"A fellow who has lived on the frontier

with Indifferent results. 1t was on a warm
day in July. L walked a short distance
from the camp with my gun, hoping TO
see some game. You know in those pra-

makes things seem much larger than they
are and distances are difficult to calou-
late While walking along 1 saw what
appeared to be jack rabbit just over the
crest of a little knoll not far from me. L

to try for a better point of advantage in
order to see the body of the rabbit, so
concluded to try from where l stood, and
by firing low enough to catch the animal

my establishment, up jumped my favocite
white saddle mule.
Il was as much surprised as the mule,
who did not know what to make of it..
She looked around, kicked, shook her
head and ran away, seeming much per-
| turbed. When I saw that the mule was
not seriously injured l lay down md

1T seems that the mule had lain down
in buffalo wallow, and nothing but the

knoll She was summing herself and nov

as content as a mule could be when my

not less than $3.50, and should have felt
badly had she been slain, for she was one
of the best Indian mules 1 ever saw. II

camp that mule would come to the camp
on dead run, and we were always sure
there were Indians not far away"

HARSH LANGUAGE FROM THE BENCH
Judge Baker Severely CensuPes the
Watering of Stock.

The efforts of Church & Co. Of New
York, stockholders in the Citizens Street
Railway Company of Indianapolis, Ind,
before Judge Baker of the federal court,
to have a receiver appointed have failed.
The court denies the application on
technicality and criticised the watering
of stock by the company, saying it was
such business methods that made anar-
chists, and If one-half was true, as al
legged, Mckee Of Pittsburg, ought to be
hung. This provoked indignant pro-
tests from ex-Attorney General Miller and
Ferd Winter, attorneys for the company.
In the afternoon the Indianapolis bar as
sociation took the matter up and instruct
ed Its grievance committee to inquire into
the language OF Judge Baker, looking to
further action.
