According to reports the farmers of

Galveston (Texas) News: The grass
10 very short west of San Antonio river, and
some cattle are already reported as dying.
Grass on the prairies east Of the river is pref

this Geld weather is very unfavorable to the
stock interests, as the cattle prefer to starve
in the bottoms to hunting food on the bleak
prairies, exposed to northers.
