SHOOTING BV WHOLWAIK. Forty Riflemen Employed bym CmtWaf uta Planter to Herd WUdJCeeee. Sou Frencleco Coll. Various methods have been devised of exterminating wild geese without avail, until geese-herding bos become a profession as distinct as herding or trapping. In the early winter the geese appear in the grain counties in myriads, traveling about in vast flocks. Their hunger is insatiable and the uew wheat is rapidly destroyed. Dr. H. J. Glenn, whose rancho in Colusa county covers most of the arabie land in that county, numbering some 75,- 000 acres, or nearly twelve square miles, expends about $10,000 a year in herding his geese. He recently purchased in this city for the present season between two and three thou sand worth of cartridges, about 250,- 000 in number, of 44-calibre. He has constantly in his employ while the wheat is growing, about forty rnou, all of them mounted und nearly all armed with Honry rifles and field glases, who patrol bis property du ring the day and on all moonlight eights. These men are regularly organized into a patrol guard. They discover with thoir glasses the flocks of geese, which at a distance of from three to four hundred yards look like a blan ket spread over the green wheat, and they thereupon plant a bullet right iu the middle of the flock. This unex- l>ected visitation sets the flock on the wing, and the geese herder follows them, keeps planting bullets among them until they rise to a great height, iikI, disgusted, leave the vicinity.— Few geese are killed, the object being to keep them on the wing and couse- queiitiy oil the wheut field. Those that are killed are carried off and suoru of their feathers, but the reve nue from them amounts to little. On 1>i . Glenn’s rancho about 8,000 car tridges aro used iu a day, which rep- leseuts about 20,000 geese daily put to flight. Oftentimes a tkiek fog blows iu, and this appears to be the'favorite time for the geese, and they devour the wheat with great energy. The herders then, foarfnl of shooting each other, aro almost baffled, bnt when the fog rises tho flocks are put to flight and for boars thereafter the uir i> tilled with feathers and geese, and Glenn's rapehu resounds with the clat ter of rifles and tho (rightoued cries of the persecuted fowls. To pay his men, buy ammunition and maintain horses, costs Dr. Glenn some ton thousand dollars per an num, but it saves bis wheat, which yields $100,000, as without tho geese herders half would bo destroyed. The borders become very expert in their business and are generally good shots uud capital horsemen. INDIAN ANTIQUITIES. Tue “Next of Kin" Dodge.—Tho stupendous swindle, known as the International Agency, with bead quarters at Birmingham, England, which advertised that next of kin and other heirs for $25,000,000 were wanted, has been broken up. Such common uamos as Wood, King, Brown, Mason and Smith, wore men tioned, nnd many people bearing these nnmes, induced to make depos its with tho company, have lost thou sands of dollars. A singular action was recently brought in Baugor, Maine. The pub lishers of a history of FenoLscot coun ty Reported one of the attorneys living iu the district as having died aDd gave him a long nnd complimentary obituary sketch. The alleged dead man lias given evidence of his posses sion of vitality by bringing suit agrinst the publishers, laying his dam ages at $5,000. Thirty years is said to la- ti e life of a locomotive. Possibly they would live longer if they did not Kinoke so much. Tho builder who helped Lafayette to luy the corner stone of the Bunker Hill monument, fifty-seven years ago, still woiks iu Bostou. Valuable Addition* Secured for the Omaha Academy ol Sciences, The Omaha Bee. About 11 o’clock yesterday the men at work on “Stephenson’s dump” ran into an Indian bone-yard and exhum ed all that is mortal of a squaw who once roamed up and down the valley of the.Missouri and over the prairie to the West The relics were care fully gathered, and ornament the broad window of Jim’s private office in the stable. They are numerous, and literally embrace “sticks and stones and a dead squaw’s bones.”— The anatomatical collection, however, is complete. For instance, if the tan colored “Daughter*of-the-Mule,” or whatever her sobriquet was, was here and saw and felt her bones taken up and shaken np, she couldn’t gnash her teeth if she was raging, for there is only one jaw to gnash. Of, if she wanted to snatch the offender bald headed, she’d have to go it one-hand ed, for there are only bones enough to cobstruct one arm. There is some jewelry, but Max Meyer, or Huber man, or Edliolm, or somebody else, needs to polish it up brfore it can be presentable. An inventory of Jim’i collectio i would be about like this: One skull, Bones, Beads, Buckskin thong (“petrified,” Ste pbenson says, but his cheek must be petrified to think anybody will be lieve it.) More bones, The jaw aforesaid, with all the teeth that the buck hadn’t knocked out when he came home to dinner, and found the squaw had cooked the same old eutrails. More bon os, The top of her powder flask. (Ste phen is authority for this, ) An ear-ring, with the lobe of the ear resembling tanned hog-skin, A few more bones, A Indie wherewith she used to serve dog bouillon, Still more bones, A bracelet, Small piece of bone, A baby. This article is rnado of wood, roughly carved. Next week StepheiiHon will claim it is a petrified pappoosc, Miscellaneous bones, Miscellaneous jewelry, Dirt, Etc., etc., etc., This completes tho show. Mr. Ste phenson says the dump contains more graves, which he will open and deavor to supply tho enriosity dornaud as fast as tho graders get to them A Han Sold for n Dollar. Richmond (Ky.) Register. A stunt-looking young fellow, who bore a marked resemblance to a thor ough-bred tramp, was put np to the highest bidder iu front of tho court house Iasi Monday, and sold under charge of vagrancy iuto slavery for one year. He brought $1, and the Brookstowu auctioneer found it bard to reach that point. Had the vagrant not bid fifty cents for himself, and gotten up a sort of rivalry, he would most likely have been bnocked off for forty-five cents. Mr. William J. Col lins was the purchaser, and said he would set the poor follow to work on the railroad. Briug on some more tramps. “The Pnnoe of Wales," says Ed mond Yates in the London World, “must bnve n wardrobe as large ns Mr. Irving, or any other theatrical star, and must be quite os much in need of a ‘dresser.’ At Portsmouth he appeared the first day in a volun teer uniform; at the review he was in the uniform of the civil seryico corps; the same night I saw him at Govern ment House in the red tunic of a gen eral officer. He can, on occasions torn out os an admiral, a guardsman, a hussar, a Highlander, a Ulan, or in the flowing robes of on Indian rajab, possibly of a Chinaman or Jap.
