of fine young cattle belonging to him
dead from a lightning stroke. The
cattle had been missing from the
range since Sunday week when they
were last seen by Mr.. McAllister, and
1t is presumed, the storm of that night
was responsible for their death. When
found the cattle were all mutilated
from wolves or other wild animals
and even their hides were a loss. 1t
is estimated that a fair average price
would be $780, 90 each or the total loss
would be $500.-Piedmont Banner.
The announcement of Mr.. Joseph
Selinger of Crane Pond as a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
Sheriff of Iron county will be found
in the announcement column of the
REGISTER. Mr.. Selinger needs no
introduction to the people of Iron
county. About all the days of his life
have been spent here and he is
universally known and recognized as
one of our best citizens in every sense
of the word. Should he be success
full in his ambition to be Sheriff there
is no doubt but that he would at all
times be found discharging the duties
of the Office to the very best of his
ability.

the docket for several terms during
which time Cantrell has also teen

jury long to make its decision. Cam
trell was represented by Jos. G..
Williams of st. Louis who filed a mo-
ton for a new trial." Is
