times at one of bis. companions, a

each shot taking effect and wounding
the boy fatally.
Among the many other enterprises

Mr. Tulloss brought a Siamese
calf to town this week, which was on
exhibition at Riding's blacksmith
shop. It had two well developed
heads, and two backbones, which is
two more than a great many of our
prominent men have. Also, it had
legs galore, and other et cetera* too
numerous to mention.—Amarillo
Advocate.
Various reports have gone out
that cattle losses in this aection dur-
ing the recent storm were from 50 to
75 {>er cent and papers at a distance
have been publishing the same.
This shows that these pipers are
not very careful about the reliability
of repoits which they publish, for
these reports were certainly started
by people entirely ignorant of the
facts. After a earful canvass of
the loss in Roberts ccunty the num-
ber does not exceed 1500 head and
as the assessor's rolls gives the
county about thirty thousand head
of cattle it is plain the loss must be
under 5 per cent.
BRYAN BILL DEAD.
Consideration Delayed Until April
i, Which Will be Too Late for
Bill to Pass.
After two days of stubborn oppo-
sition and warm diosussion the state
senate on last Thursday put tfco
Bryan quarantine bill to sleep. Tbo
bill did not come to a vote upon its
merits but was postponed until April
1. This action practically kills the
measure, as April 1 is the date set
by the legislature to adjourn and
there will be no time to consider and
pass the bill. The vote to postpone
was very close, the opponents of the
bill being able to summon only the
small majority of three. The defeat
of the measure is a great victory for
the stockmen north of the line, and
assures them that their interests will
not be endangered for at least
another two years.
