Joe Haliigan, who was over around Mt. Ayr Wednesday, trying to get track of some cattle there informs us that the matter is still very uncertain, and says they have SIO,OOO or $12,000 involved. We understand that they have got track of some 100 or more cattle, which they believe they can recover upon, but as beforp stated, the matter is still in a much mixed and uncertain condition.

This clever team is starring this season in “A Woman in the Case” and comes to the Ellis Opera House Sat. Dec. Bth.
