EOLlU8 anu 4GcL11S ABOUT LAtlAl8t4s SGOCAa
Westmoreland Period: The first car
load of hogs shipped from FOstOria. the
new town just started between Butler
City and Olesburg, was shipped a day or
so ago.
Fredonia Citizen: Eben Sprigg, of Prai-
RE township lost four head of horses
and four calves by a stroke of lightning,
during the storm of last week. The an
finals were standing near a wire fence,
along which the electric current ran for
quite distance.
Medicine Lodge hlder: A prominent
st. Louis physician has purchased a farm
in the eastern part of this county, and
will stock it with young heifers, and
from these, after proper innOculatiOn, he
will obtain sufficient vaccine virus to
supply the whole country.
Manhattan Republic: Last week, Bill
q Burnham sold Young GOmpachi to Mr..
Halves, of Washington county. The bull
was put into a freight car and tied, the
door being left open. By some means
the animal heightened out the rope and
jumped out Of the car; the rope remained
securely tied, and poor GOmpachi was
dragged to death. Discovering the acct
dent, the purchaser returned to Bill &
Burnham's and purchased another bull.
Eureka Republican: Mr.. g. A. Thrall
last week sold seVenty-hVe head of three
year-Old steers at $3.50 per hundred, each
steer averaging 1884 pounds. This
would bring him in the neat little sum
Of Sc, 534. The figures are too tempting
to comment upon. Our informant stated
that this gentleman had one hundred
and twenty-eight coal black pOlled calves,
which he could liken to nothing but
drove of great OVergroWn Berkshire hogs.
Dodge City COaO5Oy We met Mr.. Chas
Z. Carney, son of Ex-Governor Carney,
in the city. He has ranch of about q
600 head of cattle in this county. Gov
ernOr Carney has four sOns-One a law
yer In LeavenWOrth, one a large stock
man in Montana, one stOckman near
Great Bend, in this State, and the fourth
our neIghbor, all prosperous, honorable
men. The father was a pioneer, and the
war Governor of Kansas, and we are
/ glad to know that his name is so perpet-
uated by such worthy sons.
Manhattan Republic: Recently, Mr.. A.
/ D. Ellis discovered that a heifer in his
/ herd had a sore on her nose, and as he
/ feared it might lead to something seri-
| GUS, having some time ago had q steer
/ that was affected with a big jaw, he got
/ Drs. Patee and BlAchly to 90 to his ranch
ana look at the animal Inc gentlemen
pronounced the case caries-it had two
/ decayed teeth. Dr. Blachly extracted
them and the heifer has not since been
troubled. Probably there are many cases
Of carries with cattle which arises from
unsOund theeth, and are not so bad as is
often supposed
Kansas City DroUer's NelCs: A shipper
struck big scheme in the line of wet
ting down" hogs. A carload of hogs
came into the yards, having three gunny
sacks filed with ice nailed to the inside
of the roof. The melting ice furnished
! cool, fresh ice water for the backs of the
/ pOrkers. 1t is evident some of our Kan
sas shippers are thoroughbred Yankees.
/ FL Dorado Times: This thorough bred
/ Yankee" was Mr.. Levi Chuders, who
/ guarantees the ice to do the business and
/ take the hogs through in excellent shape,
amply paying for the outlay in ice. The
! ice In big chunks Is slung across the car
/ in gunny sacks which prevent its rapid
melting. 1t is a paying as well as a hu-
name measure and our stockmen should
try it.
