Of years Barney has conducted himself in
A way highly offensive to those living near
him. lie has abused his old father, who
lives with him, in a beastly manner; has
threatened and quarreled with his neigh-
bors on the slightest preteNt or none at all.
The limit of endurance having been
reached the people of the community sem
him a note to leave at once or suffer the
consequences, II signed the warning,
"Whitecaps." Instead of taking the kindly
advice Barney rode around the country
with Il drawn revolver, threatening any
one who crossed his path.
The following night a number of ghost
like figures gathered in a convenient place.
Barney went visiting and upon his return
MS horse was suddenly surrounded and
Barney assisted to alight by the ghostly
figures. His hands and feet were pinioned,
despite his violent struggles and terrific
swearing, his clothing was removed and Il
mixture OF boiler paint, tar and crude oil
was literally applied, after which a cover
ing of feathers was put on and the now
somewhat subdued man turned loose to re-
fleet and separate himself from his snug
fitting suit. 1t is common talk in the
neighborlood that if this warning is not
sufficient that the committee will carry Il
rope OH their next visit.

DEADLY CATTLE DISEASE.
Owners of Herds in the Vicinity of
PukWana Suffer.

y peculiar and deadly disease has re-
Gently broken out in the cattle herds neal
Pukwana. During the last two weeks j.
Il. Sanborn of the Carpenter ranch has lost
twenty-eight head and other herds have
suffered TO n less extent. The loss has
been principally of COWS with sucking
calves at their sides, the mother dying
without in any way affecting the offspring.
Walking. eating and apparently in the best
of health, the animal will be suddenly att
tackled and usually does not live to exceed
ten minutes.
Drs. Henry Shipley of Sheldon, Iowa,
one OF the Iowa state veterinarians, and S.
NJ. Saith, IL veterinarian of Mitchell, have
visited the affected district and made eN-
aminations to determine the nature of the
disease. Without Il chemical analysis they
could not determine TO a certainty, but
from what examination they could make
they say there are symptoms of blacklegg,
splenetic fever and poisoning. The stom-
ach and other digestive organs of one of
the dead ANIMALS have been sent to Chicago
for analysis.

Dents for the Table.

Certain books of printed In
England more than two centuries ago.
enjoined various rules upon young chill.
dren, and we may be sure that the
youthful American colonist also read
and digcsted such sapient hints. One
little manual of etiquette, widely circu-
lated among our forbears, shows some
things which the child was trained not
to do.
Never sit down Mt the table till asked,

WOOL CLIP is ENORMOUS.
Black Hills Yield Is Placed at SIX
Hundred Thousand Pounds.

The wool clip of the Black Hills for the
past season has been jerome
w. Higbie of Deadwood, one of the larg-
est wool growers in the west, places his
estimate at 60O,0 0 pounds for the season
just passed. AT the last wool sale held in
Belle Fourchc, one of the largest wool
markets IN the northwest, many millions
of dollars of capital was represented by
the leading sheep growers of the Black
Hills country. At Belle Fourche shere are
stu 10000 pounds of wool awaiting prices
such as will suit the owners.
So far this season 10000 pounds of wool
has been marketed at Chamberlain from
the western range. The price paid ranged
between II IL IL cents per pound. There
will still he a number of modeyate ship
ments, but the bulk of the wool is now ON
the market. The recent slump in the value
of sheep has brought the shipment of sheep
to the eastern markets to u practical
Standstill.
