j. Claude Bradley, a prominent mer-
chant and cattleman of Durango, Colo,
was seen at the Walker yesterday. In
speaking of the drought that has been
sweeping that part of the country, Mr..
Bradley said: Few haven't witnessed any
tnlng ike IL since l went into that coun-
Try. over ten years ago. Cattle in some
parts have been simply moved down.
myseif have lost several hundred head.
L know one firm down there that has lost
nearly every head they owned, which
amounted TO nearly 2.0O0. L don't know
what we will do down there if we don t
get some rain pretty soon. Several streams
Which the cattle depended upon for their
drinking are dry, streams that were never
known TO be dry before. / am here now
making arrangements TO ship in some
cattle Since l left L have received word
that they have had some good rain and
Things look more cheerful"
Il am on my way to San Francisco TO
serve in the new hospital that is being
built at the Presidio," remarked DR.. L.
". AmeS. acting assistant surgeon in the
United States army Il have been at Sa-
Vannah since March, where we had nearly
10Do sick soldiers. The hospital there is
new, having been built last March. l also
saw service at Montauk Point. where 1
witnessed an incident that displayed i'm
mense will power. There was an old fell
low there by the name of Badger. He was
from Texas and was taken sick on board
the transport coming from Cuba. The
fellow had pneumonia and was well-nigh
gone. One morning the doctor came in
and called the nurse over to Badger, who
was lying apparently dead. Order a coffin
for this man. said the doctor indicating
Badger with his hand. ThereuDon the
supposed dead man jumped to his feet and
exclaimed: III be ID if I'll dier And
he got better from then on, and is now
We'll man.
Il have just come up from Milford"
remarked W. S. Hendricks of Richmond.
OF . haf I'LL ,f.l.~ 1. 4
tract for building the Utah & Pacific rail-
road from Milford to Stateline. and L
have Just completed it. Now L am here
to bid on the contract for the ST. Anthony
branch of the Oregon Short Line. running
from Idaho Falls. L think we will get it
all right, as know just about what is to
be done and | know how TO do it. They
are continuing work on the Utah * Pa
ciflc. Thev have an immense force of
men down there now, and they are going
to push it right through. And the same
with the St Anthony road. They expect
to have it completed by Oct. L.
J. w. Harris of Kansas City, last night
at the Kenyon. related an experience he
had with two pickpockets. 1t happened
in Cheyenne the other day" said Mr.. Har-
ris. My wife and l were riding on the
streetcar and two very Incorporating
men came in, one sitting down by me-
the other opposite my wife. Presently 1
discovered that the man on the other side
of the car was ogling my wife in Il very
brazen manner. l looked at him in a de
cidedly disappearing way. but he seemed
not to notice IL. In a few moments both
the men got off. and not until we got to
the hotel did | discover that a check
amounting to about 500 had been taken
out Of my pocket. OF course, / understood
now that that little ogling game was only
to attract my attention while the man
next to me relieved me of the check that
had just gotten in the bank and care
lessly put in my coat pocket. They have
not found the rogueS yet"
