At Gilmore, 10 miles South of Omaha, a
company has awaited a cattle " fettery."
They have expended $75,000 in the erection
of big stables. There are 3.750 stalls, and
bywinter they will have 5,200 smile. In
each stall they will place a" critter," and
they will ell be fed with food placed before
them through a system of pipes, and cooked

1,000 barrels of feed an hour. They will
ship in cattle from the Western Nebraska
ranches, and fatten them in these stalls.

asked how n uch meal or bran he gave his
cows, said he took a bushel and went along

TOM THUMB ON HIS HEAD.
Cunning Tricks of a Bright -Eyed Betty Eft.
• pliant.
There is great rejoicing in P. T. Barnum's
Winter quarters over the recovery of the
trick baby elephant, Tom Thumb, whose leg
was injured at the time of Jumbo's death,
The baby elephant feels as glad as anybody,
and his exuberance of spirits keeps Scott, the
trainer, ire a conatant worry. The plaster
had no sooner been torn off Tom Thumb's
leg than he waved his trunk arid stood upon
his head...kicking his heels in the air. The
baby next climbed on top of the tiger's oage,
and astonished those animate by leaping in-
to the air and turning a somersmalt with the
agility of a prefesaional tumbler. 'Ur/fort=
ately he fell upon his head, and his piteous
cries brought Scott to hie assitteme.
After drinking a gallon of beer the baby felt
better and deuced around the ring on his
hind legs to the mush: of a pining hand -
organ. Tom Thumb does not sleep as well
as he formerly did, and he chooses the dark-
ness of night for performing his anties.
The girtfle awoke one night to find the
Baby holding the hese and playing cold
water upon him. There came pretty near
being a how, but Mr. Scott roused himself
and put an end to the disturbance.
If the Baby's friskinews ocmtinues it is
thought that Mr. Barnum will be obliged to
confine him in ,a cage. Spott thirks, how
"
ever, that 'Tone Thumb is so everjoyed at
hie recovery that he naturally feels like
having some fan and will soon settle down
to the Staid life of a trick clown elephant.

with by Riley, he stated -Mat he preferred

A few demi before the day of execution
Riley managed to secure an opportueity for
Wiggins to break jell, which that worthy
improved with alacrity. The fugitive was
concealed for eight days in the cellar under
the floret Riley had eold 1 is saloon end
rpent all hie money to secure the escape of
Wiggins. He had hired a notorious °harem
ter named 13111 13eem to take the fugitive to
Evenston, Wy. T., on horseback, as from
that point he could. get East ir safety. On
the night when Bean W.18 to have taken
Wiggins away the latter aeked Riley to
give him his pistol, as he had only two of
his own and he wanted another for Bean,
whom he expected to fight for him if neces-
retry. Riley refused at first, as the pistol
was an old friend, but finally yielded to
Wiggins's importunities and banded himthe
weapon. The moment Wiggins got the pis-
tol he beocame almoet insane witb passion,
and, seizing Riley, thrust the muzzle of the
crocked revolver down the latter'e throat till
it nearly choked him. Before Wiggins
could carry out his threat to
BLOW TOE Imo OFF HIS PARTNER
Bean and others interfered, and Riley
made his eseaps. He at once went to his
lodgings'and, getting another pistol, rush-
ed back to the cellar, bee' Wiggins had set
out on his journey and tragedy was averted.
It subsequently transpired that Wiggins
was jealous of Riley, whom he euspected of
paying attention to his ertimorata while he
was hiding from the officers of the law in the
cellar. After eseapiog from Utah Wiggins
could not rest. He soon made his where
abeam known by several daring escapades,
and wan finally arrested and taken back to
&tit Lake. He again esexped and 'some
rare sifter he •Wa3 shot ia a row in New
Mexico.
'Riley moved to Nevada from Salt Lake

gambler and a hard case generally. He
finally descended on San Francesco, mad, in

now miming a term in an Esetern peniten-
tiary, opened the Snit bunco shop in Snl
