General.
Newsy Notes of Interest to the
= General Public.

A private letter was received here yes
terday from ]. N. Duncan, who was sent
to Colorado by stockmen Of this city to
look after cattle which have drifted from
the ranges in this territory. With round
up No. 9 he found twenty-five head of
Wyoming cattle and crossed them at
Green City to the north side of North
Platte, to be gathered by the round up
now working in that locality.
At River BENT, Col. Mr.. Duncan saw
there three men who had been sent by the
Stock Growers association of this territory
to work the round ups on the Arkansas,
south of the Kansas Pacific road. They
had found seven head of Wyoming cattle.
They report a scarcity of water but little
snow last winter, very light rains this
spring. the grass thin and poor and the
cattle very unlike those seen on Wyom-
ing ranges at this season Of the year.
Mr.. Duncan makes the same complaint
in regard to the range this year, in South
ern Colorado.
Dobyns & Go. will receive this morn
ing from Kentucky, two car loads of
Short horn bulls.
Charles Davis, who has a valuable
horse ranch on Green river, . little town
below Green River City, passed through
Cheyenne yesterday on his way home
from the east, with some fast horses
intended for his already well stocked
ranch.
Patrick Brothers, whose ranch is near
Fort Fetterman, have received a carload of
grade Hereford bulls and a carload of fine
brood mares. The stock will be for
warded to Rock Greek to-day and driven
from there to the range in Albany county.
B. S Lection, of Paris, KY, arrived in
the city yesterday with thirty-two head of
thoroughbred Shorthorn bulls, which are
en- route to the ranch of Beckwith g.
Quinn, on Bear river. These bulls are
thoroughbreds in every particular, and
were sired by some of the most noted
cattle in the United States. Mr.. Letton
has n of the largest thoroughbred stock
farms in Kentucky, and deals and raises
or breeds nothing but Shorthorns and Jer-
seys. He came personally with these
cattle to see that they arrived at their des-
t~ination safe and sonnd. He will leave
with them for Bear river over the Union
Pacific at 10 o'clock this morning. fe
1t is stated that DR.. Paaren, state vet
erinarian of Illinois, has returned from
his tour of inspection of the pleuro-pneu-
monia infected district of Missouri. While
he refused to detail the results of his trip,
as he had not reported to the governor,
enough was learned to show that the stu
alton in that district was not as bad os re-
ported. 1t is thought DR.. Paaren's re-
port will have the effect of modifying the
quarantine regulations existing in Illinois
against Missouri. In his trip to the quar-
antlne section in his W state, DR.. Paaren
was accompanied by the state veterinarian
of Wisconsin, and while the people of
Illinois are reported to be very much wor-
ried over pleuro-pneumonia in Missouri,
they SO thoroughly impressed the Wiscon-
sin veterinarian with their Indifference re
garding the disease existing in their own
midst that he decided to report to the gov
ernor of Wisconsin advising quarantine
against Illinois.
Governor Warren yesterday issued a
proclamation declaring the quarantine off
on Connecticut cattle, as the disease in
that state has abated, and cattle there are
in a healthy condition.
