Mr.. NJ. e.. Lamb received yesterday a
letter from the Chicago firm of G. F. Rey-
nolds & Co., which stated that the cattle
market vas stronger. Quite a number of
good ones from Texas are at market.
Prices are 30935c higher than last Fri
day. The fever scare is over at the Chi
cago yards.
Along the line of the Union Pacific cat
tie are still green. In Northern portions
Of the Territory the grass is curing SPLEEN
didly and the stock will soon be ready for
market. The Spring was backward
throughout Southern Wyoming and the
shipments will therefore be later from
those ranges.
Mr.. Walter Newton, Of the Middlesex
Company, arrived from the AK ranch,
on Horse Greek, yesterday. The range
cattle in hat region are in splendid con
dition. States cattle, however, are not so
good. The grass is curing rapidly and
the beef round up will be held in about
three weeks, although the quarantine law
may cause a holding off.
Mr.. F. NJ. Hardman of Texas is in the

terday regarding the cattle near Fort
Robinson, to inspect which DIR. Hopkins
left on Wednesday. Itis stated hat the
sick stock are trail cattle en- route to the
ranges, but by whom owned, or the size
of the herd, are matters which cannot be
ascertained at the present writing.
An exchange says that all over the
Eastern part Of Colorado cattlemen com
plain of the wild horse nuisance. The
wild horses get among the loose saddle
stock and lead them off where they be-
come lost to their owners. The loss from
this source IS becoming a matter of SO
much importance that stockmen favor
hunting down and killing all the wild
horses on the plains,
j. C. Abney at his ranch twelve miles
East of the city, recently set some men at
work digging a well. They went down a
distance of seventy-four feet when they
struck a solid bed of rock In drilling
through the rock they struck an immense
vein of pure cold water which at once
filled the well to the depth Of six feet.
Only four miles from that point another
well was sunk a distance of 276 feet before
water was found.
JaHl Withrow has receiveda letter
from Fisher, Evans x Co., from which

price Of range cattle has reached a point
40 to so per cent higher. All parties IN
terested in the trade feel better. Range
cattle from Wyoming and Nebraska will
sell on their merits Two small droves
from Texas had symptoms Of disease dur
ing the past ten days. It is all over now,
however, and the scare has entirely
ended"
George A. Dunlap, the well known
commission man stated to a LEADER re-
porter yesterday that his advices from
Chicago state that the fever scare is over.
A letter received by him from Wood
Brothers advises him to run cattle as soon
as fat and not to wait for the late market.
The letter concludes as follows. THE
fever will not interfere with the market.
We have advised shippers who can do so
Il make the Union Pacific instead ofmak-
ing the long drive to the Northern Pacific. .
