It was q good job for the girls that they happened to be out when the jokers called. for it is safe to state that they meant business and would not have made any bones about handling them in the same manner they treated Mir Lawrencelle at the Platt Mill Go.

A BLOW TO CATTLEMEN.
The Order Prohibiting Importation o1
 Cattle Into Cherokee Nation.

Fort Worth, Tex, March 27.-The or der issued by United States Revenue Inspector Cobb at Vinita, I. T., which prevents the importation of Texas cat tie into the Cherokee nation, will be a severe blow to many cattlemen of this state, who have already arranged to take thousands of cattle into that na- tion for grazing. It is estimated that more than half million head were to go to that country beginning next month. The Santa Fe was to handle nearly 100000 head alone.
 The stockmen of Texas will be heavy losers because of this ruling, as it will necessitate their taking cattle to other pastures provided they can be had. which is mooted question, as most available lease lands already have been taken.
