To Capture Mustangs.
Hunting wild horses is to be
revived in Oklahoma. A nam
ber of cowboys have made a
contract to furnish mustangs
to an agent of the British gov-
ernment and will at once begin
a roundup of some of the good
sized herds that have been run
ning at large in Beaver county.
For a number of years these
horses have been a nuisance to
the cattle and sheepmen, and
the herders and cowboys have
Bhpt. them down at every op
' portnnity, but notwithstanding
this slaughter they haue stead
ily, increased in number and
do much damage stampeding
cattle, running down sheep,
breaking fences and raiding
winter forage. The low price
of horses has made it unprofit-
able to capture these horses
but some cowboys recently
sent an agent to Kansas City
to negotiate with an agent of
the English government, and
he made a contract to take all
jof jfche mustangs as fast As cap
tured and ship them direct to
South Africa. Three compan
ies of riders were at once or
ganized and are now trying to
round up the wild herds. They
will drive the animals into the
ravines in the hills and lasso
them, driving in small bunches
to Liberal, Kan., for shipment.
They have adopted a series of
smoke, fire and heliograph sig
nals to communicate with each
other and call for the other
riders whenever the herds are
corralled. The men in the
scheme expect to reap several
thousand dollars from the sale
of captured mustangs.—Stock

Take the Uiiehito Valley f^alltnay to Seymour.
Seymour is situated 160 mile* northwest from Ft. Worth; is the termlnoe of the Wichita Valley railway and la the coanty eeat ml Baylor county. It ia beantifnlly located on tlie oast bonk of
the Braaoe river and ie the center of the wheat region of Texan. Will command trade from more than a doien counties surrounding, betides all the great country in the great Northwest and Now
Mexico. Seymoar haa the finest building atone in the atato, tn the greatest abundance, cropping ont along the banks of the river. Very eaay to quarry. She has one of the flnestiuid most sub*
•tantial court house in in the state, an iron bridge spanning the Brasoe, numerous stone houses completed and occupied, a two story atone bank building coating about $30,000. The present pupil -
lation of Seymour is about 1000. Good water eon be had in all parte of town by digging wells from ttttoM feet deep.
The elevation of the oity of 8eymour is about 1500 feet above sea level. The atmosphere is light and 3ry; there is no malaria of natural eaueeefor sickness. We have good schools and
churohea. Our town is rapidly filling up and prieee of roal estate are gradually advancing. tan cannot make a mistake. Invest in town lots now and you are sure of a big profit in loss tliun
six months, beoanae we hold the location for a railroad and irrigation center. Just look on the map of Texas and judge for yourself. First, the Wichita Valley By. will probably build to the
southwest, also to the Northwest from this place. We have good reasons to believe that the following railroads Will come to out town: The Honstou A Texas Central, er Waoo brunch, in built to
Albany and some time In the future wUl be oontinnod northward, perhaps to Vernon, in that event it will undoubtedly pass through Seymour. We caa safely rely on either Dallas or Fort Worth
(and perhaps both cities) building railroads into our town, en route to Albuquerque, New Mexico. The W. M. W. 4 N. W. from Mineral Wells, Texas, is sure to come here this year. Hhoald the
Bock Island By. come to Wichita Falls or Henrietta our town will bo greatly benefitted. The fasts are we have better prospects of a railroad center than Ft. Worth had fonrteen years ago And u bat-
ter prospect for building a big city.
Baylor county is mostly fine agricultural land, being on either side of the Braaos and Big Wichita rivers. It is gently rolling and undulating prairie, sufficient timber for fuel for many yearn
to come, soil is dark and chocolate loam, easy to work, ia deep and very rloh, apparently inexhaustible, and will produce all kinds of small grain to perfection. The yield of wheat in from twenty to
thirty-five bushels, oats 40 to 00 bushels per aore, barley, rye, millet, sorghum, stc. in proportion. The y ieid of corn is enormous whenever the seasons are suitablo, from 40 to 00 bnnhuls per ncre
Unimproved lands can be bought from $2 to SO per acre, on easy terms. Our county, as well aa the adjoining country, has fiUed up rapidly, still there are thousands of good school coctiouH which
may be purchased from the State for $2 per acre on 40 years time, only one-fortieth being required in cash, all other payments may be deferred for forty years, provided the interest, which is por
cent on the total purchase price, it paid each year, all of which is deposited in the Treasury to the credit of the Free School fund of the state, thus making a munificent provision for u Juouthigihe
rising generation.
