fm MISSING STEERS
One Living <ind Other Dead After
Months of Starvation
'Two siet*r> which escaped last June
iuun small A Glasbrenner were found
yesterday. a living skeleton and a dead
,);n . near MclMterson s ranch, about
th oe miles and a halt from town. A
tew roil> trom the barren sand ridge
whore the animals had spent months
0 starvation lax a stretch of tine grass
upon which they could have fattened
indefinitely.
The dead steer had been defunct at
1 **aM txvo months, hut his appearance
testified that starvation had played a
large share in Ins taKing-ofT. if it was
not wholly r* sponsible. Apparently
hoth anunals nuo subsisted tor a long
time on tin* hark oi willows, as the
d ees plainly indicated. No grass is in
tot* immediate vicinity', although plen
tiful a quarter ot a mile away.
li is supposed that the live steer re
mained near ids defunct companion
through unreasoning sympathy. This
easily accounts for his staying after
he other's death hut it cannot be ex
plained why both remained on a barren
.and dune after traveling several
les. instead of continuing on in
search of heir natural food. Both
steers w«*n !.»i when turned out the
as! oi May.

Takes Involuntary Sea Bath
.(•II Mansell, a well-known young
man employed in the railroad unices,
last night made a misstep at the outer,
od»e of the viaduct between the two j
wharves and the air gave way beneath
hint, letting him drop into the water. j
Men on the wharf promptly threw him 1
a line and lie was drawn up slightly
damp, but reasonably happy, and pio
foundly grateful to the bystanders j
whose prompt action terminated his;
cold hath so quickly.
