LAST SURVIVOR

BIT THE. DUST

The horns of what is said to be the
last Ionghorn steer in Baca county
Colorado, il not in the great south
west, have been on display at the
Palace of Sweets at Dodge city, says
the Globe. and connected to them is
an interesting story of Baca county
before it was the agricultural com
munity it now is. The horns arc the
property OF Ralph Murphy of Topeka,
who was in Dodge City on his way
home from Baca county.
About ten years ago a number of
lonGhorn cattle belonging to the j. j.
Cattle company, at that time one OF
tho big cattle concerns in Baca coun-
ty, broke away from the main herd
and made for the hills, wherc they
soon became wild and approach was
impossible. They remained away from
the big herd and were seen only oC-
casionally when severe weather and
short feed forced them down from the
hills, and at such times few Of the
cattle were caught
However, three of tho cattle. "A COW

soon begun.

VINO thought the capture OF this lone
