No casualties of either cattle or sheep

The great epidemic scare IS ended,

scientifically investigated the matter.
The Assistant Secretary of the Colorado

Mr.. Henry Gcbhardt, late proprietor
of the Agate herd on the line of the
Kansas Pacific road, said to be the editor
of the Record that he thought that the
entire losses of cattle in the State up to
date would not exceed 81 per cent
The first drive of cattle from Texas de
signed for Colorado will start from Gains
vile on-the LIST of April. This will be
the advance herd of the Messrs. Pryor
Brothers. They will arrive in Southern
Colorado on or about the middle of
May.
Mr.. Henry Sturges, at one time pro-
prietor of the Trinidad Ners, embarked
in the cattle breeding some three years
ago. We learn by late reports that he
has just sold his cattle, ranches and
brands to Mr.. Lenhardt, of the southern
metropolis. 1t is understood that Mr..
Sturg es has made more money in the
short time he has beenin the cattle bust
ness than he had before made in twenty
years of newspaper life.
Young Mr.. 0gelvie, of Weld county,
son of the late Earl of Airlie, has a cargo
of Scotch cattle now lying in quarantine
on the sea coast. They will go forward to
Colorado on or about the LIST of May.
The Earl of Airlie was the Scottish no
bleman who organized the Prairie Cattle
Company. The family in their native
country have been engaged in pastoral
pursuits for the last century. and have
spent fortunes in the improvement of the
breeds of cattle.
A very remarkable circumstance has
occurred out on the ranch of the Akron
Cattle Company, of New Mexico. Jo-
seph Fuss, foreman of the ranch, a few
days ago purchased a COW and a calf from
a Mexican who lived in the mountains.
When they were delivered, he discovered
that the supposed calf was not an infant
lie bovine, but a b~lack-tailed fawn, which
followed the cow around and drew sub
s~istance from her udder as if she were its
mother. The COW mothers the fawn and
makes as much ado over it as if she were
its natural mother, instead its being an
adopted nurseling
j.. II. Sanders, a member Of the Cattle
Commission of the Treasury department,
and proprietor of the Chicago's Breeders,
Gdzette, has answered an argument made
by Emory Storrs against the passage OF
the Pluro-P Pneumonia bill now pending in
the Senate. Sanders defends the com
mission from the attacks made by Storrs,
and in turn states that the recent false re-
ports of the prevalency of foot and
mouth disease in different sections of the
country, originated with u~nscrupulous
combinations of cattle dealers of which
Storrs is a representative.
The Greeley Court is now occupied in
hearing the case of the people against
Samuel Tottoco, of Rawlins, Kansas
who was indicted by the Weld county
Grand jury for stealing a steer belonging
to d. NJ. Holden, of FL Paso county, anG
selling it to a section house along the
Burlington line as buffalo meat last 0cto
Der. The prosecution alleges hat TattocC
stated to the section loss that the meat
which he had dressed, was that of a bNc
falo and that it was afterward discov,
cred to lie that of a steer belonging tC
Holden. The trial is exciting some inter.
est in Greeley among the cattle men.
