River.

Pierre, May 27.-An outlaw"
steer, a menace not only to the home
steader If he is out on the prairie at
his work, but to the traveller in the
vicinity of Elben, is the complaint of
residents of that section. The steer
Is a stray from the Diamond A range
north of Cheyenne river, and since
he has drifted into the part of Haa-
kon county, where he holds sway he
has made life miserable for farmers
and r%anchers, not hesitating to
charge a team If its appearance does
not suit his fancy. Complaint has
been made to the company which
owns the animal, and twice they
have SEN a range rider to gather In
the outlaw, but without any success.
and now the residents of that section
are demanding that they be rid OF
the menace to not only their peace
but to lives of those who do not
know of conditions and may find
themselves away from shelter at any
time, the county commissioners hav-
ing taken up the issue and making
a formal demand on the company &c

STRIKING PARALLELS IN
DEATHS ON LUSlTANiA
AND TITANIC.

Some striking parallels suggest
themselves In a comparison OF
the death rolls of the Lusitania
and the Titanic disasters.
John Jacob Astor was the most
conspicuous American lost on the
Titanic, as Alfred Gwynne Van
derbilt was on the Lusitania.
Each inherited a great fortune,
each was a dominant figure in
the social life of New York, each
died In gallant self sacrifice.
Henry b. Harris was a notable
figure In the theatrical world
when the Titanic ended his ca
reer. Charles Frohman when
the Lusitania went down was
perhaps the most distinguished
figure in the managerial world.
Jacques Futrelle vas In the full
flower of his fame as a writer
when be became a passenger on
the Titanic. Justus Miles For
man had come to a like period
when be went on the Lusitania.
William Il. Stead was an emil
nent figure among English jour
nalists when he died on the II
tanic. Ebert Hubbard. who died
on the Lusitania. was at least as
well known among American
journalists.
