SANToS-DUMoNT IN TROUBLE.
Someone SIashed the Bag Of His Air
ship With Knife.

st. Louis, June 2S.-World's Fair
Grounds.-Some time during the night
the gas bag OF Santos-Dumont's air
ship was cut and slashed in such a
manner as to preclude all possibility
of its being repaired to allow an as
cension on July A.
The work was apparently done with
jackknife. There are at least twenty
long rips in the bag, and Prof. Carl
Meyers, who has charge of the aero.
nautic contests, declares that it will
take at least two weeks to repair the
damage.
Secretary Walter B. Stevens of the
Louisiana Exposition company was
asked what action would be taken by
the exposition company, and he replied
that 1t was too soon after the damage
to have any definite plans made, but
as soon as the fair officials could con-
suit, proper measures would be taken
to apprehend the vandal
When the damage was done the shed
that sheltered the gas bag was patroled
by Jefferson guard and a special watch
man, who was one of NJ. Dumont's EN-
ployes. Neither saw anything of the van
dial and the damages was not discovered
until the workmen were to take the bag
from the box.

CRY LIKE WILDCATS.
Summer Boarders Lost in Mountalns
Scream for Aid. So


Special to the New York World
Middetown. N. Y.-Residents In the VIC
Unity Of Hunts Mountain, near Sher-
bourne. who have been cunning for sup
posed wild cats and panthers. now learn
that the noises were caused by summer
boarders who had lost their way on the
mountain. $50
William Brand, driver for James Jep-
son, took a party of summer boarders
to the top of the mountain and hitching
his horses in a shady nook, proceeded to
take a nap under a tree while the mem
bers of his party wandered Off
The guests went further than they sup
posed and were unable to find their way
back to the wagon. Brand after a sleep
of three hours, awoke and attempted to
find his passengers, without success. The
lost party tramped miles through the
woods before they reached the hotel, to
find that Brand had already arrived there
in an. excited state of mind
The. screams made by the summer guests
were mistaken for those of wild beasts
and residents of the section organized a
hunting party to rid the region of the
dangerous animals.

TEXAS STEERS.
Long-Horned, Fierce Variety of Cattle
Has Almost Disappeared.

From the Kansas City Journal.
There was a time when the Texas
steer" breed of cattle covered the graz
ing grounds of the southwest. They were
the descendants of the long horned cat
tie which the early Spanish explorers and
adventures brought from their homes
across the seas. Hundreds of thousands
of them ranged the unfenced pastures,
rendering little more than a small trib-
or beef to the Indian. Finally, the cow
boy came into existence, and these wild
denizens of the plains were dragged
from their high estate and became the
subjects of sordid commerce. These cat
tie were rough in appearance, and usually
brown. dun and black in color. there
being no deep reos and roans. Their
horns, however, were tne:r really dis
tinguishjngN feature. These were certain
ly immense often from four to FIVE feet
across from tip to tip. They were nat
urally wild brutes. Some of them could
never be rounded up, but had to be shot
in order that the others might be got
under some kind of control There were in
every herd a few fighters which the cow
boys called ''moss-heads." They would
fight viciously among themselves or with
the other cattle and would frequently
gore the horses of the cowboys to death.
The long horns have now practically
all disappeared. Their place has been
taken by graded and Thoroughbred cattle
of much larger size ana value.
