MUSTANGS Disappearing.

The mustang hunt in northeastern Ari-
zona a few days ago was probably the
last to be held in the Territory, and per-
haps in all the West. While once the
wild horses roamed in countless herds
over the plains and among the foothills
of the Rocky Mountains, they can be
found in few localities now.
Forty years ago they were scarcely CON
sidered worth the trouble of catching.
Later thousands were shipped TO the East,
where they were known as Indian ponies
and were sold at prices ranging from 50
to $50. About 10 years ago Col. Ed. Red
mond held q great roundup of mustangs
in eastern New Mexico and western Texas
and gathered in more than 5000 horses.
He cleared $4,000 on his roundup, and
tried the same thing several times after
ward in Utah, Texas and Wyoming, but
never with results so profitable.
In early days so vast were the ranges
at the disposal of the cattle kings that
the grazing of the wild horses never ma
terially interfered with the cattle. In the
last quarter of a century the growth of
the cattle business and the utilization OF
the public lands have done away with the
immense ranges of the cattle king days
and the mustang has become a nuisance
He used the limited range feed at the ex,
penSe of the cattle men until he grew tC
be considered an outlaw and n thief. and
then he was shot by th2 cowboys when
ever possible.
In many instances mustangs mixed
with the ranch herds and eventually be
came COW horses, their stamina, speed
and strength usually making up for de
fciency in size.

him who shall have borne the battle. and

Admiral Sampson and the Public.
(The Worlds Work }

Admiral Sampson has been badly treat
ed outside of the service. which under
stands him and trusts him. After the
campaign in Cuba it would have been
basely unjust on the part of the Presi-
dent not to give him the proper reward
of his services. The public has been
stampeded into an hysterical attitude by
that section of the press which was on
the alert to get the earliest news Of the
war, even at the expense of bctraying his
plans and movements to the enemy, and
the recommendation of President Mckin
ley and the Navy Department has been
treated as conspiracy. Certain foolish
politicians have contributed to the perpe
tratiOn of an act of cruel ingratitude. Nc
man ever represented better type OF
American citizen. He has the calmness
modesty and self-poise most characteristic
of Grant, Farragut and other great men
who have borne arms for the Nation, and
no man could exhibit in his daily life Il
more unassuming conduct.

Indian Summer Abolished.
.E-,n,n,r ANT,..,n.,,,

Residents of the West generally who
labor under the belief that the present
delightful state of the weather is due to
the Indian Summer are greatly mistaken,
according to the Weather Bureau man.
There is no such thing as an Indian Sum
mer, according to that wiseacre, and
neither are there such things as equinoc-
tial storms.
In place of Indian Summers the Wealth
er Bureau would have the public generally
believe in such things as September and
October dips" ''reactionary storm per-
iods,' and things of that sort. I'VE can
prove from the records said DR.. Schaef-
or, that there is no such thing as an
Indian Summer, and also that there are
no equinoctial storms" The public, how
ever, is not likely to give up the Indian
Summer theory, and is quite well satisfied
with this sort of weather. whatever it
may be called.

clearly shown. oI

Subscriber, New Hampshire-See reply
to A. S. c., above.
w. X. c.. Ann Arbor, Mich.-If you
examine the acts of June %, 1880, and
Nav Q. 1900. very carefully, you will see
that they apply only 10 service during
the late war of the rebellion and nave
no reference to service to any other time.

i. C. S, Cory, Pa.-1t is not necessary
that a widow be able TO state in her ap-
plicarion for pension when and where the
soldier enlisted, nor is it necessary that
she have in her possession his discharge

continue the disinfection of vessels from
Uruguay and other parts OIL South America
where 1t is suspected that the bubonic
plague exists, as there is a danger of the
disease getting a foothold here unless the
greatest care is taken. Most Of the vessels
that arrived here from South American
ports are small craft, loaded with dried
beef. Their cargoes are discharged imme-
diately on lighters. after which the vessels
are sealed and fumigated in order to kill
the rats. which .nfest them.
Numerous complaints have been made by
ship owners because of the refusal of the
authorities to allow the vessels to come
alongside the docks and remain there until
the cargoes are sold, an operation some
times requiring a week or two.
