time that it would be impossible to
single out a man who wished to put
real bullet or slug of some kind in his
gun. Realizing this, some of the in
dams and Mexicans sought to take adj
vantage of the situation.
Previous trouble had existed between
the whites and reds at the ranch and
manager Bernstein had taken extra
precautions in preventing bullets Of
any description entering the camp
However the old fashioned guns. hav-
ing a large bore, that are most used,
permitted most any kind of a slug be-
ing rammed down them.
As a result Of all this manager Bern
stein has been forced to attend all the
work outs where there is fighting be-
tween his forces. Even this action has
failed to bring the exact results de-
sired. and so, in order to solve the
deadly problem, he has employed p
stalwart men. who are well acquainted
with the tactics of indian warfare and
modes of indian life. Disguised, they
will be scattered among the real in
dians TO keep an eye on their move
ments during such time that a Mex
lean might find it easy to settle a per-
SOnal score.

prediction that such q condition will
De brought about within 20 years is
partly based upon tests taken during

hours at the busiest points on five of

only 1885 that were horse-puIIed
That on Fifth avenue the horse
Yehlcles were only one in FIVE. while on
