NICE CATTLE.-John Whistler Of the
Sac and Fox agency turned OF his beef
cattle this week. They are a nice 4,
smooth, even lot numbering four hun
dred and probably their equal will not
be seen at Red Fork again this year.
Some years ago Mr.. Whistler's was con-
sidered the second best stock Of cattle
in the territory, their supedors being
owned by Dean Brothers, who brought
in thoroughbreds. For time Mr..
Whistler had to bring in between fifty
and hundred bulls each year because
they died so fast. Now the gentleman
raises more than arc required for use OF
the herd and they are fully equal 10
the grades he shipped in. They are far
more hardy and thus In every respect
superior 10 those imported. Mr.. Whist
ler's brand appears this week in iti
proper placo-the CHIErrAir.
