Yesterday. The republican nominee. after
his long and busy day in the excessive
heat of Monday. went to bed that night
hot and tired. He awoke next morning to
find no relief from the heat and still
buster day ahead of him. But with the
enthusiasm of his college days as an in

prepared for him and last night finished
in far better condition than most of the
men who had been at his side all day.
His first important public appearance
was at the memorial exercises at Wood

the flagstaff erected in honor of Augustus

in military service i'm the Philippines. The

with moisture. While speaking Mr.. Taft
stood hatless. He referred to the l-edyard
memorial as a testimonial To Yale cour-
age and Yale patriotism The war with
Spain he called a war the motive OF which

Deep silence followed. and DIR. Hadley,
after suppressing the red-faced one with

WILD HORSES.

Wud 0olbeb W
overrunnir~ the national forests OF 'ns
.tate Of Nevada and the n~sishoorins
s,otss and the authorities at Wsshing'
TON are bssiegsd with petitions from
stoenmep and farmers begging them
- nm, q stop to the depredations OF the
animals. A recent dispatch from Reno
conveyed the information h a 'nere
ava q of the untamed beasts upon
the Toiyabe, Moquina ana oIaan
forest reserves in Lincoln county oo1o'
and that orders from Washington navo
been received by the forest omciais
20 at once begin a war OF extermina-
ZION unon them. This ~dispatch, al
,bonob twisted as to the facts, does
not exaggerate the number OF norses
now sunnosed to be roaming at large
IN the districts mentioned. AS q mat
for of truth there are in all proDaoh-
;tv a good many more than hlteen
thousand wild horses in Nevada n
the ~neighboring states n every neau
is a pest to theowners OF vegetation
and domestic stock.
The mart of the telegram from Keno
is hat relating to the orderst from
washington. Neither the forest ran
gers or any other employees OF the Tor
GOT service have been instructed to
DESTROY the horses, and unless they do
receive such orders they will confinc
their efforts to fencing crops from
the t~respassing animals or rounding
them in when they appear ana
threaten damage to the growing crops.
Indeed, if half of the stories when
have been brought to the capital were
true all Of the rangers in the employ
of the United States would have little
chance of destroying the big herds
that are now roaming over the western
states
Within the last few years they have
increased to such an extent in a rev
communities that every mans rifle IL
turned against them. No fence IL
strong enough to stop these horses and
when they appear in Iorce they have
been known to knock dow and XII
cows and calves. After each visitation
of the herd the farmer is liable to IN
eur the loss of some of his domestic
horses and it only requires a few days
association with the wild animals to
make them as wild as their nomadic
companions.
A study of the wild horse problem
brings to light many interesting facts
in regard to the animals. The legis
lature of Nevada, it seems, passed Q
law many years ago specifically allow
mig hunters to shoot wild horses anc
to sell the hides for what they .coult
get in the market. The law opened
the way for a new and unusual indus
try, and many men found the killing
of wild horses very profitable. BE
sides the work was exciting and give
the business an added zest of bein.
sport.
AS time went by and the killing OF
these "outlaws,' Gas the wild horses
are often termed) on the ranges as
sumed greater and greater proper
tons, and stockmen found that in many
instances the hunters were abusing theiI
privileges and were killing branded
and shod horses. This put an end t,
the business, and on complaint of til,
stoekmen, the Legislature of Nevada
promptly repealed the law. II is es
timated that $4,000 animals were kill
ed during the time that the law wa.
in force. These figures gives the basi,
for the story of last week.
