Capt. r. b Hunt and family started from
here this week to their old home at Bur-
lineame, Usage county, Kansas, and in the
future will reside there. He has purchased
a comfortable home near the town, and has
secured half interest In a large feeding
ranch, and will continue to devote his time
10 livestock with his old partner. Barber
county is the loser by this move, for Capt.
Hunt and his family had many friends In
this county who seriously regret that they
could not remain. During his residence in
Barber county he has been president of the
Stockgrowers Association and holds the
position now; and no man could have fill
ed the position more acceptably.

These public sales OF fine cattle will soon
stop for this year, and those Of our ranch
men who have not already supplied them
selves with few good animals have one
more chance to be supplied. At Stafford,
Chase county, June llth and 18th, there
will be a sale Of 600 Shorthons, through
bred and high-grades, the property Of the
well known Prathers, Of Springfield, III.
These gentlemen stand high in the nne-
stock world, and they have An interest In
keeping up their reputation. No doubt the
Stafford sale will be n good place to get
barRalns I'm cattle.

WILDER +. Moore, OF the firm OF J. K.
Cuddy & Co, was here this week and told
OF a cattle trade he had just perfected: He
sold the 81 brand Of cattle, being held on
the OF range, something over 900 head OF
mixed stock, to r. @. Estill, Of Kansas
City, at the following prices: Cows with
calves, $40; dry COWS, $27; yearlings $40;
two-year-Olds, $50; three-year-olds $3s-
all to be counted out, and delivered without
a range. In payment Cuddy & Co. get lm-
proved real estate In Kansas City that pays
an annual rental Of $1,000. We should
say that these are good prices.

Geo. T. Lincoln, Of Clay county, Mo. Is
here looking for an improved and stocked
cattle ranch. lie says 1t Is no trouble to
find what he wants, but the prices asked for
land and improvements are away above
what he considers their true value-in many
instances third more being asked than the
property is worth. He says that SO per
acre Is too much foe land In this county.
MIR. Lincoln managed to have some smuse-
ment ont Of politics as managed in the old
Crisp district, when that was the battle
GROUND few years ago; and to one who
watched those fights, ne proves an interest

The Barber county outfits LEFT this week
for the Cherokee Strip roundups, and they
will try and have one or more men In each
division on the Strip. The cattlemen in
this county are not altogether satisfied with
the programme laid out by the Cherokee
Strip Live Stock association, claiming that
no publicity was given to the dates when
the roundup would be commenced, and
consequently no opportunity was given the
people not on the Strip, or in with the
large owners down there, to look through
the Ranges as they were being worked. For
Instance, under the present programme, all
that country east of the Hunnewell trail
and the Nez Perces and south Of the Salt
Fork Is to be rounded up and the strays
delivered at the Hnnnewell trail crossing on
Red Rock, June 1lth. But when is all of
that country to be worked9 Is what the
people up here want to know. AS before
remarked, our delegations started down
there this week; If the ranges have been
worked, they can only take such strays as
may have been driven to the central point,
and they cannot know to certainty that
there are not cattle left behind that they
are entitled to.
And so with the many other divisions
down there. We all know when the strays
are to be rounded up at the central points,
but we are left in the dark as to when the
ranges are to be worked. Cattle naturally
drift southeast from this section, going in
the direction the wind does and following
the course OF the principal streams. The
knowledge OF these facts makes our people
Interested In that southeast country.
There is one consolation, however: 1t is
cold day when Barber county stockman
gets leftl In getting all that belongs to
him, he Is a rustler.

A cattle trade involving 900 good,
clean cash was contaminated this week by
which Sherlock q Mllls disposed Of their
Interest In tho Salt Fork q Eagle Chief
pool to the Geneseo Cattle company, Wicks
Bros, and Schluppe & Ewell, members OF
the same pool. The cattle were sold range
count, and the superstition Is that there are
l,750 head OF mixed stock, and these were
run In, including the range and pool priv
ileges. at $S5 per head for everything brand
ed before this year. Considering that the
cattle are In pasture, the lease to which
runs for four years, and that It Is one Of
the best ranges on the Cherokee Strip, the
price paid was no more than the stock was
worth. The fact that the purchasers are
acquainted with the property they
all being large owners in the
same pasture, Is an indication that they are
satisfied to run cattle In the Territory.
