Strangest Of all equine bands, the

alton, The ranchmen of Southern
Utah, Western Nevada and a strip OF
Arizona have passed sentence on this
remarkable aggregation Of one hun
dred wild horses that for seven years
have Knocked every effort at capture.
The stockmen of the border country
engaged a few weeks ago In a wild
horse hunt-a raid on the wild mus.
tangs that have become a pest Of the
range. Many animals were killed, but
the white PAGERS" were not met.
Even If the opportunity had present
ed itself no attempt to kill them would
have been made.
The ranchmen have for years cher.
ished the hope Of some day capturing
some Of the beautiful animals, and so
none have ever been shot, Individual
attempts to take them, however, have
always failed, and now an organized
and determined effort Is in project,
Plans have been made with a full
knowledge of the habits Of the quarry
and the nature Of the country, and
it is hoped that a dozea or more of
the coveted eQuines will be taken. If
necessary, several Of the horses will
be killed to make the work Of cap.

A strange feature is that the ami

have they been known to break into
a run, and then only for a short dis.

swift stride that appears to be their
natural gait. The ranchmen believe
that some of these animals can be
trained to become great racehorses,

lion has led his followers in wild dash
es over the hills when pursued by the
ranchers, and the pace was so rapid
that the hunters were soon compelled
to desist. These horses are reported
to be ranging along the Colorado Riv-
er. In the summer they come up into
Utah.
1t is planned to effect their capture
by having several parties act in con-
cert and drive the horses into a trap

he did about driving horses took his

Wanted to Grow Tall.

william Hart of Selma, Ind, a stu
dent in the divinity school at Chicago,
has been growing tall so fast, after
taking a patent medicine for increas-
ing height, that he fears that he will
never be able TO stop. He has sought
an attorney to see whether he has le-
gal redress against the company that
furnished him the medicine.
Hart, who is 20 years old, thought
that a preacher should have q COM
manding presence. So when he saw
an advertisement telling how anybody
can grow taller by the expenditure Of
a small amount he lost no time in fol-
lowing instructions.
When he went to Chicago in Sep
TENDER, he measured five feet four
inches. A month later he measured
five feet six inches. At five feet eight
inches he began to fear for the Conse-
quences, but concluded to see II he
could not stop growing Of his own ac-
cord. When he found himself five feet
eleven inches in height and all bis
clothing misfits, he consulted physi-
clans, but they could do nothing for
him. He has had long interview with
an attorney, who has undertaken to
compel the medicine firm TO stop Hart
from growing.
why, at this rate I'll be eight feet
tall before I'm q. and I'll have TO stay
up nights to watch myself grow" Hart
remarked.
The attorney is not sure that there
are grounds for suit against the COM
pany that furnished the medicine, but
will look over the law books for a pre-
cedent.--New York Herald.
