One Mule. Two ogs and a Boy.

Sam Peacock is a herd-boy He
rides d mule. This mule has no vain
pride but rejoices in the compound
cognomen of .Jinnv-Spena which de-
notes her sex and former ownership.
Said mule inherited all the meekness
of Moses" her paternal ancestor,
which belonged to Hank Davis and
ambled about the Red Front barn in
boom days and was possessed Of a
voice which, with very little train
ing. might have startled the nations
or woke the echoes in the canyons of
the Smoky All old settlers will re-
member him, having seen HIM or
heard his gentle bray; that is Moses
not Hanks Well, the mule in
question is modest, kind, careful,
considerate, conservative creature
which will stand for hours at time
in the same position not seeming to
covet blade of grass an inch beyond
the stretch of her neck. Nothing
less than the hot foot of CAD fly can
persuade her to lift a hoof or wag an
ear-sometImeS Sam also uses two
dogs in his business and at such times
they appear to be an almost insepara-
BILE part of the mule. During the
gentle zephyr of last Saturday both
dogs and boy thought to utilize the
shade of the mule and take a rest
while the herd grazed. The dogs
were soon snoozing, the mule was
sound asleep, apparently, and had
been for an hour. Sam, himself, was
crossing the frontier of the land of
Nod. In fancy, the cattle on a thou
sand hills were his and all of the red
faced, whIte-polled Texaway variety
no two alike. In his dream he was
just about to make bargain with a
stock buyer for five hundred choice
cattle at fifty dollars per head when
there came tremendous thump,
landing on his head just over the
right pepper. The mule had reused
up. So did Sam. His vision of fat
calico cattle dwindled away to about
one hundred animals which were
grazing peacefully and unmolested-
except bv flies.
Sam has sore head and a black
eye. He says the next time he falls
asleep in the shade of mule he will

Washington, ID. c., July 12.-The
general land office has sent out cir
cular letter to the registers and re-
ceiyers of the land offices throughout
the West setting forth the terms of
the law relative to the requirement
of homesteads on western public

that persons who have already made
entries are not disqualified from the
benefits of the general homestead
laws, but can make another entry. 1t
also sets forth that under the law
those who have committed their en-
tries by the payment of cash in lieu
of a longer period of residence are
entitled to another homestead. The
circular letter quotes the sections of
the law that apply and then enters

Accidental Death.

John Moe, one of our city boys, was
down at Hays, and on Thursday morn
ing was playing on or around John r.
Wilson's work train. He was walk
ing on the train ana was going from
one car to another. He put his
hands on one end of the fiat-car and
was going to jump over, he struck
his head on a timber, which caused
him to be thrown between the cars,
and was caught by the brake and
dragged about 100 feet before the
train could be stopped.
He was taken to the depot and
and medical assistance was on hand
Instantly 1t was found that his
back, and both legs were broken,
also his right arm. DR.. Middlekauf
was the physician. He lived about
81 minutes after the accident He
was then taken to Mr.. Hayerman's
and received the requisite attend
ance for burial. The people of
HAYS showed great willingness to
give proper care to the deceased.
