin and flesh were burned
nearly to the bone and it will be many
weeks before Albert Jordan can have
any use of the hand. The injury is a
most serious one, and is extremely
painful, but unless blood poisoning
should set in there is but little danger
to result.

jailers were as kind as could be expected,

FLAWLESS DIAMOND.
Set in the Center of a Baltimore
Woman's Gold Tooth

Baltimore. Nov. 23-Ndiss Florence
Hudson, of this city, is the possessOr of
a tooth that is one of the most unique
in the world. The tooth is of solid
gold and bears in the middle a beauti-
full and f1awless diamond. The dia-
mond is somewhat more than a half
carat, and graces the tooth known as
the lateral incisor, which sets in the
left side of the upper jaw, well to the
front.
The tooth is one of a pair of solid
gold ones, which were put into the up
per jaw by means of golden bridge,
and the effect is not only startling, but
beautiful. The diamond is set right in
the center of the tooth which is large
one and occupies about half of its front
surface.
The tooth was practically made
around the diamond, which is visible on
both the front and back of the tooth.

ATLANTA'S CONDITION.
City is in First Rate Financial Fiz
Right Now.

Atlanta, Nov 23-The city of Atlanta
is in first rate financial condition.
Mayor Collier and Chairman Peters, of
the finance committee. are well pleased
with the financial outlook and they say
the city will quit the year ahead in a
financial way.
There is now in the treasury more
than S240, 600 in cash and money is com
ing in every day. The Indebtedness of
the city for the ordinary running ex-
penses yet to be paid is small and when
the year ends the usual charter funds
will be intact and the indications are
that there will be some besides unap-
prOpriated.

The Burlington's New Observation
VestibuIed Trains.

A very handsome set of wide obser-
walton vestibuled trains are just out of
the Burlington's shops. They are avail
able for all classes of travel, and are
the only trains of their kind to St.
Louis from the Missouri River. These
are the Denver, Missouri River and St
Louis limited trains. Every car has a
wide observation vestibule. The trains
are lighted throughout with Pintsch
gas and equipped also with standard
and compartment SleeperS.
These trains are a duplicate of the
new Eli to Chicago.
This achievement reflects the high
est credit upon the Burlington man
agement in Missouri, which is the first
to introduce into the service, from the
west to st. Louis, these solid, complete.
wide-vest tibuled trains for all classes of
travel.
