Dakota Cattle War.
Sioux Falls , S. D. , Sept. 11. The
bitterness existing for some time be
tween the few remninlng cattlemen
and the homesteaders residing In the
vicinity of Qulnn , one of the new
towns between the Missouri river and
the Black Hills , in western South Da
kota , has been Intensified by the re
cent shooting by unknown persons of
thirteen bend of cattle belonging to
John Hart , a prominent cattleman. Six
of the animals were killed outright
and the others have since died. It is
! believed the shooting was done by
homesteaders , who were incensed be-
cn"se their corn crops had been de
stroyed by the cattle , and took this
method of showing their resentment
toward the cattlemen , who&s herds
they wish moved to other parts of the
nortwest. The shooting of the cattle
has been Investigated by the author
ities , but they were unable to secure
evidence which would warrant arrests
being made.

A. L. Lagger , formerly of Norfolk
) ut now residing in Texas , writes an
nteresting letter to his friend , J. C.
Larkin , regarding shooting nnd fishing
on the gulf coast as follows : 'I came
down by way of St. Louis , Momphls ,
Vlcksburg and New Orleans , and
stopped at all those places for a few
lays. I came across the country to
Houston through the lowlands , and in
some places in Louisiana it was very
wet. I was in Houston a week and
Ike It there very much , there being-
lots of game around there of all kinds ,
although it Is a city of 100,000 lots
of quail , ducks and deer , and I have
in invitation to go out duck shooting
there next week , ns the season is now
open. They kill black mallards and
teal nnd have good shooting nt this
time of the year. I took a run down
liere to Fort Lavnca to see the town ,
the only one In the county , and found
the climate very cool and delightful ,
and nil kinds of fishing. I caught an
alligator gar from the wharf yester
day morning on n throw line that
weighed seventy-one pounds. There
Is lots of sport In catching thorn , nnd
jou never know what you have until
you drag It out. I saw lots of tarpon
nnd porpoises close to the plor. They
chase the mullet into the shallow wa
ter and feed on thorn. People shoot
ducks hero until they get a headache ,
and from the photographs I have seen
they tell the truth about It. They
have also fine jack snlpo and quail
shooting. The land is fine , but is
owned by a company and cannot bo
bought ono party owning 115 sec
tions. Tills land sold a few years ape
for 25 cents per acre. I think Texas
hns the greatest resources of any
state In the nation. I am going to
Houston tomorrow to shoot at the
traps. I expect to go north in October
nnd will see you then. Give my re
gards to nil the boys. "
J. B , Glosser attended the state fair
this week and returned homo last
evening.
