Salmon spent | jn the northwestern part of the coun- yesterday in- Sedalia, —“lnowing ty, they discovered a part of a skel- that he was largely interested in! cton lying about 200 yeards trom his Texas cattle, a Dispatch reporter field.” veral of the neighbors were interviewed him on longhorns, trails, sent for and a search was made tor ranches, branding irons, cow bovs, several hundred yards around, but ACATTLE KING. The 8kel etc. ‘Well,’ said the Major, yeilding to the inevitable, “I have been in the cattle business net quite ten years yet, but it is an immense thing.’”’ **Where are your ranches ?’” “Oh, something like a thousand miles from here. Our headquarters are at Colorado City, Mitchel coun- ty, Texas, and we have a ranche in this county and one in Concho. We have now en the range about 40,000 head of bulls, steers, cows and calves. Our water is the Colorado and its tributaries. The territory for grazing purposes is fifty to one hundred miles in extent for each ranche ’” **Have you been seiling any cat- tle since you began?’ ‘*In 1851 we sold 1,000 head for $20 per head, and they were all fine, tat, picked beeves. This year we sold over 2,000 head for an average price of $33,90 per head, and the cattle were neither the best nor the fattest. I mention this to show what a difference there 1s in price as between 1881 and 1852. _ The cattle we sold last year for $20 per head would have brought us this year at least $42 per head.’’ *¢What is your market ?’’ “St. Louis. as good a cattle market as there is in the country. Jay Gould gives us liberal rates from Colorado City to St. Louis, the price per car is $95, | and we put from 18 to 22 steers on} 2 car, according to their size.’” | ‘+How much per year does it cost to get a steer ready tor market ?”’ “You will hardly beheve me when I'tell you, but 50 cents a year is a libera! allowance. Say you ship at four years old, well, from the time the calf is born until it 1s shipped it has just cost you $2.”’ *sDo rot the the little herds run from the big herds as men run from a pestilence ?”’ *‘Not as we manage business. We ask all little herders to put their cat— tle in with ours, for the reason that | we weuld rather have their labor than the ownership of their stock: but if they insist upon selling we always buy. Why, among our herds we have as many as 374 brands, and all brands, you know, have to be recorded and. entered upon the Re- corder’s book just as a deed to. land in Pettis county.”’ ‘sHow many men do you ploy?’’ “Between forty and fifty constant- ly.’ **Who are with you in your Texas mvestments ?”” “F. P. Bronaugh, of Boonville, George M. Casey. W. B. Adair, Horace Kingsbury, John Hinkle, and my brother, Dr. G. Y. Sal- mon.”” “Well, Major, what 1s your de- | liberate opinion about cattle rais- ing?” “That is the best business in the world. I know of nothing on earth which yields such an immense profit. ‘There 1s no possible chance to lose. [t grows and grows ali the time. is as certain as the ebb and the flow ot the tides. But, like everything else in the country, it is becoming | goncentrated. To go into it will re- quire more and more money every year.” The case of T. J. Scharum, on tnal at Belleville, for killing his brother-in law in East St. Louis, went to the jury at -five o’clock Thursday afternoon. « Bythe upsetting of a lamp the bed on which a corpse had been laid out at-Hot Sprmgs was set on _fire -aud consumed, the body being burn- ed to a crisp. Maj. R. W. Petmkin of the U. S. army was reported killed some days agoin the mountains of Chihuahus, and the secretary of war is trying to | uscertain the facts about it. Deasly, the Boston | fall Gees who gave promise of becoming a subject ‘ of habeas corpus proceedings, has | taken up his abode in St. Louis.

In the | back of the skull was a hole about | | the size of a 38-calibre ball, and up- ! on turning the skull over a_ ball of | | A eve-holes. Tuesday morning J. | | W. Downs and Wiley B. Mitchell | | came to this office with that part of i | the skeleton above mentioned, Who was this, or how or by what | means he came to his death, seems to be shrouded m an unfathonable muistery. No one has been missed from this neighborhood; how long ithe deed was committed no one | knows. and the bones do not reveal | anything more than}grounds of con- | jecture: they are bleached white, | every particle of flesh was gone, and the ends of the bones were <lecayed until they are evidently not as long 1 as they once were by three or four inches. The skull is well propor- tioned showing more than ordinary intelligence, the lower jaw 1s very | large and bread, the upper teeth are luneven, large and long, one of j which might have been difficult to hide by the lips when the deceased was living. Phe clothes mentioned above was what 1s called pepper and ; salt; the boots were worn on the in- i side and a part ota halt sole on them. ‘The bones are in possession of Dr. A. W. Cheneweth; any per- sons who may claim them may have them by corresponding with bim or addressing the Pineville Wews. Ten hours trom St. Louis to | Louisville, and trom St. Louis to Cincinnati, 1s the regular running time by the Ohio & Mississippi Railway. Solid trains are run to both cities, and all classes of passen- } gers are taken through without change of cars. This time is hours quicker than bv any other route. With its steel rail track, motive pow- er—the finest in the world,—good ballast, iron bridges, and a roaa bed which years of service has made as solid as the globe itself, tast time, | which by the Ohio & Mississippi Railway 1s perfectly safe, would be impossible for any new road. As an evidence of the great popularity of this line, those throughly posted say | that the Ohio & Mississipp1 Railway | secures ninety-nine per cent. ot the passenger business between St. | Louis and Louisville, and between | St. Louis and Cincinnati.
