Efst sine* Washington Irvines “Tour of
the Prairie*,” Kendall’* “Santa Fe Expe

▼ast herd* of Tttxu* cattle from the south-
West to the cold climate of the north,

Stiffened in deuth, a lively Interest had
been taken In what i* called a “stampede”
or scare of animals in herd*
A stampede of a vast herd of the Ameri
can bison, that twenty-tive years ago roam
ed by millions In the interior of the conti
nent, was an every day affair. Now such
an occurrence has passed away forever.
What caused the huge beast, accustomed
to the tornado, the vivid lightning, the ter
rible hail that frequently accompanics the
sudden, short storm of the pruiries, to
stampede at apparently nothing, is one of
those problems that udiuit ot no solution
Sometime* it is caused by a fla^h of light
ning from a dark cloud; again the cry of a
starved wolf, or the appearance «n the
horizon of a single figure, or, perhaps,
something as insignificant ns the barking
of a prairie dog sitting on the edge of its
burrow.
A hen! once started, frequently the
whole prairie for miles became absolutely
black, with the tteeiiig beasts. There was
nothing so indescribably grand, yet »o aw
ful in its possible results. The earth,
shaken by the heavy, rhythmic tramp of
their hoofs upon the hard ground, fairly
reverberated as they passed a given point.
Woe to him that stood in the way of the
mighty throng of infuriated animals; noth
ing but annihilation, absolute and com*
pletc, his portion.
AN ILL FATED ARMY TRAIN.
Frequently the long army supply train
of an Indian expedition, composed of six
mule teams (that of the winter campaign
of 1868-0 was a mile long in four columns,
or four miles long when strung out in a
single line), was the scene oi “stampedes.”
The picture presented when the frightened
animals dashed away from the “trail,” to
be tied up in a confused mass of wagons,
harness, men and mules cauuot be por
trayed by any pen.
Captnin Ovenshine. now lieutenant col
onel of one of the iufuniry regiments of the
regular army, received from the writer, at
Fort Hayes, Kan., five or six teams of the
character described, in the winter of 1868*
to transport some camp equipage from that
post to Fort Dodge, on the Arkansas.
When the train had covered about half the
distance—forty miles—one afternoon, just
before going into bivouac, a portion of tbs
animals stampeded and uolhiug could be
discovered of their whereabout*.
Twenty years afterward some of the set
tlers war wheru now the town of Mc
Cracken, Rush county, is sitnated, were
surprised to fiud in a ravine, or small
canyon, the almost disintegrated remains
of several six tnule army wagons, the skel
etons of over thirty mule* and the iron
part* of harness. These fragment* were a
portion of the train that had stampeded so
many years tot or#.
Cattle have the “affliction,” so to ssy, to
break out when least expected. One may
travel for a week, believing that one’s
snlmnl* have been completely cured, when
suddenly* from some atmospheric Influ
ence or other unforeseen ami unaccount
able circumstance, awny they go. The de
vices for breaking it up are many. Lamp
lights srs used, mdse*such a* singing, etc.,
are employed, but nothing has ever yet
been discovered that is an Infallible pre
ventive.
STARTED mOM A HELL.
It was formerly the custom of vendors
to send herders to help start from tbs
neighborhood or “off the range,” os it wi
termed. These occasions were always con
sidered a holiday, and “night herding”
was an excitement eagerly sought. The
“watch” on one occaaiou, which consisted
of twoorthres reliefs, imd donned their
leggings and spurs, partaken of a oup of
exhilarating coffee, and sung their tour
through. The cattle were resting very
quietly, os Is their custom at first, only
rising to turn from one side to another. As
the “drive” continued on its tiresome way
the duty became monotonous, the herders
became grutn* voiceless, eager only for
i their watch to end.
On the night in question the owner of
the herd, rcmemlwrtng the previous quiet
of his animals, bethought himself of what
was afterward known ou the “trail” as the
“bell racket.” He purchased a large cow
bell for each horse, to serve the double pur-
nose of a soothing noise for the cattle and,
if the boys were wakeful, he would know
by the melody of the bells that they were
in motion, attending to their duty riding
around. Unfortunately, in this “outfit”
there wo* a big, burly negro, Intent only
upon sleep and shirking. He conceived the
brilliant idea of disengaging the bell from
bis horse's neck nod fastening it to bis stir
rup, so that he could keep up the motion
with his foot and nop a little at the same
time.
On this particular night he was slumber
ing tweetly. Ills horse, qnietly cropping
the gra-**, happened to stray into the mid
dle of the pem-efnl herd. At this juncture
the negro suddenly awakened and. di*cov<
eriug where he was, began to shake bis toll
violently. The uoise of course started
every steer to his feet and away went the
{Tightened animals on a run.
A STAMPEDE AT N1CIIT.
Ill s moment every horseman in the en
tire “outfit” was iu pursuit, with each in
dividual bell jarring discordantly and add
ing new terror to the stampeded herd. The
pursuers soon became aware of the folly of
following a flying herd with such a noise,
so they atondoneil their instruments.
Another stamped* was caused by a herder
who carried a cap and ball pUtol aial an
old fashioned powder horn in his waist belt
One night It had rained very haul ami
dampened his powder, lie thought he
would dry it by his “watch fire.” It dried,
of course, but with such a noise that the

One night a herder rose too clone to the
cattle. Ills horse stumbled and fell agaiuel
a sleeping steer. Then there was a roar as
if all the thunders of Mount Olympus had
spoken. Away went the herd, every man
running with It to the “trail.” about half
a mile di»t*nt, where they met other herds,
with herder* singing their lullaby in front

The story as they told it i* as follows:
“From us early as I can remember,” said
Ellen, the older of the two, “we lived In Au

very young we were put to work in the En
terprise factory, while our father was at work
iu the King mills. We were never allowed to
draw our own pay, but instead our father
drew it and spent moat of it for liquor. About
a year ago we were taken to Atlanta and after

“This happened only s fuw day* ago and on
last Sunday night we all set out to walk from
Houston county to Milledgoville, where father
expected to fiud work for us. AH night long
he made ue walk, carrying what little clothes
we had in a small bundle. On Monday ws
rested s little, but l.ot much. Wo kept com-

when we reached Macon. We didn’t intcud

“After that, we saw nothing of either father
or brother. They left tia where wo wero to

Both the little girls qre »«/ pretty. They

' FOR POLICE PROTECTION.
An Important Meeting In Vlnevllle Last
Tsvidsy Night.
last Tuesday night iu the Ylnevflle school
house a number of prominent citizens of that
imbnrh assembled for the purpose of concert
ing measures to remedy the defective sanitary
system of Vinevlllo. Judge Ountln was utado
chairman of the meeting and Sir. B. J. Holt
acted as secretary.
The awinbly decided to engage the services
of City Engineer llendrix to •'stimot* the cost
•f constructing sowers and to tuako surveys
for the purpose of determining a convenient
outlet.
The members of the assembly also decided
apply to the superior court for a charter
which will enable them to employ at least two
police officers, who shall to deputized by tho
sheriff of tho county.
The case of Missouri Barfield va. Mattie
Butler which was mentioned in yesterdays
Telegraph turned out to be very interesting.
It will ho remembered that the plaintiff in
this case is a negro woman who claims to
have been robbed iu the Liaborough church
in East Macon while in a trance, caused from
an excess of religious excitement. The rob
bery was alleged to have been committed by
tho defendant on Sunday morning and when
tho plaintiff first made her complaint to Jm>-
tico liron u she stated that she saw and felt
the offender whilo tho deed was being com
mitted but that she could neither more nor
call assistance. These statements were mad-
to Justice Brown on Mouday morning and
that magistrate issued a warrant for the ar
rest of the Butler woman.
The supposed offender was brought ioto
court, but tho case had to be continued on
sccruint of the absence of witnesses snfficicut
to corroborate the complainant’s statements.
Judge Brown issued ou Monday seven sub-
peuss for witnesses, all of whom wero. women,
aud awaited the developments which were
brought out yesterday morning.
When tho case was ualled, Missouri Bar-
field startled the court by adding to her pre
vious statements the fact that she waa first
led to believe that Mattie Butler committed
the robbery by what was told her by a fortune
teller whom she consulted in regard to the
matter. When questioned as to the truth ot
her first statement tho woman acknowledged
that she cculd not clearly distinguish who her
robber was and fur this reason she consulted
the fortune teller.
The sceress told her that she had been
robbed by a large fyt, “cltnnky” negro woman
and gave a description, which in the general
outline*, tallied with tho Butler woman’s ap
pearance. Wheu Missouri learned this, she
remembered that the defendant was near her
at the time when she was so violently at
tacked by religious fervor and heuce her aus
picious naturally rested ou Mattie Butler.
A number of witnesses testified to the fact
that the plaiutiff had consulted) the fortune
teller, but noue of them except two little girls
could throw any light on the robbery mystery.
These little girls testified first that Mattie
Btatler really committed the thft, but when
cross questioned thoy contradicted their own
statements in several instances and became
so tangled up in their testimony that it be
came evident that they knew nothing at all
about the case.
This convinced the judge that the plaintiff
had no real grounds for her complaints so he
sent Mattie home rejoicing and severely
shook the superstitious faith of Missouri in
fortune telling by dismissing the warrant.
This is the first case on record where the
story of a fortune teller ha* toon put in evi
dence in a court of justice and the novelty of
tho case caused a good deal of iuturost to bo
taken in the trial.

The constantly growing demand for Dr. Price’s
Cream Baiting Powder, the standard cream tartar powder
for forty years, is due to two causes.
FIRST:—The extreme care exercised by the manu
facturers to make it perfectly pure, uniform in quality, and
of highest raising power.
SECOND:—The recent investigations exposing the
fact that certain other brands of baking powder contain
ammonia and still others that were .found to contain alum.
These unscrupulous manufacturers are being found out,
and the consumers arc giving them a wide birth.
Nothing is left to chance in the manufacture of Dr.
Price’s Cream Baking Powder. Chemists are employed to
test every ingredient as to purity and strength. Hence,
its marvelous purity and uniformity. Each can is l* k ®
every other. It never dissapoints. BEST is ALWAYS
the CHEAPEST.
Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder is re
ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia,
Alum, or any other adulterant In fact, the
purity of this ideal powder has never been ques
tioned.
