Real Cowboy.

ator Gordon received q present from
his son, Robert, Of ; regular cowboy
saddle, upon which was coiled a lariat.
Sunday last one of the colonel's herd
got out of the pasture and was round
ing up the neighbOrhoOd. Colonel
Gordon saddled his horse and gave
chase. Though he had never used a
lariat in ell Of his seventy.nine years
of life, when he caught up with the
beast the temptation was too strong
to resist and he swung it around, loop
ing the bull over the horns and one
fore foot, throwing him to the ground.
The colonel jumped down and had the
animal securely tied before he could

The Uses and Abuses of a Quar-
antine.

|
Apropos of the stringent quarantine
thot has been established against New
Orleans, the Houston (Texas) Chron-
icle has the following to say:
1.-THE placing of q general quaran-
tine against New Orleans on account
of q few cases of fever In that city may
be the best method Of handling the
situation, but, If so, it indicates that
the medical profession has made little
progress as far as this particular dis
ease lie concerned.
tit is catering to and aggravating
the fears on the part of the public and
lie an interference with travel and traf-
hc that lie unfortunate. to say the least.
"It lie q reflection on the progress Of
mediciue and science, and is a SEEM
ing admission that with all our modern
methods Of isolating disease and pre-
venting contagion, we are really no
farther advanced than we we're many
years ago when yellow fever was really
to be feared.
"The Chronicle ventures the asser-
ton that even admitting there are sew
eral cases of yellow fever in New Or
leans, there will not be one;tenth as
many deaths therefrom as there have
been from sunstroke and heat in CHI
oago during the past few weeks.
SIT is 3 pity that the commerce Of 9
great city should he thus interfered
with and that the public should be
thrown into 8 panic simply because Of
disease that the experts agree car
only be spread by q certain brand o.
mosquito. It is 3 seeming admission
that despite this discovery the medi'
cal profession is still unable TO cope
with thu disease except by throwing Z
wall around the city where the casei
exist.
"The present quarantine and panic
will do great harm to the south as
whole. It advertises this section L
the world as plague-strickens an'

A Bad Runaway.

Two people are seriously injured
and several badly bruised as result
of a runaway Saturday afternoon.
The accident occurred on the Fairy
lake road just inside of town. The
team of James Coyle, in some un-
accountable way, broke loose from the
wagon and started down the grade
near the bridge and ran into the
carriage of George Grundman with
such force that the carriage was COM
pletely demolished and all the oc-
cupants were thrown forcibly against
the steel bridge. Mrs. George
Grundman was seriously injured and
is under physicians care here.
MIR. Coyle was badly hurt, receiving
several cuts about the head, and Mr..
Grundman and children were we'll
shaken up and badly bruised.

A Distressing Accident.

Ellsworth, the two-year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Lohse, came very
near losing his life on Wednesday
morning. The little fellow got out of
bed early and in some manner
succeeded in getting bottle of
carbolic acid, which had been left on
table, and drank some of the con-
tents. His screams aroused his father
who was sleeping at the time; his
mother who was busy in the kitchen,
came to his assistance. Home rem
edies were applied and physician
sent for.
The child was terribly burned, his
mouth and throat were b1istered
frightfully. In getting the bottle he
upset some of the acid on his feet
which were also badly burned. The
prompt arrival OF the doctor saved the
child's life.
