One capitalist, Mr, Dur- ell, who prides himself on his abil:- ty to ascertain by wire every morn- ing and evening exactly how matters stand on the ranch, received a tele gram on the day that the storm be- gan notitying him that the biggest Bizzard ever experienced inthe west was raging, and that while his cattle were all right there were reports that those of several other owners near by were in a terrible condition. Put- ting the message in his pocket, the owner sallied torth to commuserate with his neighbors, and when he tound them he communicate! the news only to be laughed at, and Messages were shown to him saying that things were ali right with every- body’s cattle except his own. Thinking ou these things, the cat- thers and sent this message to his foreman at Las Animas: * Reports up here as to condition meandered back to his office of very conflicting Hear trom outside sources that our Telegraph range cattle stock is in bad shape. full partculars.”’ He received no answer that day nor the next, and, as the wires were down, nobody had qny_ information to convey. Onthe third day, the weather being terribly cold, but the storm haying subsided, the tollow- ing telegrams were placed on the desk of the capitalist: **Snow ten feet deep all over the sange. Wind b owing horns off of the cattle. Coldest ever seen. Have two men trozen, and six others out. Cattle all O. K “Been out all morning. Had horse trozen.

Then, going over to McHenry’s office, Mr. Durell pead these trom the foreman of that genticmua’s ranch; “Never seen anything hke this since 1 was ju the Big Horn range Thermumetets out of sight, and ev erything troze stiff, More’n 200 our cows blown off their feet last mght, bur helped them up myself.

A further consultation ended in the transmission of a tele- gram to McHenry intorming him that the dispatches were still coming and that he had better make a pretty close examination of the telegraph office and the towa. Inreply to this came these few words: ‘‘Have struck the biggest poker game eyer played.”” Just this meant nobody knew. McHenry was known to en- joy a band at poker once in a while, what and, as it was feared that he might have been lead off, Durell conclud ed to go down to the front and_ find what the The second day after his departure Hen derson received a dispatch from him out situation » was saying: “That poker game.” That set Henderson to thinking, and the more he thought the madder he grew. Then he telegraphed Mc Henry, Durell, and his boss in the most savagest manner he knew how, for particusars, fumed around for a while, looked at his watch, saw he had time to caich the train, and start ed himself tor Las Animas. On arriving there he found everybod, talking about that big game that had just broken up, but learned to his chagrin that McHerry and Durell had started for Denver the previous evening. Satistying himself from the condition of the countrv there was no use of his trying to find out anything definite about his cattle, as the best posted man in town could only guess where they were, he alsu returned, and reaching here last night, he learned the news from Durell and McHenry. On. reaching Las Animas, Mc- Henry at first could find no stock men, and he feared that the boys had been and still were haying a terrible time out on the range, Atter he had telegraphed something home to tha effect, he lookel the town over and receiving a hint, tound his way into a hall where about all the cattlemen in that region had gathered to spec ulate on the value of their cards The audience and the players grew in numbers as the severity of th: weather increased, and so grea was the interest that an enterpris- ing restaurant man opened up lunch aud beer counter in the room, so that no adjournment was neces sary. When one man stepped ou: another took his place, and the sid bets were lively all the time. Mc Henry found all of his men, as wel as those of his triends’ there, an: came near getting mad at, first, bu was persuaded to try his luck. When Durell appeared and an- nounced that all the Owners we: coming down, it was decided that 1 was time to quit, and the game was broke up alter having run. day and tght tor eleven days. By the time Henderson arrived all hands had scattered. ““Where did those telegrams come trom?” he asked in blank amaze ment. “Why,” said McHenry and Dur ell, who were ahead of the game, “they were written by the man at the Junch counter with the idea of keep ing us satisfied up in Denver, and im the hope that be could keep the game running a month or two.’’ i “He would, too,’’ observed Hen- | derson slowly, as he walked aw ay, | ‘suf he hadn’t lied so enthusihstically’’ | Trustworthy information trom he | ranges is, that while the cattle suffer- | ed terribly for a few days, ,the loss was not large. = was the scene of a most Siar cident vesterday afternoon tl ever happened in the history o S country. Several years ago a poor, gling teamster of this. city, A. W. Fullie, moved with his tami- to Doniphan county, Kansas, where he rented a patch of ground from a tarmer near Geary City, and since that time has eaked out a mis erable existence, having neve® pros- pered. A httle Fullie was stricken down complication of diseases and on two occasions during that time went into a trance and lay as if dead for sever- al days, after which he would come to himself and tor a while would seem to be improving. On_ las: Tuesday he died. His tamily at first thought he had gone off in a trance and they patiently awaited his a- wakening, but the days passed and the man did not revive. Then ter all sorts ot re-nedies had been ap- over a vear ago with a ai- plied and without avail, it. was de- termined to bury him. Fulhe had trec desire to be interred in Mount Mora, leutly expressed a and out ot respect to 4 wish oi was deter cined to bring bin tos Joseph. There was vo undertaker in the neighborhood, and bis family concluded to bring the corpse to this city, have 1. placed in a coffin at Seidenfaden’s, and trom there take it to the cemetery, accordingly, the body was dressed, wrapped ina winding sheet and placed in a farm wagon, into which the members of the family, the wother and two sous «.took themselves, and yesterday morning the mourntul procession s arted tor St. Joseph The ordze was reached without incident and without thought, save of the memo ry of the father and husband who tay dead in the bottom or the wagon On went the solemn cortege, cross ing the bridge, each step ot the horses sounding hke the hammering of nails mto the coffin and like the nollow rattling of clods on the box in the grave. Suddenly there came a faint cry from the winding sheet, and then a groan, as if in mortai agony, The three occupants of the wagon looked around, and simul taneously they gazed into the eyes vf the awakening corpse. It was a moment of utterly unspeakable hor- ror and amazement. The horses were stopped, the sheet unfolded, and there in the middle of the bridge A. W. Fullie, who in a few hours would have been buried trom the sight of man torever, slowly grew tuto consciousness and in a little while satup in the wagon. There vas a general rejoicing, and after a little consultation it was decided to return home and put the sick man to bed with all possible haste. Then the heads of the horses were turned and the resurrected man and his joy- ous family returned home. The Butler Democrat says, ‘the umes of Judge Parkinson and Sen- tor DeArmond have been mention elin connection with the Circuit ludgeship,”’ but that neither of them has signified a willingness to accept it, the formér claiming that he1s out of politics and the latter having a desire tor some other position.”” In view of this condition of affairs, the Democrat brings Thos. W. Silyers of Butler to the front tor the Circuit Tudge-ship In the meantime tie Butler Truzs is urging Judge Parkinson for Circuit Judge, and Col. Wade ot the Democrat may consider himselt surprised sf Judge Parkinson does not enter the arena for this prize. Judge Parkinson ap- preciates a good thing to the ful ness of his soul, and it is safe to say, if the judgeship knocks at his front door he is not the man to turn it away without first iaviting it in.— Nevada Mail. mine is I have used it Id not do without it Ithas stoppe hair failing, restoredits. natural black 7 and wholly cleansed it trom dandruit —Miss Pearl Aneson, St. Louis, Mo. fH no 191m triend ot Ln oe, Constipation, , Eructation, i and promotes di- gestion, Without injurious medication, Tus Cextacr Coxrayy, 182 Fulton Street, N.
