W, Cobb "met up" with what might have been a fatal accident the past Week. Due to the rare presence of mind of Claude ; White we still have Mr. Coiib with us. Mr. Cobb bad assumed a Nap oleonlc attitude in the bed of his wagon box, and was "bearing down" j about tho rarity of the atmosphere, the splendor of the waving fields, and the cussedness of the no-see-ums. He had inadvertently left the lines on the ground, and the horses thinking the no soe-um discourse was for their benefit, "lit out". As they dashed by Mr White courage ously grasped the lines. The team circled the ranch throe times. All the while Mr. White was a close second. His legs being shorl ho soon lost the use of thorn, complet ing the remainder of the circuit on his North slope. Mr. Cobb, in the bed of the wagon box, was a busy man. When ho was not standing, he was sitting, and at times he was "culling" bolts and spikes. Bolts and BplkeB protudlng from the wag on box rent his being and his un dignified position "frittered" his composure. Tho spectacle finally run out its course in the bottom of a large ditch. The doctor expects Mr. Cotib to be out next week. Moral: Keep a Stiff line and a suf fer lip if you expect to miss life's shoals.
