L'apt. Lee agent of the cheyennes and
Arapahoes reports a general move from

sidered so injurious to owners as was first
supposed although the cutting oft' of the
pasturage must necessarily ailecfc the
range cattle business.
A herd of cattle belonging to W. T.
Hudson in the Territory ami bound north

dressed the wounded limb and the patient

"A hop was given by the ofliccrs at the
school house on Friday evening which
was in every way a pleasant party. The
hall was decorated for the occasion the
most attractive ornament being a cartoon
drawn on the black-board with the mono-
gram "C. 11. C." under it. After a few
modifications the ladies pronounced the
drawing a fair likeness of its author. A
few friends from the Agency consisting
of Capt. Agent Lee Mrs. Council Miss
( onnell and Messrs. Hemphill DeBra and
Merritt were present and all very much
enjoyed the party.
Ben Clarke the famous interpreter
scout and guide came in laat week oft" a
month's detached service lie guided the
troops that went to look after the cattle-
men iind says traveling on the back of a
pac -mule is ileasant duty after getting
used to it. Ben said to the writer that
the mule he rode is a queer brute and
gave us a brief description of its niami-
vcrings during the thirty days he stnd-
ed it. Ben says he (the jack) is little all
over except his ears and voice; has hair
all over his bodv four legs two big cars
and one tail. With the guide on his back
he would start oil with a low sweet gurg
ling ohy-he-ohe he-o-h-e-haw keeping up
this music till Ben would tremble for his
life and just every time he would think
the brute was about to cease he disap-
points his lider's fond expectation by
turning on a little more sound reversing
his voice and retracting all he had just
pealed forth. Often Ben was moved to
tears as he listened to the sweet melan-
choly cadence rendered by his faithful
consoling jack because of having no
club or battering-ram with which to show
his appreciation of the music ! Ben also
says that his jack cannot sing well with-
out elevating his caudle appendage and
as his vocal organs limber up his tail as-
cends to a horizontal line and from the
tip of his nose to the tail lie is one con-
tinuous wave of sound which elevates the
rider high in the air. Ben is firm in the
belief that the vocal solos rendered by his
jack while on that trip was an experience
imxcv to be forgotten. Wc should smile.
The Ciikvknnk TiiAXsroimsH publish-
ed at Darlington I. T has finished its
sixth volume and starts in on the seventh
in a prosperous condition. Wo have
watehed the career of the TiiANS'tWTEit
with a good deal of interest. When we
first visited the ollice nearly siy years ago
wo found it in the loft of a saw-mill where
the editor Eaton was working oil the
issue on a toy press which probably cost
$20. The paper was little and had not
much financial backing but we admired
the pluck of a man who would undertake
to run a paper in the wilds of the Indian
Territory at a time when there was posit-
ive danger of having his hair lifted at
any moment. The Traxsi'Outisk has got
iato better quarters now and looks richer
all of which we aie trulyglad of. The
TitANM'Qin kh boys haven't had a rich
field to work but they have worked it
well. Medicine Lodge -K'lns ' res-et.
