People living on tho north ond
of. Yarn Sookiavenue wore rudely
awakened iybdnesd'ay night in)
the woo smsill hours bywHat tHey ;
at first supposed to bo a Cossack)
charge.rjudglrig froiii theBtrahge5
wild shri6ksf"but.whioh on inyea;
ligation thoy found to b6 a fight
between E: W. Borinott and an
iftripiJfwild'oat.
An eye-witness to tho fray re-
lated tho following aooount of it
to tho Texan reporter: "When!
I heard the awful ndise Jwhioh
Came from 'the direotion of Mr.
Bonnott'splace I ran to tho door
and sawjiEe wHole show in the
moonlight. TKe participants
were a rooster a wild oat. Mr.
Benneftaml agpornfhen'. And5
my J my! the musio they wereJ
making. It reminded me of a
picture I once saw ot a Christmas
danoe in Animal Land Mr Ben-
nott in his. night olothes looked
like a Willie Goat reared up on
his hind legs. He was waltzing
around with the rooster by the
tail while the wild cat had the
hen by the back of the neok.
And of. all the yelping and mow
ing andbtialling and squealing'
I eyer he'ard they were havincr it.
NbV and then they wouid ohange-
partners Mr. Behnett would grab5
the' hen and the wild oat would 1
hook on to 'the. rooster; And
something I fancied I could hear
the rooster orowQut? I.Swing.cor.-.
ners! It dumbfounded me !
knew that Bennetlwas a Metho-
dist and thatMethodista wouldn't
go to a dande soeptin' during
Christmas.. At last Icame to the
conolusioii tfiat he had feottenin-'
to the wrong jug and was out oft
a jag.
I put on my olothes went down
to the Boene of mirth and found
that the wild oat had tangled up
and; lost his partner. He was
now danoing the Indian death
.dance -with Bennett and had. torn
his night garments into: shreds
until they fluttered in the breeze
like tassels. ' I finally . got them
separated .and .Bennett told me
he was trying to" keep that pesky
qat from killing the rooster and
hen."
Mr. Bennett says the .fowls
vjere the property of Charley
Hartley and that. he. is going to
Have some new clothes at his ex
pense
na.
-Southwest Texan. Ozo-
H H. WisemSn is moving to
Buffalo Gap to engage in farm-
ing. He has not followed it
since coming to Abilene but was
formerly-engaged in it and thinks
he oan make it go here. We do
not doubt it as this is a country
that rarely fails on intelligent
industrious farmers.

But it has been suggested that a
word to parents' might be the
cause of somo of them oatohing
up with their boys and perhaps
stopping their dangerous sport.
t is not an infrequent news it-

somewhere has broken an arm or
a leg while swinging on to a pas-
sing yehiole and the item may
appear in these columns any day

The freight trains are not
boarded so often as formerly
thanks to tho vigilanoe of the
officers and perhaps ah ordinance
covering vehiolos. might help
them to provqnt so muoh of the
