I offered a prize to the one who would lasso a buffalo bull in the quickest time There was no discrimination as to sex. and Miss Carter became one of the competitors. It would have done you good to see her go to work.

At the given signal her pony, which had been thoroughly trained to the work, dashed forward, and in less time than it takes to tell it, she had one of the largest animals in the herd struggling at one end of the lariat, the other being fastened to her saddle horn.

She does not seem to understand the meaning of fear, and can ride any broncho on her father's ranch." Miss Ilattie Carter is the wife of Mr. Ooimfrv Produce Solicited. Xorth of Denot.

There upon the district court issued a writ of mandamus" Fo compel them to make a full and complete canvass, but before the writ could be served upon them they left the state, some going to City and others to Colorado, and remained concealed to prevent service being made upon them. At the general election, November 6th, the people placed a United states over the board at Lakin, which prevented them from committing any fraud, and the People's Ticket was elected.
