A feuther broke the CRtnel’s
buck, and Chittim s $350,000
failure may be attributed to
Jim Cunningham’s loss of
three big steers on a recent
raiu shipment to St. Louis,
from Eagle Pass. This ought
to teach cow punchers to be
more careful while in charge of
stock goiug to market. Mr.
Cunuingham did all his duty
throughout the 1,500 mile jour-
ney, but never dreamed that
the loss of three animals would
cause such a disastrous result
