CRAVING FOR WATER;
STEERS LEAP PRECIPICE

]. J. Seipp motored to St. Paul a
week ago, where he purchased five
carloads of cattle. They arrived in
Cassville last Tuesday and Al. Phil
lip and j. J. started to drive the cat
tie out to the Joe Wright pasture.
They proceeded very nicely until they
crossed the Rattlesnake bridge near
the Mckenzie mill. Here the cattle
decided they wanted something to
drink so they turned around abruptly
and 10 of them walked right off the
precipice above the bridge, drop Of
at least 40 feet. 1t is wonder they
weren't all killed, but fortunately
only one was seriously inju7ed-a
three-year-old steer had his thigh put
out of joint The steer can rise and
stand on three legs, but cannot move
around any to speak of, although it
is thought he will get better.-Garden

BARGE FLIES INFEsT CAssvILLE

A swarm Of barge flies, attracted
from the river by the street lights
paid our village an unexpected visit
last Friday night about nine o'clock.
They encircled the arc lights by the
millions. A kerosene-soaker piece OF
burlap swassset fire and placed in the
street beneath them, and the silly
things hoped from the frying pan
into the fire. They were heaped up
foot high and there must have been
several bushels of them. The street
commissioner removed them the next
day. On Monday evening they again
started to put in their appearance but
the street lights we're turned OF and
they soon disappeared.-Record
