The Omaha Republican, the Chicago
Daily Stock Journal and other eastern
papers have lately stated that the
vast herds of cattle which Craze on
Wyoming's thousand hills have re-
Gently been terribly depleted by the
effects of heavy SHOWS and extremely
cold weather. The editors of the papers
mentioned have COMPOUNDED Colorado
and Wyoming. Colorado cattle have
suffered greatly and died by hundreds
from the causes mentioned, but we
know whereof we speak when we say
that the losses of cattle in this Territory
from these causes have not exceeded
one hundred head during the present
winter. Our snow storms have been
light, and the snow has disappeared so
rapidly that the splendid feed of our
vast grazing grounds has not been COW
cred up or injured. Wyoming cattle
are to-day in fine condition, and our
stock men feel no anxiety whatever in
regard to their safety and comfort.
