Schafer.—Cauterization with a hot poker is believed to have saved the life of Miss Sackette, a homesteader living 15 miles southeast of here, when she was bitten by a rattlesnake a few days ago. Usual antidotes for the poison being lacking, her sister thought of the cauterization method, which was tried with evidently unusual success.

Last night No. 1 consisted of fourteen cars and two engines, probably the largest passenger train ever seen on the road. Several of the cars were filled with Boston excursionists and the air was positively oppressive from the vast amount of "culchah" lying around in chuncks

A cow-boy named James Boyd was killed about two weeks ago on
O'Fallon creek. He was working for the "Capital B" outfit, whose ranch is on the Sandstone. When last seen alive, he had just turned over a bunch of cattle to a brother cow-boy. The horse he was on was not very bridle-wise and it is supposed that he fell over a bluff with Boyd into O'Fallon creek. The body was found about three days later after the fatal accident. Boyd was a first-class cow-boy and all who knew him, deeply mourn his loss as he seemed to have no enemies whatsoever.
