rushed forward to help her up, quite
unconscious then that the shot that

that the woman had intercepted it. He
had q dim idea, too, that he saw

STOLE SOME CATTLE
Whole Bunch of Steers Taken
from Santa Fe Yards
FOUND NEXT MORNING
Attempt Was Made 10 Drive
Them to Indian Pasture.

Arkansas City, Kan, May 26.-Last
wholesale cattle stealing was attempted
at the Santa F'e stock yards, says the
Traveller a car load of southern cattle
was .unloaded into the quarantine pens
about o'clock Some time during the
early part of the evening one Of the gates
was broken open and the cattle driven
out and away They were driven through
the Arkansas river near the railroad
bridge and out on the south side. In the
morning when the absence OF the cattle
was noted a search was Immediately in
augurated and two of the cattle found in
the neighborhood. The rest of the herd
numbering 32 head was tracked some
distance south of the river and lost in
the woods.
Horses tracks were plainly seen mixed
with the cattle tracks The Santa Fe
officer. John Moore, with a force of men
went after them and spent the morning
riding over Bolton township. They found
nineteen of them one mile west of Mer--
Ger school house and brought them back
to the city.
The remaining cattle were not located
IL the morning and the searchers went
out after them in the afternoon. 1t was
reported that a few of them were seen
near the state line. 1t is believed that
there was an attempt made to steal the
whole herd and run it over the line into
some of the Kaw pastures, but that the
thieves found the cattle were not in a
very good shape and picked out the
strongest ones to take with them, then
stampeded the rest TO the west for the
purpose of throwing the officers off the
track.
John NcFaH, state cattle inspector, is
on hand and Will order all the land known
To have been traversed by the southern
cattle under quarantine for the protection
OF the native herds This will cause con-
siderable trouble for the county.
