SHOOTING WILD HORSES
y" employment Engaged In by a
Nebraska Woman.
;, lFI0@ 'be san Francisco Esaniinef.)

(FIom The san Francisco Examincr)
Shooting wild horses for a living seems
\ odd employment, especially for woman.
but there is woman in Nevada who
earns her livelihood in just that way She
rs Californian, too, and young woman,
only twen,y-three years old. Her name Is
Maud Whiteman. Until she went TO Ne
Eada six years ago her home was on a
ranch some few miles from Fresno Being
OF sturdy and veuturesome disposition,
Maud early learned to manage horses and

pened that when her father by some mis-
chance was forced to part with his home
in California his daughter was fitted to be
his helper in the rude region selected by
him fo5 n further struggle with fate.
The father is an old soldier. having
served his country in both the Mexican
and civil wars. He is a tall, fine looking
man. Of splendid physique. He is. how
ever. no longer young. and the sixty-five
years that have passed over him have lin
tied his opportunities for work, so he de-
cided to kill wild horses for their hides.
Neither his age nor his lack of capital hin :.
dered effort in that direction, while prices
for hides were fairly good, and wild mus
tangs were plentiful. e.
From the first Maud was an active part

leader of the herd. All Others OF the wild
band Immediately rush away. but soon
they return in quest of their leader. Now
is the opportunity. The mounted riders
rush from hiding. shoot as many as posi-
bic, and follow the fleeing victims until
all, or nearly all. are killed.
Maud is an expert at removing hides.
When her father has taken the names and
tails, which are also salable. she strips off
the hides. These are dried by spreading
them upon sagebrush. placing bags or
blankets between them to admit of free |
access OF air. At the end of three weeks |
they are ready for shipment. Sometimes |
as many as seventy are thus disposed of |
in a month.

A BLUE-coATEo NoBLEMAN.
He Has Served Eleven Years ON the
Detroit Police Force.

{Frym the Detroit Journal)
He is on the metropolitan police force
and he is a member Of German family
whose record dates beck goo years. OF late
reports from the Fremont Station have
come down to police headquarters written
on paper which bears a great feudal crest
of rare and antique design. The idea of a
patrolman submitting precinct reports be-
meath an escutcheon of medieval Germany
appeared a bit incoDgruous. and Robert X.
0esterTeich was asked about IL.
when / came to this country | was n
boy of seventeen years, and / had an old
drawing Of this escutcheon in our old house
at Selsbrow, about twenty miles south of
Berlin. Father told me all that he knew
about the significance OF the different fields
on the crest. and gave me the drawing. Il
brought it to America with me, and about
year ago | had the old drawing repro
duced because the colors were rapidly fad
ing out and the figures were becoming in
distinct.
II have forgotten what my father told
me about the crest and our ancestors. l
was only lad and great many things
have come into my life to crowd out his
description. but wrapped up with the old
plate was a yellow manuscript which, |
believe. explains the meaning OF the crest,
and gives some of the genealogy Of the
0esterreich family"
The manuscript Is yellow with age and
the ancient scrip is scarcely legible. There
is nothing in the American conception OF
aristocracy TO correspond with the gradual
tion of continetai country, but the old
document explains that the house OF 0es-
terreich was very close indeed to nobility.
Detroit's representative OF this very an
cient family, Robert G. Oesterreich, has
been in that city about thirteen years, OF
which time eleven years has been spent
on the police force.

A CANINE ACROBAT.
Clever Tricks Performed by an Ex-
pressmRn's Pup.
From the Kansas City S;arJ

(From the Kansas City Star)
He's an acrobstic fox terrier and he
learned all his tricks himself. His master
is an expressman and took him with him
on the seat for company's sake when the
dog was only pup. The pup learned TO do
all his tricks on the wagon during the long,
lonesome drives about town. He learned
to ride on the seat like man, to leap from
the seat to the horses back while the horse
was moving and TO bark in the horses ear
that he must move faster.
Not long ago the expressman put lad
der in the wagon and drove down town
with it, The ladder was so long that it
stuck out the end of the wagon several fee
and the dog ran out to the end OF 1t when
he got down town. Just to show what he
could do. There he stood, barking with
excitement and Joy while the people point
ed at him and laughed. But his pride had
a fall. The wagon bumped over the street
car tracks at Eleventh and Walnut Streets
one day Unexpectedly and up went the dog
as If he had been shot off spring board.
He landed III the street and cruel people
laughed at him he fed 90 where his
master stopped to take him on the seat
again. Since then he has ridder no ladders
and he does not like crowds.

men called an inspector.
The Inspector backed by bis five subor-
dinates, the conductor and the motorman,
glared at the females and said harsh
things to them, but they held to their
coign of vantage. Then the inspector
shook his head and turned away. And
the disciplined quintet of subordinates
shook their heads and turned away.
you have high forehead, inspector"
said one of the danes in tone that was
meant to be complimentary.
And the conductor and the motorman
sat down on the side of the roadway and
waited. They couldn't go ahead with
those women in the front vestibule, and
they couldn't get 'cm out. In the mean
time cars were lining up behind them
clear to Harlem bridge, and excursionists
of all degrees were raging at the delay.
But rules are rules, and for three hours
traffic was suspended by those obstinate
ladies.
Finally the irate superintendent In his
Office several miles away, had a happy
thought.
"Sidetrack that car" he telephoned,
'and let those women enjoy 1t for the
rest Of their natural livesI'
So the motorman sidetracked the car,
and traffic was resumed. And there the
obstinate ones sat in silent state until the
sun climbed up above White Plains to
stare at them, and then they stole from
the vestibule and boarded another car
and stood with the common herd and per-
haps inwardly chuckled over the way In
which they had blocked the workings of a
