ENGLE, N. NJ, OCT. 3.-The "up-
per ten" of Englelites sat down to q
pleasant and sociable game of high
five in the parlors Of that estimable
hostess and entertainer, Mrs. Anna
Baldwin, Saturday night, and during
the progress of the playing the par
Elephants were frequently Interrupted
by refreshments being served. A
most enjoyable evening was spent by
the little gathering.
The T. T. x. cattle outfit are now
undergoing their fall roundup. Mi
chael Slattory is experimenting the
affair and over q score of sturdy COW
rowing bands.
A party of expert trappers and hunt
ers moved through here last week en-
route to Fairview and vicinity in quest
of batch of gray wolves that have
been devouripg cattle, sheep and other
stock, causing the owners no end of
worry. The ranchers becoming dis
tressed at the continual loss OF their
stock possessions, assembled and agreed
to offer a reward of fifty dollars bounty
for wolf scalps. Hence the pilgrimage
of the marksmen and trhppers.
Levi Baldwin, the big ranch owner
in this region, returned this morning
from Colorado and Kansas where he
controls vast stock interests. Mr..
Bald win was on an extended business
trip covering several weeks time, and
altogether is exceedingly pleased with
the result of his journey and the en-
couraging cattle outlook this fall.
Nellie McKinstrey, the young wo-
man who recently figured very promi-
nently in the sensational shooting af-
fray at Fairview, passed through here
Friday last on her way to Marion, In
diana. where che resides. The ex-ac-
tress was accompanied here by her at
tending physician, the doctor acting
as her escort during the stage ride to
this point. The Economically inclined
woman who barely escaped death at
the hands of Jack Sprad,
by bunch of cowboys, was 10th to dis
cuss the affair or any of the causes that
led to SpradlinR threatening her with
the avowed intention of ending her ex-
istence. She was decidedly anxious to
get away from the scene of her trying
escapades and forget her advent and
circumstances thereto while in this
section of the earth. The woman
showed unusual demeanor as the
result of her bullet wound, save
that she was somewhat paled in features
from confinement to her room. Her
erect aud commanding figures did not
denote any effects of the shot that was
i'm bedded in her shoulder blade. It is
learned from the best possible source,
however, that the woman received a
goodly sum of money from the Sprad-
ling estate and the amount is not far
from the thousand dollar mark. In
consideration of the sum given her the
adventurous female relinRuished oil
further claims on the estate by signing
q quit claim agreement satisfactory to
the administra tor. She was good rid
dence, they say over at Fairview, as
her presence there, coupled with
the notoriety she brought to the usual
quiet mining region, has been exceed
ingly obnaxious.'
The postmaster here received q COM
munication from q young man in Texas
Spradiipg, the dead man. II is be-
lieved the writer is possibly long sep
srsted son of the cattleman, as he ap-
pears to be thoroughly acquainted with
the char acteriSticS OF Spreading and Is
noticeably accurate as to dates and
other incidents In connection with the
stockman's coming to this territory
some fifteen years ago, when the writer
was but q mere child.
How is it you are continually kick
ing and brayipg when there is no ap-
parent reason for the grumbling?"
said the hungry coyote with the bar
rell steve ribs as he encountered q long
cared burro in the shade of a cactus
plant.
"Perhsps you don't do your share of
the bowling" was the quiet rejoiner,
and with that the lean and miserable
coyote landed fifteen feet distant by o
whirlwind jolt from one Of the rear
pedals of the sensitive jack-ass, who
quietly pricked up his shelterine ears
with an air of triumph and smilingly
watched the inquisitive coyote limp
across the barren plain.
