Tbe Cattle Men.
Fobt Worth March 12. The
Northwest Texas cattlemen's associa
tion met here .In annual session to-
day. Over two hundred cattlemen
were present. President A. P. Bush
called the meeting to order. Sec-
retary J. C. Loving: read the minutes
of last year which were approved.
The executive committee submitted
its report showing the work done for
twelve months. They bad caught
stolen eattle at Chicago St. Louis
Kansas City and other points aggre-
gating In value $10465. Many cattle
were also recovered on the range.
Total collections for the year $0023;
balance on band $704 the association
being financially in a healthy condi-
tion. During the year twenty-three
members representing 6000 head of
cattle have neen admitted to mem-
bership. The Fort Worth union
stockyards projoot was heartily en-
dorsed. The committee submitted a
proposition from the Dahlman refrig-
erating company to tbe oflfeot that in
consideration of the sum of $1 per
head to be paid to Ibe company it
would begin the slaughtering and re
frigerating of cattle for export to En-
gland under contract with an English
syndicate the subscriptions at tbe
one-dollar rate to be paid pro rata
-monthly. Action will bo taken on
this proposition to-morrow. The
great question of the association was
then taken up on a resolution offered
by J. N. Simpson that the association
was opposed to the inspection of cat-
tle on the hoof in tho state where
they were slaughtered. After a long
discussion tbe resolution opposing
inspection was adopted by an over-
whelming vote and the convention
adjourned till to-morrow.
The Lb Hall tbe Cheapest.
San Antonio Maroh 12. A resi-
dent of San Antonio who desires bis
name withheld for business reasons
speaking to-day of the Interstate com-
merce law and railway discrimina-
tions said:
"I will tell you bow the thing is
worked against San Antoulo. Re
member I am discussing facts not
theories. I bad some non-perishable
freight to ship to Ban Franclaoo. The
rate from San Antonio to that point
is $3.60 per 100 pounds. I sent the
freight first to New York for which I
paid $1.60 1 reshlpped thenoo for San
Francisco for which I paid$1.70total
$3.80 or a saving of 80 cents on every
100 pounds whioh In car loads
amounts up considerably. It was
right funny to see my freight come
baok through here some weeks later
and I had a moro intense appreciation
of thejoke us I saved money by it.
I clve you the inoident simply to show
you that there Is suoh a thing as dis-
crimination and that It Is consider-
ably prevalent around hero."

at Hawkins -Lane Marshall and Tex-
arkana. His friends at Hawkins have
been telogrnphed of tho acoident
whioh occurred in this way: lie was
at work for the Atlanta lumber compa-
ny working in front of tho largo sor-
Ticcr whim a five inch belt broke and
struck him in the breast. Ho ran out
to one sido of the shed and toll and ex-
pired in about three minutes. When
examined it was found that a small belt
hook had struok him in the center of the
breast and it is supposed passed
through h?s heart as it was thrown with
great force the pulley on whioh the bolt
was running making about zbuuu revo
lutions per minute. Only a few days
sinco one ox these nooks now out ana
struck a man working for tho same com-
pany with such force as to pass through
the fleshy part of his arm. Mill own-
ers say that these hooks fly with tho ve-
locity and power of a 44 bullet. Tho
body of Mr. Young was to bo buried
this morning if his relatives are not
hoard from.
