COWBOYS ARE HEAVILY ARMED.
Aa EBxageaicat Between 50 of Them aad
2f Ine Sheep Herders Xear Elkbead.
Wolcott, Colo., June 11. News has
been received here of an encounter be
tween 50 cattlemen and nine Mexican
ehetjD herders near Elkhead, about 135
Biles north of here. The affray was
bloodless, except that Jose Annerot re
ceived a slight wound in his left arm
from a cowboy's rifle. The flock
comprised about 2,000 sheep and was
being driven along carelessly. The
Mexicans were poorly armed and made
no attempt at" resistance. As soon as
Jose was wounded the rest took to their
heels and fled to the hills, leaving the
keep to their fate. The cattlemen
Anally induced them to return and the
beep are now across the line in Wyo
' ning, from which state they came.

'.tempt to enter Colorado again. The
. body of cattlemen who drove tlris flock

to his force, but all sorts of rumors are

'the cattlemen the greatest ill feeling is
that there are 150 Pinkertons with him.
"I do not believe in bloodshed," said
an old ranchman, "but if Edwards at
tempts to ruin our grazing ground by
driving his 6hecp to Wolcott, he and
bis entire force should be annihilated."
If Edwards has the Pinkerton men,

day eveniug instead, and, according to
the story told by Mrs. Ish. attempted to
ravish her while her husband wa3 in
another part of the house. She claims
that when she screamed Chappell drew
his revolver, but that she grabbed
it from his hand and commenced shoot
ing at him. Her husband rushed into
the room, revolver in hand, and Mrs.
Ish says she grabbed that revolver also
and continued the shooting. In all
nine shots were fired, four of which
struck Chappell. Mrs. Ish was placed
in custody, but later developments seem
to indicate that it is likely the woman's
husband did the shooting, and that the

Letters found on the person of the dead
man show conclusively that he and Mrs.
Ish had been unduly intimate.

shooting, having caught them in a com
promising position.

JACKS AND JENNIES.
Wie Owners of Mules Suffer Through De
preciation of Stock.
Farmers who own jacks and jennies
will be interested iu a study of the gov
ernment mule report which was issued
by the- departmont of agriculture last
month. There were 2,333, 108 mutes in
tho United States at tho beginning of
1895, as compared with 2,314,699 mules
in January, 1892, showing an increase
of 1 8, 409 mules within three years. This
is a gain of less than 1 per cent, and so
small that it should not in any way af
fect the prico of mules. But comparing
further tho value of mules on the farm
we find it to have been as follows:
Value per head.
$73 C3
January, ISA?
January, 1335
Loss SJ8 0Q
It seems that mules which wero worth
f 75.55 each at tho beginning of 1892 in
the time of McKiuley protection were
worth only $47.55 a head at the begin
ning of the present year under Gorman
free trade, tho loss to farmers and oth
ers being $28 upon each and every mule
which they owned. Applying these
average values to tho total number of
mules, wo get at tho entire values at
each period as follows:
Total value of mules.
January, 1992. $174,882,070
January, 1803 110,927,884
Total los3 63,964,288
Farmers, teamsters and mule owners
generally can see that they have lost al
most $64,000,000 through the deprecia
tion in tho valuo of mules since our
good protection times, when the McKin
ley tariff act was in force. This is a lit
tle extraordinary, because under the
new tariff we were promised a larger
demand for all American products from
the markets of the world that were to
bo opened to us as soon as the McKin
ley tariff was abolished. Unfortunately
this seems to be another instance where
foreign buyers have failed to keep their
part of the agreement that was promised
for them by our free trade falsifiers.
That French obbys Work.
Our exports from France have been
increasing since our new tariff went in
to effect, and in January there was "ex
traordinary activity in tho exports of all
textiles." The value of the silk goods
shipped increased from 606,800 in
January, 1893, to 944, 800 in January,
1894, an increase of $1,690,000. Of
French woolen goods the exports were
$1,700,000 larger this January than in
1893, of cottou goods they were $582,
000 large, of liueu goods they increased
from $67,000 up to $180,500, and of
jute stuffs from $48,000 in January,
1893, up to $78,000 iu January, 1894.
Much of the silks aud woolens came to
tho United States, a fact that Ameri
can labor in our silk and woolen fac
tories will be interested to learn.
Potatoes and Protection.
Under the McKiuley tariff the duty
on foreign potatoes was 25 cents per
bushel, but tho Gormandizing tariff re
duced it to 15 cents per bushel, areduo-
tion of 89. 99 per cent The result aince
the 40 per cent rent in our wall of j
tection has been to check ihejftteloj

Why Grant Was m Jtepubllcan.
The following lines, written and
signed by General U. S. Grant in 1880,
appear iu his autograph:
"There is not a precinct in this vast
nation whero a Democrat cauuot cast his
ballot and have it counted as cast, no
matter what the predominance of the
opposite party.
"He can proclaim his political opin
ions, even if he is one amoug thousands,
without fear and without proscriptions
on account of his opinions.
"There are 14 states and localities iu
eomo others where Republicans have not
this privilege. This is one reason why I
am a Republican. "
The Democratic "Scourge."
"The scourge is lifted." This is
what the New York Times had to say
after the adjournment of the free trade
congress that it helped to elect, and
which it had predicted would bring
peace, plenty and prosperity to our peo
ple and country. Yet tho same sheet
will be clamoring next year for more
"scourge. "
