His Efforts to Manage a Cat Boat By
 Range Tactics

The Lordsburg Liberal has received
 word from Catalina Island that John
 McCabe thinks he is as good a sailor as he is cowboy. or at least he claims
 he is. He watched the bcatman han de the cat boats for a day or SO. nd

He se- cured d boat and set out for sail. phe wind was light, the boat was steady. and all went well.

He was not long getting !h 7 hang of it. and then had mo trouble. John always was popular with the the ladies and after ne got SD he could handle a boat he was even more SD, and had his choice of the fair ones on the island for d sailing companion. Last Sunday afternoon he concluded to take a sail and invited a beautiful ma tive daughter of the golden west to accompany him. She was only too glad to go. and they had a pleasant sail.
