Reports of the I||~|lrx|nll‘ Business of Nebraska Supreme Court Re ay-—Notes From the State Hou [FROM THE BEE'S LINCOLN BUREAT.] Some time Judge Morris, of Creto, gave an opinion in the district court that has largely escaped attention although it opens to new view a feature in the Slocumb law. The case was, in fef, brought by a wholesalo liguor t. Joseph to recover the price of a barrel of whiskey from a saloon keeper in Crete. The goods were sold by the traveling salesman on a verbal order without a written contract, but the contract was ratified by the receipt of the liquor at Crete. Judge Morris holds in the case t a8 the traveling ol 1 hiad 1o license to sell liquor in the state, the sale was made against good morals and public policy and against the public statute of the state, sinee and that the law of the state could, not be invoked to in any way aid the vio- lator, and that they were not in a position to come before the court and enforce their claim, It is understood the case will go to the supreme court, and if a like decision is reached there affect wholesale liguor © custom in vogue of sell- ing throngh traveling salesmen, espe- cially, v look to the courts to aid them in collections.

Another peeuliarly Californian style of land fraud was the floating grant. Jose Lopez, for examplo, applied for a grant of land. He set forth in his peti- on that he was a soldier ot the Mission an Jose, disabled by numerous wounds received in the service of the ‘church and state; that the wounds made him incapable of active duty and forced him to pass Lis time in his cabin; that in consequence ho had accumulated a a-rolling r, became wealthy hidalgos, and large fumily, mostly boys; that and dastards i per- prevalent even in and therefore how much more numerous such. detrimental per- sons might be expected to become in the future; that it was a good thing for the state that large families of boys should be reared in @ spirit of loyaity and de- votion by true and tried soldiers like himself; and' that in consideration of his wounds, his large family, and his loyalty he should receive a grant of 500 ac of land included within certain described bounds. It was further sot forth in Jose's memorial that he had ex- pended the savings of years in the pur- chase of stamped paper for his_petition. The Alcalde approved, and the gover- nor issued the grant. When the Amer- icans came into power it was discovered that the boundaries of the Lopez grant enclosed 5,000 acres, and the courts held that the specified 500 could be located at the grantee’s option anywhere within the lincs. A pioneer squatted on the northwest corner, and Lopez or h signs brought suit in _ejectment, the nurposes of thesuit he located his 500 in the northwest corner,and the squatter was put out. Another man squatted in the southeast corner. The grant was floated down there, and he bought 200 acres of the Lopez grant, getting title under it. In the course of a few years that grant was floated all over the 5,000 ncres, and settlers on all parts acquired title under Lopez grantg IPraud of some kind taints nearly all the Mexican grants, but the land has been transforred so often that any attempt to For surge the titles of fraud would work ]uu(ldum to innocent parties and bene- fit nobody. For this reason Surveyc General Hammond makes in his annual report the recommendation—startling enough when regarded without knowl- edge of the history of California land titlos—that all Mexican titles patented by the United States, fraudulent and other, be once and for all conlirmed This shall be socurod from attack by tho govornment, but still leaves the question of hounds and_line open to contest by adjacent holdcrs. e Curious Superstitions. A medi writer notes some curious supérstitions which prevailed in me- dicval time For instance, it was held that a chip from a gallows on which sev- eral persons hud been hanged, worn in a g around the neck, was a cure for by which some criminal n hanged was bound around the temples as an infallible cure for head ache. Jmnmu of the glands were said to be vay" by nine blows of a dead m; us hand, and the hand of a man who had been cut down from the gullows was said to work wonders in that way. A ring made froma coftin was applied for the relief of cramps, which were also said to bo dispelled by n rusty hanging by the patient’s bed. If onc had the toochache one was told to go and drive nails in oak tree, which, it is true, would not kill the pain, but was a sure preventative against a future at- tack. Lk Burglars as Surgeons.

AN OLD RANCHMAN'S STORY. The Singular Habits of Wild Horses— A Nuisance to Stock Growers— How the Indians Hunt Them General Brishin writes to the New York World from Fort McKinney, Wyo.: An black stallion lay dying on & hil His eyes were fast glazing over with the film of death as his blood slowly ebbed away from a bullet-hole in his lungs, “There,” gaid the ranchman as he stooped over the dying horse, I guess you won't steal any more of my mares, you old rascal, you,” and he contemptu- ously kicked the carcass, The ranch- man was old Steine, the well-known horse v in the Big Florn mountains, “What did you kill him for?” I asked. “What did T kill him for?" said old Steine in astonishment. “For stealing my mares, of course. You didn’t sup- pose I killed him for fun, did ye?" “I don’t know,” I replied modestly, the sheep, kinds suffer wolves, as #2 per head for wolf sc goes out into the section of country where the wolves are thickest and builds him a cabin, He will then kill one or two antelope, skin them, and drag the blood in pieces ull about the countr ment is thon annually Some counties offer as much Ips.

Sometimes wolf bait isset in candles; the wick is pulled out, the hole filled with strychnine, and then the candle is cut up in pioces two or.three inches lon the ends sealed or plugged up, his bait is sot by putting a bit of stick in the ground, splitting it atthe top and putting the picce of candle between the s tions of the stick. A wolf is v of candles, and when he comes afong he jerks the bait out of the stick and swal- lo ‘When the candle melts in his stomach, which it does in a fow minutes jhe veleased strychnine takes hold on the wolf's vitalsand then there is music. The wolf always blan his trouble on his tail, and he will spin around and “but it seems a pity to kill so fine a be: “A fine old thief,” said Steine, kick- ing the ca again. “Why, man, do you know that old cuss has stolen more than a dozen of my mares, and I reckon £1,000 wouldn’t pay for the damage he has done 1n this valley during the past summer, “Tell me ail about it,” I said, “for it all scems very strange to me.” “T reckon it wouldn't seem ve ou kived up ng 10 raiso strange to you. stranger, if y in these parts and were ot horses.” And the man_looked at me contemptously. as if he thought T was a greenhorn just from the east. e here, old man,” T said sharply, “'ll thank you not to take me for a ten* derfoot, for T reckon I have beenon the plains about as long as you have, but L never saw anybody kill'a hovse like that befor “Guess 3 ur experience at horse-rai ing then is rather limited, stranger,” id old Steine, “but as you ask me a civil question and seem to be an hmu-sl sort of chap, T'll tell you all about it.” “Didn’t you never hear of wild ? ho asked, suddenly. s, Isaid, “I have, of course.” “Well,” continued eine, that's one of them lying there, and 1 reckon he was the biggsst thief in the wholo lot. Yousee they run in_gangs of fifty to a hundred, and the stallions steal our mares and ¢ o them off into the wild bands, and that's the last we ever see of them unless it is with a spy-glass. They go just plum wild and seem worse nor the real wild mares.” I then learned from the old ranchman some curious facts about the wild horses of the plains, Lvery effort to destroy them has proved futile, and the aid of the territorial government is now to be asked to eradicate their bands. They have increased so wonderfully within the past few years that they have be- come an unbearable nuisance to the stock-growers of the plains. They graze in bands of twenty, fifty and even 100, and are difficult to approach. An old stallion generally occupies some eleva- tion, and _he will trumpet an alarm to the herd if he sees any one coming. In times of danger from wild beasts the stallions form a circles and the mares and colts are put inside. The colts are often attacked by wolves or Rocky Mountain lions, but they never succeed in kiiling a colt without a battle with the horses, and often the wolves and lions are kicked and beaten so badly that they to beat a retreat without se- curing their prey. The stallions are regular Mormons, and get all the mares fan e S and re- the country fooking for mares and even proselying for hovscsto enter their band. If cow ponies stray too far from the cattle or camp the first thing they know they are rounded up by an old stallion and driven off into the hills. Often a wild herd will discover a_tame band of horses grazing quietly in the valley with no intention of leaving their range, but the band of wild horses, led on by their stallions, dash down into the valley, capture themand carry them aws The wild stallions are shot with- out merey by the ranchmen. If one is seen grazing upon a hill he is sneaked upon and dropped in _his tracks. They are very alert and difficult to approach, but like the tame hor P 3 killed. A bulletin almost any part of the body will cause the horse to drop on the plain, The Indians are the best wild-horse hunters, but they do not like to be out in stormy weather and they cannot stand the cold of winter as well as white men, In a storm is the best time to hunt wild horses, for they bunch and cannot seo any one approaching until it is too late to get out of the way of the bullets. It nerally useless for a hunter to at- tempt to run down a wild horse with a tame one, The tame horse, weighted down with the burden of the hunter’s body, soon tires and the wild horse eusily escapes. Sometimes the hunters discover the tracks of wild horses near a stream and they than hunt for their watering place, The band always waters at the same place though right on the stream, the will go up or down it fora mile or more in order to drink_at their ac- tomed ‘ring pluce. Hiding in the h or erawling to a bluff the hunter lies in wait until the horses come to the water, and then shoots them. It is difficult to catch them as they seem to know instinctively when hunters are about, and if they even suspeet danger they will at once leave the locality. A smoke or anything unusual will stam- pede them and they will run forty or fifty miles before letting up. Their sénse of smell is very acute and on the wind side, about a mile is as close as a hunter can get before being discovered by his odor, and the horses are off in a jiffy The wint the best season for wild- horse hunting Vyoming. The ani- mals get discournged by the deep snc und become hungry and poor. The 2y ave apt at such times to bunch in the cot- tonwood groves, where they eat the bark off the trees and chew up all the small limbs they can reach. Inwint too, the horse-hunters can unite with it the busiuess of “wolling.” Perhaps some people do not know what *wolf- ing” is. Well, a “wolfer” is simply a wolf hunter, or & man who kills wolve for their hides and the reward offered for their destruction. In earlier years wolves on the plains were killed “only for their pelts, but now they are killed to save the game and sheep as weil as for their pelts, Next to man the wolf if the greatest destroyer of game. The gray wolf is dangerous, too, and will attack ml)llnng from achipmunk to a man. They used to hunt in gungs and destroy a gréat many buffaloes. ey would follow an old bull, biting him until they had ham- strung him, and then they would kill and cat him, The buffaly” being gone, | around trying to catch his tail in his mouth, as'T have seen a dog do when at . He will next stand on his hind '.~;;~ aind walk about and dance, but it all does no good. His shricks and crics of pain ave terrible to hear, and about the last thing he does is to turn two or wrsaults in the air and yehnine kills them ever time. Indians do not like to kill wolves; they think it is “bad medicine,” but 1 never knew an Indian_yet to object to helping “skin up,” and they willsrener- ally skin a wolf wherever he is found dead and bring the pelt to the wolfe The wild-horse hunters are wolfers, and when they do not plenty of wild horses they always find plenty of wolves and make a good thing out of the bounty and pelts. I have a boy out with a party of wolfers now, and he sa¥s the thvee of them trequéntly Kill twenty and twenty-five wolves pe day, worth for their hides and scalps at least, That's pretty good wages for three men, or rather two men and a boy, to make. Although tho wolfer has a home cabin where he keeps nis pelts he is seldom **at home.” He vides and walks all over the couutry, often camp- ing underatreo and slecping in tho snow or on the cold ground. His only caro is to have ‘l‘l«utv of matches, keep noar timber and look out for “north- When the wolfer hunts wolves and horses together he takes two swift ponies, one of which he rides and the other he leads, packed with his bedding, grub and traps. Hoe goes over vast tracts of territory, and it is only by hard riding and terrible exposure he can hope tocome up to the wild horses. When once upon them ho does not at- tempt to e h them, but kills them, a 1d stallion’s scalp being worth $25 among the stockmen of the region where he ranges. Sometimes in the summer the cow- boys make up large partics* and go _out to hunt wild colts. /On such occ they take their lassoes, somo good ing horses and pro ms and_hunt for the band. A bund sighted, they ercep under the cover as near as possible and then, maunting, give chase. The colts, being weak soon fall behind the band, and are lassoed and choked into sub- mission, he little fellows are not hard to conquer and when ated from their companions domesticated easily, but can never be trusted. A band of cowboys in camp and_they became so tame that they turned them loose with the other horses. They stayed about for a day or two, but oné morning they were missing and were never scen again. A farmer who had a wild colt given him by a cowboy put it in a lot by his house and kept it there a long time, It became so tame it would cat sugar out of his hand and let him fondle it. One day he left the bars down by accident, and in the evening it was missing, It was seen several miles from home and pursued, but it escaped to the mount- ains and never came back. Hunting wild horses is a noble sport and a most rare one in this countr; A ranchman tells me he knows where there is a band of seven head ot wild horses in a litt ey up the Big horn mountuins. This valley is only ten miles long and from a half to one mile wide. 1t isup\u-..;.. ed by a nar- row canyon that closes in to fifty and y feet at places, and the whole val- ley inside is surrounded by wall rock hund of feet high, over which no animal can eseape. Not only wild horses but deer and elk are very fond of seek- ing such sheltered nooks in winter. It is proposed to go up early in the spring, wall up the mouth of the valley at the narrowest point and then go for the band, Old Steine, who killed the black stallion mentioned in the first part of this article, says he knows the band well and that there are several branded mares and horses with it, stolen from the tame herds, and also ten or a dozen = rd ame unbranded two and three year olds. He offers to be one of the party to capture them. When this hunt comes off I wild let you know the result of it. —_— Rhe tism., is undoubtedly caused by lnetid acid iu the blood.

Philadelphia Inquirer: The present year is the fifth year of modern times in which the aggregute of the figure is twenty-five, and thdra will be but five more years in which such a combination is possible prior to the year 2599, Prob- ably but few have ever heard of the old prophecy, which runs as follows: In every future year of our Lord, When the sum' of the figures is twenty-five Sowe warlike kingdom will draw_the sword, But peaceful nations in peace shall thrive. Students of modern history will read- ily recall how faithfully this prophecy has been fulfilled in the four previous years to which it applied. In 1699 Russia, Denmark and Poland formed the coalition against Sweden, which inaugurated the great war that ended in the disastrous defeat of Charles XVI at Pultowa, The year 1789 will ever be memorable account of the breaking out of the French revolution, 1708 w parte in E s France.
