The Cheyenne Leader announces
that an army board has recently pur-
chased a large number of horses from
Charles Hersig of Laramie county.
The Wyoming horse has made a great
reputation with the army and enough
OF them cannot be procured. This
should remind the ranchmen that the
horse business is still a profitable in
dIstry. There has never been a time
when good driving horses were not
saleable. and well broken family horses
have yer been hard to get at any
price. 1t costs little more to raise good
horses than it does to rear broncos, and
the latter. aside from their value as
cow ponies, have little or no value.

BUFFALO BILL AS AN ORATOR.

Colonel VIM. F.. Cody attended a
meeting of the %sheepmen of Big Horn
county recently and was asked to make
a speech. He responded as follows,
and the sheepmen are still laughing:
1T is a pleasure to welcome to Cody
the representative of a vocation that
has been II of the most honorable
pursued by man since the earliest
dawn of time: that of the fockmaster.

tine, the cradle of humanity and the
birthplace of the religious faith of
millions Of people. If Moses ever made
a tariff by which these pioneers of the
sheep industry were protected from
the cheap wool of Palestine. it has not
been recorded, but We have evidence
that there was money In the sheep
business in those days. for we have all
heard the story of the coat of many
colors in which Joseph's father clothed
HIM and the envy and jealousy it
aroused in Joseph's brethren.

vastated by the sheep mems hungry
nocks, history has not told us. but if
the sheep business paid as we'll then
as 1t does now it is not probable that
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob cared a rap
whether they kicked or not.
II am glad to welcome to Cody the
men of Big Horn county. whose fiocks

that has placed Wyoming second of
all the states in the wool and sheep
industry. 1t is only our neighbor.

INVALIDED TO NITED STATES

Army Officer Who Had N Thrilling Ex-

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 11.-Captain
Devereaux Shields, of the Twenty-ninth
Infantry, United States army, has been in
valided home on account of two wounds
received in one of the most thrilling adven-
lures of the war in the Philippines. Captain
Shields and fifty-two men left Santa Cruz,
on the island of Martinique, on Sept II
last, for the purpose of accommodating. Two
days later they fell into an ambush and
were fired on by about $50 men with rifles,
who were supported by about 1000 men
with bolos.
Captain Shields, telling of the engage
ment, said: 81 was twice wounded and
fell unconscious, but soon recovered, and
then gave the order for the command to
light its way back to the station. / told
them to leave me with a man from the hos
