The Eagle that Gus Stevener sus.
tanned a very serious accident Satur-
day afternoon. He and his son, Henry,
had been to town and We're returning
home about 4:30 o'clock with a load
of cottonseed hulls. The boy was driv-
ing and his father was sitting on a
spring seat back about the middle OF
the wagon. One of the wheels dropped
into deep rut, causing one end of
the seat to drop off the side Of the
wagon and pitching Mr. Stevener on
his head He fell directly between the
wheels and the back wheel passed
over the side of his head and under
his chin, cutting great cash in his
throat which was as smooth as if
done with a knife. The boy saw his
father just as he struck the ground
and thought he was killed by the
wheel. He was taken on home and
given medical attention at once, and
while it was indeed close call, he Is
doing as well as could be expected.

BIC HUNT ON
TEXAS PLAINS
Capt A. T. Wilson and Party Enjoyed
Wild Chase After Antelope

Capt. A. F. Wilson, of this city, out
lined to an Eagle representative this
morning the details OF a most enjoy
able hunt he took a short time age
with party of friends on the Texas
Iplains.
He and Mr.. Sam Adams, of Hearne
went to Dallas, where they were
Joined by Messrs Rash Adams and
Royal Ferris, Jr., and proceeded to
Big Springs, Howard county. Here
they met Mr.. R. L. Slaughter and pro-
ceeded in an automobile to the great
Slaughter ranch, where they spent the
night The entertainment they re-
ceived here was most royal in every
respect, and the party was convinced
that of all the places of interest in
Texas, there is none more interesting
than this great ranch
From here the party went by auto
mobile to the Slaughter cattle ranch,
fifty miles further on, to hunt lobo
wolves. They were fully equipped for
this fine sport and had with them a
pack of thirty of as fine wolf hound,
as are to be found in Texas. There
were plenty of wolves there, but the
ground was so very dry the dogs ex-
perienced great difficulty in keeping
the trail After several minor chases
which were very enjoyable, a fresh
lobo trail was struck and the thirty
hounds bounded forth under full cry,
1t was a glorious spectacle and one
not soon to be forgotten. The bound

the distance and the deep-mouthed
baying of the hounds, which in the
light and vibrant atmosphere of the
western prairies seemed to fill the
whole heavens and earth. The chase
continued for thirteen miles when the
exhausted lobo was finally rounded up
and a period put to his earthly career.
His scalp was taken as trophy Of
the chase.
After the wolf chase ended Captain
Wilson and Messrs. Slaughter, Rash,
Adams and Ferris went further on to-
ward the plains, driving $4,000
Pierce-Arrow, to hunt antelope. After
a ride of three or four hours, by means
of Captain Wilson's field glasses,
herd of eight was discovered four
miles away. By careful maneuvering
the party wound around clumps of
bushes and along ravines until they
got up within about eight hundred
yards of the prairie beauties when
they were discovered and the ante

days. This situation, combined with
favorable cables, good English spot
sales and prospects for very bullish
week in the wake Of the triple holiday
served to buoy trading and robbed the
market of the threatening lethargy.
The reason for the strength of cot

mand for the new crop months, was
easily seen in the continued unsettled
weather in the South. Fluctuations In
the active months were over a narrow
range.
