Salt Lake, Oct. 23. Utah sheep men who had so much trouble with the Idaho authorities early in the summer over the question of grating Utah sheep in Idaho, have begun suits in the Third district court to recover damages. There were nine suits filed in all, eight of them for damages to the flocks and one for malicious prosecution and damage to character. The aggregate amount of damages claimed is $34,47. With the exception of the com plaint of Shafer, the allegations are all similar, and state that on or about July 12, 1901, the defendant un lawfully took possession of flocks of sheep belonging to the plaintiffs and grating on the public lands of Oneida county, Idaho, and that by reason of the action many of the sheep died, and strayed, many Iambs were prema turely born and a large amount of wool was lost.

Asaaalaa Story of ta Fasaoaa Tesa Waea Fat 1st h Maate. Gen. Sam Houston of Texas was the most picturesque figure la the Senate during my first years of service, at the capltol, writes Galusha A. Grow In the Saturday rost Like Benton, he was very fond of young men, and soon came to count me aa "one of the boya. Only those who were youngsters In the '40s can realise the Interest people felt In Houston In the days when his part In the struggle for the Independence of Texas was stlU fresh In the public mind. Visitors to the Senate chamber Invariably asked to have him pointed out to them, and they were never dis appointed In their hero, for he wns large of frame, of stately carriage and Uljrulfled demeanor and had a lionlike countenance. No passage In Houston's career was nobler than the heroic ataud against disunion which marked Its close, while of his kindliness of nature and gener ous helpfulness to those In distress one could recall stories sufficient to flU a volume. Near Quincy, III, there was a stretch of country known as the "Indian tract," to which Houston held tlUe, a fact -many of the settlers thereon, a careless pioneer brood, failed to search out One of them called upon Wil liam A. Klchardson. long a member of the House from the Qutncy district and subsequently a Senator from his State, confided to him that be had Inadver tently settled upon 100 acres of Hous ton's land and that all he was worth stood In Improvements on It He want ed Klchardson to see Houston and make the best terms that he could. Richardson upon his return to Wash ington told Houston the story and ask ed what he would take for a quit claim deed to the 160 acres. "What sort of a man Is this constitu ent of yours who has blundered upon my land?" asked Houston. "A good, square, honest man," was the reply. "When 1 turn him off my land I reckon he and his family will be beggars?" Richardson nodded. "What's this farm worth now?" asked Houston. Improvements and all, about $15,- 000." was the response. "What waa the bare place worth when yon fellows went on It?" queried Houston. "About $5 an acre; $800 In all," an swered Richardson. "Good fellow, this man of yours. Richardson?" This after a moment's thought. "Best in the world," said Richardson. "Tell him to send me S00 and I'U make him a deed." In due time the SSOO reached Wash ington In the shape of a New York draft Richardson sought Houston. who, having executed a deed, took the draft and indorsed It "You say this man of yours Is a good fellow?" he asked, thoughtfully. "Couldn't be a better one," was the emphatic answer. "Send him back this draft and tell him Sam Houston has changed his 1 mind. What can yon bny a good sad die horse for In that country?" He was told that $200 would do It "Well. tnen," said Houston, "write to your friend and tell him to buy a first-class saddle horse, about 4 years old. and keep him for me. When Congress ad journs I will go home with you and ride the horse down to Texas." Without delay the man In Illinois re ceived back his draft and bought a saddle horse, the best he could find. Just before adjournment Houston sought Richardson. "You say the fel low who's got my horse Is a tiptop good man?" Richardson again declared him one of the best In his district "Well,' said Houston, with a sigh, "I should have liked first rate to see him and also my horse, but as affairs turn out must go straight to Texas. When you get home go over and see this man and tell him to sell the horse and do what be pleases with the money. And, by the way, Richardson, I wish yon would write and tell me If It was a good horse or not" The Usurper. 1 1st don't like my sister, an' I wisht sh'd go away, My sister ain't bin her long, cos She only cum t'day.

A London medical journal says the English metropolis Is possibly the most liiconvenleut and most untidy city of Europe. The streets are either muddy, slushy or dusty; they are littered with straw, cabbage leaves, newspaper post ers and omnibus tickets; they are con stantly being grubbed up for some rea son or other; barrels of beer, coals and other goods are delivered across the footways at all hours of the day. So long as London Is governed by, or rather is dependent for Its due regula tion upon, a number of bodies all inde pendent of each other, so long will nuisances of various kods continue.
