RIFLE, Col. Oct. 27-Wilcox, game
warden, attempted to arrest some In
dians near Lilly Park for violating the
Colorado game laws and was fired up
on by the Utes. The officers returned
the fire, killing five Utes. Wilcox,
with several posses of deputy sheriffs
and ranchmen. are after the Indians
and further conflict seems inevitable.
Parties are organizing to 20 to the re-
lief of the game warden, fearing
general uprising of the Indians.
The trouble began last week when
the White River, Uncomphagre and
Uintah Utes began pouring over the
line from Utah on their annual fall
hunt. The White River Utes were ex-
ceptionally ugly and were apparently
anxious to pick trouble with parties
of whites with whom they came in
contact These Utes were in the
Meeker massacre. There are several
hundred of them now in the state.
Brigadier General Otis of the de-
partment of the Colorado has said that
if the circumstances should warrant it,
troops would be sent to the scene of
the conflict between the Utes and Will
cox men at once. They are ready to
proceed at a moments notice.

and in fungicidal powers has few II

be used 1t Is well to prepare a consid.
cradle amount OF the materials so that
they will only need to be mixed before
using. The copper sulphate will dis
solve readily if suspended in barrel
OF water in coarse sack or basket.
By thus dissolving twenty-four pounds
in, say, thirty-six gallons of water, We
shall have enough for six barrels OF
forty gallons each. The lime should
be slaked slowly, adding water only
as fast as it is taken up. Twenty-four
pounds is all that is needed for the
above amount of copper sulphate, but
II it will be required within a week or
two the entire barrel may be slaked at
once. 1t will not deteriorate if kept
covered with water. The above form
ula Is adapted for use with most crops
but it may be slightly modified. Thus
for the second spraying OF grapes the
amount Of water should be reduced to
thirty gallons, and for most other crops
1t may be increased to fifty gallons af-
ter the second application, especially
II they are made at frequent intervals.

Insanity In Horses.

Whether there are not some horses
that are actually insane is a subject
upon which opinions differ. On this
question an English writer says: Il
have little doubt but that in many
cases where the horse shows sudden.
unaccountable fits of ill temper. vice.
or other demonstrations of strange
conduct, that the cause is due to cere-
bral affection. Horses may become
temporarily insane from certain forms
OF disease, such as, among others, the
development of a tumor on the brain.
Fits of uuaccountable vice may occa-
sionally be the result OF organic
changes in the brain matter. as in
man, and not to normal mental DISPOSE
ton. l was recently told of a young
foal which sometimes was subject to
demonstrations of strange conduct, ac-
companied at intervals by what APP
peaced fits or commissions. He was
found to be suffering from water on
the brain, otherwise hydrocephalus.
He was operated upon surgically with
a view to his relief, but even after he
was broken-in and became a made
horse" he never afterwards was trust
worthy either under the saddle or in
harness, consequently the owner part
ed with him. Singular to relate, both
his dam and grandam were queer cat
tie, and at various times were subject
to strange periodical alterations of
conduct. In the case of the foal men
toned, there can be little doubt that
he was the victim of hereditary brain
disease, productive of temporary in
sanity. Such cases, believe, are more
frequent than is generally supposed.
Horses are not always responsible for
their actions.

Two Kinds of Horsemen.

All mankind may, with great clear
ness, be divided into two parts-those
who understand horses and those who
do not, says an exchange. There are
people who will drive or ride a nag all
day-nay, who may own one and use
it for years-whose powers of observa-
ton are not sufficiently enlisted in the
from any strange horse in the next
stall unless there be some gross diff
ference in color. Such equestrians will
be content to see fine horse. with
nerves, eyes, muscles and possibilities
for good or evil cashiered in favor of
the dead certainty of a peripatctic
steam engine. The second, smaller,
and aside from horse dealers, more no.
BILE group of individuals cannot so
much as enter a fortutous close cab
without taking unconscious note Of the
stockings, the withers, the size and the
facial expression of the creature be-
tween the shafts. One whose sym
pathy stands this test has felt the thrill
impaired by the responsive spring Of
glorious saddle horse, has enjoyed
mental conversations with the shape
ly. all expressive ears OF the sensitive
creature, has been fairly exalted by
mere proximity to the splendid spirit
of hard driven thoroughbred and has
uuiyered with the same heady drink
which brilliant frosty mornings have
brought to the smoking muZzles of his
dancing bays, with their flashing eyes
and strong, curved necks-but is it not
absurd to defend q good horse from
horseless carriage?
