A case of youthful depravity has re-
Gently come to public notice at Turn
ers Falls. Mass. It appears that several
boys from Tough end" who had
heard the particulars Of the execution
Of O'Neil. pncluded to try one of their
number + the crime OF murder. An
empty frei. car was used as court
room, and che trial proceeded with
Judge. jury, and full complement of
officers.
After the trial, in which the accused
was found guilty, the sentence of death
was pronounced upon the accused, and
preparations taken to carry out the
decree of the court. The death watch
was set and gallows improvised in
the car. When the time drew near for
the execution the condemned boy was
mounted upon box and the moose ad-
justed. The box was knocked out
from under his feet. and the victim
was told that when he stopped kick
Ing he would be cut down. He was
soon unable to kick, and the break
ing of the rope probably saved the
boys life. Some little time was re-
quired to bring the boy around.
The ages Of the boys are given as
from 10 to Is, and the victims age was
about IL. The matter has been kept
very quiet. and 1t was only by accident
that the affair became known.

The Lehigh Valley Railroad to Enter
Williamsport.

Williamsport.
The Lehigh Valley railroad has for
some time been seeking an outlet which
would bring it into Willamsport and it is
believed now that it has almost accom-
plished its end. The executors of the
estate of John Satterfeld, of Buffalo, the
practical owners OF the Willamsport d
North Branch railroad extending from
Satterfeld to Halls, have decideded to
dispose Of the property. The necessary
legal steps have been taken, and all parties
interested are agreed upon tie sale.
The executors of the Satterfield estate
have received an offer Of $450,O for the
road, $50, 600 of which was to be paid
down; they refused to state the name OF
the purchaser, but it is believed to be the
I.ehigh Valley railroad. This purchase
will secure for that road its own tracks as
far as Halls and entrance to William
sport from that over the Philadelphia
and Reading tracks. 1t would have an
other effect, also, in that it would check
mate the projectors of the road from Bing-
hamton to Wiliamsport which was to
use the Williansport and North Branch
as part OF it's system.
The Lehigh Valley would find this
branch valuable feeder, both in freight
and passenger business and would give it
access to and business from portion OF
the State which it does not now touch.

THE CATTLE INDUSTRY IN THE WEST.

1t is within two or three years that the
industry has taken the form it now has.
Briefly stated, that form is the embodi.
ment of the following facts: the best
breeding~places for cattle are probably
Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma,
and the Indian Territory, where the eli
mate is mild; the best grazing places
for cattle are Montana, Wyoming, west
ern Kansas, and western Nebraska, the
home of the native grasses on which the
great herds of buffalo used to Craze; the
best feeding Or fattening places for cat
tie are eastern Kansas, eastern Nebraska,
Missouri, and Iowa, where the corn that
ripens them is grown; the best killing
places for cattle are nearest the feeding
places, Ewhere the finishing process in
food preparation is put on, providing
freight facilities are adequate.
In broad way this movement in the
cattle industry is now followed. Vast
herds are produced in the warmer re-
gions to the south Of the Middle West.
After reaching suitable age they are
sent TO the great grazing-grounds in the
Middle West grounds apparently de-
signed by nature for this purpose When
they reach the age for killing they are
forwarded again to feeding stations,
most of which are within 200 miles of the
packing and after q stay there
to acquire flavor, weight, and fat, they
are slaughtered near the stock-yards.
The great trains of cattle that followed
the disuse of the cattle trail are being
duplicated to-day, but in different way.
They are used to transport the cattle to
the grazing grounds. ! met astock-man
in Kansas who had made, in 1896, no less
than six round trips to Oregon, where he
purchased native cattle, and, In special
