Office yesterday. LibDey was sentenc-
ed to the penitentiary from Sedgwick
county Tor a term Of two and half
years, May -, 1900, for larceny of live
stock. In his letter he says it was
through the Black Angels that his
conviction was secured.
''lIe says the Redeemers is an organ
ization of cattle men which warns the
small ranchman to leave the country.
If he fails to act upon the seemingly
friendly suggestion, Mr.. Libbey says
the Black Angels come into the field,
and because of thcir wealth and inhu-
ence can make the ranchman suffer
any loss they wish. Libbey says that
the cattlemeu have been prosecuting
him since 1886, when he befriended
one Mills, who finally was tarred and
Ieathercd by the Black Angels and
driven from the country. Libbey says
that the Black Angels want to drive
him out and get his ranch.
'Libbeys ranch is on the Nebraska
side of the line. The charge of horse
stealing lie explains, saying that Her
bert Morris of Iulesburg came over to
his ranch with band of horses which
the Colorado man said he had pur-
chased. Morris had previously work
ed for Libbey. and Libbey believed
him nonest. Later Libbey learned
that the horses We're stolen, when he
drove them back into Colorado, and
was returning with them TO the own
crs when he was arrested. The Black
Angels he says prosecuted the case
and secured his conviction"

The Denver Republican of July
oath contains the following arti-
Gle in regard to the case. AS
there is but little truth in the ar

reporter who wrote it is
badly mixed as to facts or that
Libbey's confinement has made

THEY SLEEP HANGING UP.
Cloths and Bats Suspend Themselves
without Excrtion.

gloths ana Bats suspend Themselves
without Excrtion.
There is one animal which lives en-
tirely in trees, but is aOle to maintain
its position during slumber without the
least exercise of muscular force. This
is the sloth, common in the forests of
tropical America. Its long claws are SO
bent that they hook over the branches
and allow the creature to hang upside
down like an animated hammock. Gu
riously enough, the hammock appears
to be South American invention and
is universally employed by all the In
dian tribes of the Amazons. Perhaps
the primitive human dwellers in this
region took to sleeping in hammocks
after observing the habits of the sloth.
The great ant eater which is both a
kiasman and fellow countryman of the
sloth, has an enormous tail, which ii
uses in Il very remarkable manner.
recently saw two of these strange ami
mails lying together asleep, and they
had arranged their tails so cleverly
that their whole bodies were hidden
from view. Moreover, it was evident
that this caudal covering would afford
excellent protection from the weather
for the central solid part of the tails
acted as a kind of ridge pole over the
highest part Of the sleepers' bodies, sc
that the long fringes of hair sloped
downward on each side like the thatcl
upon roof.
Like the sloths, many kinds Of bats
sleep suspended by their hooked claws
without any muscular eXertion what
ever. Some Of the large fruit eating
bats of the tropics, which do not sleer
in holes like the species common In
southern latitudes but which hang sus
pended to the branches of trees in the
open air, adopt Il position which il

The eating of high" game is un-
doubtedly attended with risks, and the
poisonous effects are probably due to
the toxins produced in the earlier
stages Of the putrefactlvC process. The
advantage, of course, of hanging game
is that the flesh becomes tender and
decidedly more digestible than when
1t is quite fresh. The ripenlng proc
ess, however, may mean the elabora-
tion of toxins
1t has been stated that the produc.
ton of the characteristic flavors of
game is related directly to the amount
of sulphuretted hydrogen or sulphur
alcohol get free, but 1t is rather re-
pulsive to think that the delicate flavor
of game is dependent upon that invari.
able product Of decomposition of rot
ten eggs-sulphureted hydrogen. The
smell evolved during cooking of "high''
game is even more disgusting.
Fresh game sometimes sets up mys-
terious poisonous symptoms which
have been attributed to the fact of the
game having been overhunted and
fatlgucd. Fatigue products indeed
have been separated from overhunted
game which, when injected into a
healthy animal, have produced marked
poisonous effects. There is no doubt
that fatigue products under certain cir
cumstances are also elaborated in the
human body and give rise to species
of self poisoning, characteristic symp
toms of which are headache, stupol
and gastric and intestinal pains The
flesh of overdriven cattle may prove
poisonous from the same cause

An Expelled NJ. P.'s Prayer.

During the first half of the eight
eenth century one of the members for a
southern constituency was expelled
from the house of commons for forgery
and indeed endured the purgatory Of
standing in the pillory for day. He
was a man Of unctuous piety, and his
career in many respects resembled that
of Jabez Balfour In later days. After
bis death the following prayer was
found in his own handwriting among
his papers:
20 Lord, thou knowest that ] have
nine houses in the city of London and
that have lately purchased an estate
in fee simple In the county of Essex.
bcseech thee to preserve the two coun-
ties of MiddleseX and Essex from fire
and earthquake, and as have mort
gage in Herefordshire beg OF thee to
have an eye of compassion also on that
county, and for the rest of the counties
thou mayest deal with them as thou art
pleased. Give prosperous voyage to
