WILLIAM CHEATHAM.

On yesterday afternoon tele gram from Eugene M. Cheathan of San Angelo, Texas, brought the sad news of the death of his son, William, young man in his sixteenth year and native of this place. He was exceptionally bright, studious and industrious and his friends and relatives were justly proud of him, and are greatly grieved to learn of his demise.
 His mother, Mrs. Norvelle White Cheatham, was the daugh- ter of our respected fellow towns man, Capt. w. R. White, and she died here in 1896, when William was only two years old. The father at the time of the death of his mother was engaged in busi ness here, but about year later sold out and moved to Texas where he has since resided.
 The young man will be buried by the side of his mother in De Ann cemetery on Wednesday next from the Presbyterian church.

THE BARRIERS.
Colorado Artists Set Good Example

Colorado Artists Set Good Example
For Nebraska Brethren.
On Sunday, June S, the State Asso-
citation Of BARRIERS of Colorado will
meet at Denver to perfect state or
ganization. Representatives from
every local of the Journeyman Bar
bers' International Union in the state
will be present. The object is two
fold-it will look after social matters
and will also look after the securing
of some needed laws protecting the
trade and its followers in the Gen.
tennial state. It is also expected that
the association will be able to organ
lie a number of towns that now have
no locals.
This is an example that could be
profitably followed by the BARRIERS of
Nebraska. The trade is organized in
Lincoln South Omaha, Fremont aid
partly in Omaha. Columbus, Kearney,
Grand Island, Beatrice, North Platte,
McCook, F'airbury, and several other
towns ought to have strong locals.
A state association would be a ma
terial help in this work.
The Lincoln local met in regular
semi-monthly session last Wednesday
night with the usual IS or SO per cent
of attendance. The assertion is vol
unteered that the BARRIERS Union has
a larger percentage of it's membership
present at every regular meeting than
any other union in the city. This may
explain in part the splendid progress
the organized men have been able 10
make within the last year.

To hurry matters little picked up
a switch and tapped the RATHER over

now, keeping my eyes open for deer.
And, sure enough. not long before sun
set l ran into two does and a fine buck.
They were standing in group in easy
range, right in little gully.
Up came the 1910 Winchester to my
shoulder. l drew a fine bead on the
buck and pulled the trigger. puff
of dirt flew up into the air from the
bank just behind my buck, who lit out
up the hill l could hear him crashing
through the thickets The two does
tore off into the brush and disap-
peared.
For a moment stood there the most
disappointed boy In the world. I had
been cocksure of dropping my game,
and all l had done was to raise the
dust beyond him. l followed his trail
for little way in the dusk. then gave
it up. He was badly scared at least,
and there wasn't chance that he'd
stop running for miles.

buck. Well go out in the morning
and get him"

but early next morning my brother

we got near the place where I had

but a cloud of feathers floating in the

and the whirling bullet took him end
on. All found was his hide and his
ears and hind legs.
One fine day road runner went
along the smooth trail ahead of me
like a Splinter until he disappeared,
and l looked around to see if he had
built in a rattlesnake anywhere.
Often in the desert or the mountain
valleys l have found traces of road
runners work. A road runner is a
long legged bird. He likes smooth
ground where he can take long run

those bony legs fly is sight A road
runners chief business is killing rattle
snakes When he finds one asleep he
gathers a lot of cactus thorns Then
he builds a circle of thorns all around
the snake lying there asleep in its coil,
turns all the points carefully in to-
ward the center. steps back little and
begins to make a racket. The snake
wakes up, sees the road runner, looks
the hedge all over, finds that he can't
get through it anywhere and makes up
his mind 20 die on the spot. He strikes
himself with his own fangs, and in a
few minutes it's all over for the snake.
Then the road runner squawks a cou-
pie Of times. clears away the cactus
thorns and has a RATHER for lunch.
This particular bird had disappeared.
But as luck would have it l happened
to find his victim out in the middle of
clear patch of sand. The snake had
just awakened, l guess, for he was
twisting and crawling slowly around
and around inside the hedge. Now and
then he'd lift his head high and start
to slide across, but as soon as his neck
touched the thorns he'd draw back

to show he hadn't forgotten telling me
to work in the field. but then he'd
