Monroe Times A man who pur-
chases a western broncho usua " ex-
poets that the animal viii break its
neck or bat its brains out in stall,
but the possibility of having disease
is a far thought, but most OF the
bronchoes in the bunch that was sold
out here few weeks ago have died
! from disease. One farmer who
bought all he could get and more
than he could well handle, had half
of them die off, while nearly half a
dozen of his other horses have con-
tracted disease from the bronchoes
and may die also. Other smaller
losses arc reported and the man who
parted with his money to get bron
cho and is not sorry for it is found to
be the exception.
The civil service commission an
nouncCs that an examination will be
held at Baraboo May II, IS and 10 for
the admission of cadets in the United
States revenue cutter service This
will give young men of Grant county
and the district an opportunity to
take the examination and if success
fultheir names will be placed on the
eligible list for appointment as vacan-
cies occur. The commission states
that they have heretofore experienced
considerable difficulty in securing
sufficient number of eligibles for this
position, Notwithstanding the tact
that this is one of the most desirable
parts of the service, and that the quail
tications necessary for appointment
to the position of cadet are somewhat
similar to those for appointment to
Annapolis.
