Jack Vance, a cowboy from the ranch • of the' Butte Creek Cattle company, wals on trial at Alliance, Neb., on a charge of shooting at a brakeman on the Bering - ton railroad with intent to kVA him. He , had received hi pay a few days before and was engaged at the time of the „ shooting in the picturesque pastime. of • painting the county.red. Vance veherneptly denied any intent to perforate the brakeman. He told the court that, while it was true that he did -take out his revolver and shoot after the brakeman had pushed hire off the train, he was merely giving a prearranged sig- nal. He and a -friend had been down the road a few miles and wanted to ride back -to the nearest station to the ranch. Real- izing that if they were found by any of the train crew they would be put off, they 'had arranged that if one was put off the 'train he should notify his partner by fir-. Ing his revolver once: The trainman, with visions of what he -firmly believed was a narrow escape from death, shook his head, and the judge. looked unbelieving.Vance's cowthoy -friend corroborated the story, but, seeing that his tale tailed to receive credence, -the defendant asked the eourt to please :step outside.

Vance pulled out his revolver and, holding a postege stamp between the fingers -of his left hand, eljpped off each corner in succession. Next he asked a • spectator to suspend a hickory nut from a thread. Walking off 30 feet he wheeled . .and at the first shot cut the thread. Tak- ing six tacks he placed them loosely in a piece of wood. This he placed against a post 25 yards away. BorroWing 4 watch from a bystander, he opened the case for , . a mirror, shot with his. back to the mark and drove each tack into the wood with - out a miss. • The braketnan had been lookieg on in open mouthed wonder.

A Cowboy conquered the Three Winged Irma Monster That Weitid Have Wrecked the •Shixr After the crew Hod Failed to Subdue It. During the gales of last winter more than 20 tramp steamers were lost. Ten were never heard from after leaving port. More than 150 broke their shefts. In over n score of ittstances they also lost their propellers and were saved from being overwhelmed by sea anchors, which held their heads to the combers, and a liberal use ef oil, which, smoothed down the crests. Some of the underballasted tromps from British ports, which in pleasant weather make the voyage to Sandy Hook in. 15 days, were 35 days and 40 days breasting the great winter. gales. Two of them rolled their funnels out, and another spent 15 days eitle4i3at- tempting to make her way througii the crested billows or wallowing in the trough. Clifillike waves, breaking in cat - erects over her weather bow or leaping aboard amidships, carried away all her lifeboats. She rolled at an angle of near- ly 45 degrees, the rolling period being 12 or 15 times a minute, for hours and hours together. During these 15 days the weary skipper found, when he had a chance to make an observation, that the ship had made 140 knots leeway, In this tumultuous period very few of the officers were able to eet any sleep, except the merest catnaps. The food was hard- ly fit to eat through bad cooking, the cook being unable to work properly, and the water, impregnated by the searching brine from Invading seas and spoondrift, did not do much toward quenching thirst. The perils of the underballasted trawls, steaming 'to the westward with head gales lashing the seas into fury, furnish the marine reporters ef neerly every At- lantic seaboard city every winter is;ith • CO1001129 of vivid stories. The tramp skipper Is undaunted •by the appalling dangers of his underpaid profession. The business of following the sea is the only one he knows anything aboot, and he must either riskstay,vation on shore or boldly face the' manifold dangers of a ' • rnver of the oceans 'of the world, which little notes the hiss of a tramp steamship here and there. When a tramp skipper loses his job -he never gives it up -there are a dozen er more applications for if despite its perils and its meager pay. All the smaller tramps that visit ports without facilities for providing or repair- ing machinery carry, usually on the main deck aft or between sleeks, a spare pro- peller. There have been several instances In which tramps with these extra propel- lers . have just escaped destruction in heavy weather. A little British tramp that came into New York from the Med- iterranean several years ago had a spare propeller made fast between decks aft. One night, when she was within a few days of Sandy Hook, plunging and roll- ing in a cyclone, the propeller broke from •its lashings and began thundering about the deck. The (wily illumination aboard ship was by means of flickering kerosene lamps. The skipper and several oe his crew went down into the gloomy space between decks and made an effort to check the erratic flight �f the three wing- ed iron monster. They were armed with wooden and Iron bars and pieces of dunnage, which they tried to use as levers. It was difficult to keep the ship's head up in the swell. She persisted in dropping off, and every time she rolled the demon of a propeller rum- bled across the steel deck to port or star- board, threatening to smash through the ship's side. The skipper sent one of his - men to the bridge to tell the officer in charge to try to keep the ship's; head up, • tne ovemen sInc -propeller being Iess dangerous while the ship was pitching, but she wouldn't anewer her helm. The. mass of,. metal. stoptied at times just. long enough to allow the skipper and hie ad - 'venturesome men: to get within reach of it. •Thea it stirred like a sentient thing and appeared to springat them. They saved emse yes from injuryby jumping aside or leaping over it. At last, as the ship lurched heavily to port. the propeller whirled down the in- clined deck and snmshed against the side. One of its blades went through a plate. It hung for a moment against a rib of the shin; then, loosening itself as the ship rolled 'and heeled to starboard; it bowled athwarbihip again. A fountain of sea water spurted through the hole made' by the propeller blade as the tramp rolled to port again, arid the propeller slid that way. A few more holes in the ship's aide would have caused her to take In so much water that she would have been in danger of foundering, and the skipper began to wish that the Propeller had gone all the way through apd drop- ped into the sea. There was one passenger aboard the ramp, a stout young fellow who had ex- perience as a cawboy on the Texas plains. He had heard the boming of the propeller, and he went to the skipper and volunteered to check it In its mad course. At first it revealed itself °My dimly to }Ain, huges-batlike. shadows:tinder .the _ faint and unsteady glow of the kerosene lamps. After the cowboy had become somewhat accustomed to the gloom and) had spent a few moments dodging, the propeller he took a lasso, which he made of a hawser, Rod with the unerring aim of nil expert bull puncher he rung one of the litieles with the noose. He made a turn with the ether end around a winch, about amidships, and the propeller was araulued Then the skipper and his men fell upon it as if It were a living thing, end with beams and bars and chains and ropes they mule it so fast that all the storms if the north Atlantic could not have broken It 11050 emirs ,. irerecarifflt 7 trn CLINTON NEW ERA Ile Best or Advice.

In fact I was in a very sorry condition. I suffered in this way for eons° time.
