C.S Grindall weat east Sunday morn

intends buying between five hundred
and a thousand States cattle for his
Beaver creek ranch. He reported that

Messrs. Martin and Kccler recently
panned out about twenty cents in one
pan Of dirt mp the Flyer. This is excel
lent pay and if it holds out will make
first class diggings. a
There is a good deal Of uncertainty in
reference 10 the stocky yards to be built
here. They we're at first laid out on a
liberal plan and afterwards the corral
was contracted to 50x5O feet. This
was again changed: to hundred feet
square and now again the dimensions
are uncertain.
Rev. ]. B. Schaffncr preached again
last Sunday night at the rink. His
sermon was an eloquent one and well
deserving Of a larger audience. Probably
the reason that SO few attended was that
lit was doubtful if Mr.. Schaffner would
arrive. Hereafter there will be no doubt
as he has made arrangements to come
every Sunday evening. Hereafter also
there will be better music as his organ
will be in the rink. Let every one turn
out Sunday evening.
One Of the worst wrecks for small
one that it has ever been our lot to see,
occurred Saturday afternoon, four and-a-
half miles west of here. A steer thought
he was .as big man as the engine" and
came nearly proving it, the effect being
disastrous on both sides. The engine
and tender were completely disabled and
ditched, four empty freight cars were
badly demoralized and two more ran off
the track. C. S. Grindall, of the E S G
Beaver creek ranch, engineer White and
the fireman were in the cab and all
escaped unframed, though how they did
lit after seeing the wreck, is a mystery.
The loss will be about 81 GOO.
Levi Defebach came in Monday from
the bull roundup north of the track.
The bulls. were in splendid condition as
were all the cattle. There will be a
large calf crop, which may reach IS per
cent. The most encouraging thing
about the roundup was the few dead
cattle found. Only eight were found on
ranges over which about 5000 cattle
Craze. This again puts us all at sea in
reference to loss but it makes us all the
more certain that twill fall far below
three per cent. There isn't another
range in the United States that shows up
like the Bad Lands. al
