W. A. Baton formerly editor of
fliis pnpor is now with tlio Daily
Times' at Wichita Kansas.
The 30lh of June is close at hand
und on that day Guitenu will ho
hanged. It is n lilting fate for tin;
contemptible vrlinn whoso name
is an eyesore t tin; Amenum pco-
plc and wh u;-vn the evention of

Texan cattle arc now varying about
two dollars per hundred in price on
the market. This difference togeth-
er with difference in weight between
u fat and poor steer makes a differ-
ence in the net price per head of
from $J5 to $20 .and in some Cases
as much at $00 in favor of fat cattle.
The Lincoln (Neb.) Journal says
the great want of the people there
just now is about 5000 grass Texas
cattle. The price of meat it says
has gone up till a family can live
cheaper on canned fruits and honey
than on beef mutton or pork. A
similar famine is reported in Wis-
consin and several other states.
Beef cattle appear to be unusually
scarce and high.
The rivers were all up lately and
on the loth and 16th the mails and
passengers had to bo transferred
across the river at this point in a
boat. H. A. Tood came along the
line to see things all right and re-
gardless of the dangerous f-troams
none of the mails were dclaj'ed be-
yond a few hours. The people of
the Territory arc fortunate in hav-
ing such an eilicient mail line ; and
although the boys often take desper-
ate chances yet they always bring
their passengers and mail through
safelv and on time.
We are in receipt ofaminature
copy of the edition of the J larper
Times of April 30th. The little sheet
looks natural ; and although reduc-
ed by photography to almost a mi-
croscopic size yet the work was so
finely executed that the entire sheet
could be distinctly read by one fa-
miliar with the proper names.
Home men begin to be lucky when
they are mere boys. A twelve year
old boy shot at a eat in Leadville
last week but fortunately missed
the cat and killed an in (lucntial citi-
zen who was asleep in the back
yard of a neighboring saloon. As
the inlluential citizen happened to
be a delegate from Texas who had
killed several men and of whom the
Leadville police had a holy horror
Ihe joy oi the citizens was great.
The boy received an ovation. The
mayor made a neat little speech on
presenting him with a gold mounted
revolver. As the hoy expressed a
desire to be raised for the ministry
a fund was raised to send him to a
theological institution. Nothing has
however been done for tho eat.
Texas Siftings.
Both the Indian and military
freight will be forwarded from Cald-
well this year and in consequence
the Indian freighters will "have an
opportunity to use all their wagons
in moving the freight. There are
upwards of 300 wagons an.cn j: the
Cheyennes and Arapahoe and so
eager have they been to freight that
it became necessary for Agent Miles
to call for only a portion of those
necessary as extra volunteers would
more than till the quota required.
With an opportunity to handlo the
military freight they will have a
better means of giving all the teams
more work and a cliance to earn
money.
The K. C. Price Current in speak-
ing of tho development of New Mexi-
co as a cattle raising section says :
"Its number of herds has not only
increased but old ones are constant-
ly being added to. The Dorsoys
own 35000 cattle there and the
Chisuins are large owners (i. W.

The Medicine Lodge Cresset has
made its appearance in a brand new
dress and looks bright fresh and
crisp in its matter and make-up.
Success to the new management.
Wc make the following extracts from
the last issue:
Lou Pvock came up from his ranch
on Pond creek on Friday of last week.
He. says the report of himself and
Sanborno selling their ranch and
stock is all a mistake : that instead
of selling out. they want to buy more
cattle.
Tt is feared by some of our cattle-
men that the county will hardly
have suflieient representation at the
Nation round-up. There is no doubt
a great many Barbour county cattle
are still in the Nation and as this
is the final round-up for tho season
there ought to be plenty of good
men there to look after them.
A. B. BoylanT while looking for
his cattle on White Woman last
week in Kearney county. Kas. van
onto a small bunch of buffalo. He
immediately started in pursuit and
succeeded in ropeing a young calf.
The mother seeing her calf in
thraldom charged on Mr. Boylan
barely giving him time to draw his
torty-live and dispatch her. these
are the first buffalo we have heard
of in the state for years.
Dr. Kcssler was called to Kiowa
last Saturday to extract a bullet
from the wrist of a negro herder who
had shot himself while coming up
the trail. The darkey was cleaning
his revolver when it was discharged
the ball striking between the thumb
and index finger passing back to-
ward the wrist striking a bone and
turning lodged close to the artery
in the wrist. It is said tho fellow
was cleaning his revolver prepara-
tory to having a racket with another
herder when the accident occurred.
