the lions sprang over the projecting
rocks the sharpshooters picked them
off, killing and wounding them as the
hunters followed close upon the chase
they were stopped frequently by a
cougar or a bear that tried to break
through the lines. The Infatuated
beasts attacked the horses and the
hunters mad many narrow escapes.
One or two were seriously injured.
Several hundred animals fell into the
canon and 1t was there that the great
slaughter took place. TIE men
worked without uttering word at
the last moment Of the roundup. They
realized that accurate aim, cool work
and steady nerves would save them
from a horrible death. for the beasts
made a struggle which was terrible
to behold.

Judge Granville Pendeton last

small bend issue of about 10000 for
the purpose of building bridges over

the most convenient points for the
people. Judge Pendleton has looked
the matter up very carefully for the
past six months. He tried hard dur.

action in that body. TIE present

Pendleton says that these bonds can
be refunded at a new issue for per

such action
He has also discovered that the
county commissioners can yet levy

limits Of the organic act A new )

AMERICAS FINANCIAL PRoMi-
NENCE.

The freedom with which Japan and
States for money when they need II
is n striking evidence of the financial
standing which this country has in
the worlds markets. OF the recent
loan of sl50.0000OO to the Japanese
government, s75.0O0.0OO was furnish
ed by the United States and an equal
amount by England All of that loan
could readily have been tioated here
When Japan, Il few days ago, an.
nounced its purpose to raise another
$3.50, 100000, its original intention
was 10 get half of il from this coun-
try and The other half from her ally
England, as before. This time. how.
ever, Germany appealed to be allowed
TO furnish part of 1t, and $50, 900 900
has been allotted TO each of the three
countries. There is some politics, 1t
is to be presumed. in Japan's con
sent TO let Germany have part of the
loan. BY distributing the favor on
the continent of Europe. Japan en-.
larges the field of her financial con.
nections, and increases the number
of the friends who may be relied on
to speak IA good word for her, in their
own interest.
From present in dications, the Unit.
ed States offers for the 1000 900 of
the Japanese loan awarded to us will
amount to $250,Oo0,000 or $500. O00,.

A FRONTIER SKETCH


rrOh NHt Flelu ana tarm,
After all has been said Teddy the
Terrible has not been having very
good luck hunting game in the Colo
RADIO mountains. The fault cannot be
charged to the strenuous president
but rather TO the scarcity Of wild an.
imals all over the Rocky Mountain
West. Previously this was not So
and We remember one great roundup
which occurred on Colin Cameron
ranch at Lochiel, Arizona, several
years ago. Lions, bears, bobcats
wolves and coyotes had terrorized
and killed the young stock of the
ranch while the efforts of hunting
them had been carried on only In a
desultory manner. Finally the boys
planned roundup and placed a noted
scout named Charles Montgomery
at the head of band OF hunters, ev.
cry man of whom was dead snot
The party was divided into squads
and each little band had Its work to
do. Soldier canon was selected at the
point where the drive should end, for
1t had an abrupt barrier formed by
the great mountain range where the
animals could be trapped WITH the
least danger to hunters,
The party left Cameron's ranch
armed with ammunition and provi.
sions for campaign which would
last for several weeks. Each man
carried two Colt six shooters, three
belts, holster upon every saddle
containing rifle and knives Of vari.
Gus sizes completing the arms Of war.

gomery directed the movements OF
his men. The canon had been we'll
baited several days before the hunt
began. Mexican vaqueros had driv.
en- into the canon large number OF
calves. Colts were rudely weaned
from their mothers and placed in the
canon, and thus the choicest young
meat of the range was gathered for
the lions to feed upon. Barbados
of rocks were built on the crest of the
canon walls. where sharpshooters
We're stationed to pick of the animals
as they came into the canon to

Several days after the men had
parted in squads they were miles
apart, the outposts having ridden into
the very heart of the mountain range.

direction of Soldier canon. Every

In range of the scent of livestock the
work of the hunters became easier.
From all sides came a rush of wild

horses of the hunters reared and

The firing was rapid and effective and
the big game was picked out first
The indiscriminate mass of dashing
lions, bobcats. bears. deer, wolves,

A GOOD THING.

According to testimony taken be-
fore the state insurance commissioner
OF the affairs of the Equitable life AS
surance society. that society has been,
for number OF years past "a good
thing" to everybody carrying dupli-
cate keys to its ground-hoor doors.
Everybody with pun in politics or
finance appears to have had pull
with the Equitable A man armed
with pull and also loaded up with
stocks with which he did not care to
part at the market price could get
more than the market price from the
Equitable. People with properties
on which they desired to borrow much
more than the properties would bring
at forced sale have had only to call
on the Equitable, provided, always,
hat they were in an official or finan-
ial position to do something for the
inside management OF the Equitable
in return for the favor. Tickle us
and well tickle you would have been
all appropriate expression of the
ground-hoor management of the Equit-
able. if all of these revelations are
to be believed.
A United States senator who is
said to have been drawing, for
number of years, salary of 100000
per annlm as consulting attorney
and who mad borrowed $250,0O0 on
property said to be not worth hall OF
nat amount, has admitted that he, as
one of the executive board of the so
ciety. voted to raise the salary of Mr..
Hyde to 100000 year. and later
voted to place the salary of Mr.. AL
eAander at the same nigh figure.
What he would have done, or what
he may nave done as senator, in ex-
| change for the favors he received is
not yet developed, and perhaps never
will be He may have considered
himself capable, at any time, Of put
ting on a toga and looking at any
question coming before the senate in
| which the Equitable might have had a
vital interest. from the lofty point of
view of an incorruptible public Off
Ger He is entitled also to believe
| that. in such a case, the officers of
! tne Equitable would have continued
| their favors to him after ne had de-
clared a severance between the law
yer and the senator. Whether he
held this privilege merely as men
tai reservation or whether ne had II
denominated in the bond, it would be
very interesting to know.
Mr. Hyde, 1t appeared from the
\ same testimony, was interested in
eight different syndicates, the stocks
OF which were sold to the Equitable
at large profits to everybody in on the
ground floor The great financial
strength and solidity of the Equitable
| is clearly revealed in the fact that it
| has survived years of such misman-
agement as this. The story recalls
| that OF the man who survived long
Illness under the treatment of a no
| toriously incompetent physician
| When he regained a degree of CON
seriousness enabling MIN to under.
stand that he had lived against odds
| his only comment was: DOC, if you
! couldn't kill me, nobody can" Since
| the Equitable is still solvent, after a
| long time in the hands of wreckers, it
is not an inquest for which Mr.. Nor
| ton and his associates are TO draw
| their great salaries.-Globe-Dem
