HORSE MEETS HIS MASTER.
Satan Didn't Want to be Shod and
Gave Blacksmith Hand
Tustle.

l)cS MoineS Register and Leader.
With eyes Flashing, nostrils dis

and whiskers standing sharply on enL,
Satan, a vicious horse, gave desperate
battle with a blacksmith yesterday
afternoon. Satan determined he
would not be shod; the blacksmith
shod him single handed, but, in the
tuSsle, had his left hand Literally
crushed. Several bones were broken
and the smith suffered cxcruciating
pain.
The name Of the smith is w. II.
Brown, a former trooper ii Troop Dc
Eleventh Cavalry, vino vs. ui.>>,arg-
ed here and took up his trade with
Froman.
Satan is a bea,uty; little sorrel
weighing scarcely more than 1900
pounds, plump and full Of ginger and
fire.
Satan has always rebclled savage
ly against the iron shoe. His very
name was given him on this account.
He has never been known to let a
smith shoe him without being bound
by leather straps until he could not
move. Brown is a wiry soldier, erect
and solid.
Satan was led in by common hal
ter and tied to the ring in the side Of
the wall. With a great leather apron
about his waist, Brown took tho shoe
and approached Satan. Quick as a
flash the horse wheeled and both
feet shot into the spot where Brown IS
stomach was-but Brown was quick
cr in removing il.
Then came into paly the scientific
blacksmith s tactics, picked up in the
United States army, where bad horses
are plentiful. Advancing to Satan s
side Brown was ready for the next
spring and caught Satan sharply in
thc side with Inc point Of his elbow
a painful grunt was SaLan's reply,
and he huddlcd himself in surprise in
q corner.
The smith stopped to lift a hoof
and Satan, without moving his fore
parts, deliberately twisted himself in
a position to let fly one foot, but
Brown again escaped by springfng TO
one side; this time, however, the
smith trapped the fellow and caught
his left foot before he had the leg
stiffened. There was a struggle.
Brown again approached the horse.
and cruelty pressed down, cramping
the leg so that Satan stood still, while
the hot iron was pressed against his
hoof; then Satan's hoof was released
For the first time he took good
look at the man who dared.
When the shoe was ready to nail,
Brown aagin approached the horse.
The same tactics were adopted, ex-
cept that at the crucial moment Sa-
tan, instead Of merely twisting him
self, cnonchcd and jumped forward
as far as his halter would allow and
let fly his left foot twice so quickly
that it caught Browns hand each

SACRED CATTLE IN TEXAS
Great Hopes Entertained for Them
bY Ranchmen.

Goliad. Tex, oct. IS (SpeciaD.-The herd of
Burmese sacred cattle which Tom" O'Connor,
a prominent stockman of this region. imported
direct from India about two years ago, has
done well that these cattle Will soon be
found upon many of the ranches of Southwest
Texas. They were brought to Texas with the
special idea that they could be used to advan-
tage in improving the breeds of the native cat

representative cattlemen of the Gulf Coast

Burmese sacred cattle i'm India before the eX-
pertinent of bringing them over here tried.
a shipload Of the odd looking animals
brought over. and when they were unloaded
at the ranch of Mr.. O'Connor. near here, they
attracted the widest attention among cattle
men. They are still the objects of much Gu
riosity, and Cattlcmen come long distances TO
see them and to make personal inquiry as TO
the success Of the experiment. Mr. O'Connor
is more than satisfied with his efforts At rails
ine, the Rurmcsc sacred cattle. They seem
to be particularly well suited 10 he Texas
coast region and they have thriVed much better
than the average stock imported from other
states or even from the remote parts of Texas.
II is said TO have been fully demonstrated
that these cattle are immune from the tick
fever. This fact is of itself point suihclehtly
strong to recommend the adoption or the cal
tie upOn all of the ranches where the peculiar
malady is encountered. The claim Is made
that not only are the native Burmese cattle
the immunity 10 their offspring and that II Is
found i'm the haltbrceds as well as the thor
ouEhhrcds.
There is a hardness about the Burmese sacred
cattle that is said to fiji them peculiarly for
range life. It is believed that tHey VIII be
alle Ia withstand the sevcrcst kind Of weather
without serious losses and that they are Wei
fitted for the ranches Of the more northern por-
tjons of the state and even Of oklahoma and

The Burmese cattle are docile and domestic by

S44 A YEAR A MAN.

In these days. when the taxpayers are con-
fronted with a city budget which promises TO
be S10O00G0O larger than that of last year
every dollar Of which is required for mandatory
increases and for the requirements of the sink
ing fund, it may interest many to learn. at least
approximately, what the various corps that
make up the national guard and the naval
militia have cost and are drawing every year
from the city's revenues.
New York has always purchased the sites
and constructed the armory buildings for the
national guard in this city, Prior 10 1898 the
state furnished and paid for the cost OF main
tenancc Of the buildings. In those days the
cost of maintenance was small and the ar
the barrack rooms Of the regular army, for
small fraction Of what they cost. But I'm
that year the city undertook the work Of fur
nishing and maintaining all the national guard
cost has steadily mounted Before the consoIi-
cation Of the greater city, the national guard
armories in Brooklyn, The Bronx and Queens
were constructed jointly by the state and the
counties, and were furnished and maintained by
the state. Since consolidation the city has taken
over this duty.
The construction and furnishing Of the ar
mOTleS tor the national guard and naval mill
tia in Manhattan alone has cost the city S1O-
o24.962. The muster roll Of the various corps
thus supplied with quarters totals about 5000
men So that the cost per man has been
about SlbS. In Brooklyn since consolidation
there has been spent in building and euuipDlnl,
armories something Ike S4.39S 300 maxine, a
total Of Sl4, 423,262 spent by the city in build
ing and equipplng these buildings But this
capital expenditure, large as il is. does not hv
any means represent what the corps OF the ma
uonal guard and naval militia are costing the
city each year. Last year there was expeudcd
Tor salaries Of caretakers and cleaners $500 $50
while light, fuel. supplies and repairs cost an
Otner Sl3S.Pb as follows:
