in this city.
Ell Dorado Republican: We learn that
Mr. Harry Lewis lost about seven hun
dred sheep by the late cold weather.
The flock had just been sheared, were
turned out on the range and the cc'd
weather was too much for them. Som
other sheep men lost a few head bus
this is the Only case we have heard of in
which any great loss was sustained.
A new game of horse thief has been
invented at Ottawa. The parties work.
ing the racket are partners and engaged
in the horse business, and the other day
met a farmer from the country and asked
him to trade horses. After some con-
versation one of the traders got on the
farmers horse to try it and rode it away
and failed to return. The game is being
played quite extensively in eastern Kan
sas.

Wood has purchased the thoroughbred
Clydesdale stallion "King Byron" the

county, showing as good a pedigree as

Washington sold to A. G. Shultz six
yearling steers which averaged 800
pounds. Price, 4 cents, or thirty-two
dollars head-the price of fair two
year old. OF course they were in prime
condition. We do not remember to have
seen fatter steers of the same age, and
the price has undoubtedly paid Mr..
Washington well for his care and feed.
Osborne Farmer: Quite number of
fine horses are distributed around the
country, among which might be promi
mentally mentioned "Young Vulcan"

shaped black, and Levi Guess "Nero,"
a highly-esteemeda animal with a good
pedigree and record, are also among the
favorities.
A strange disease is attacking many
horses in the vicinity of Garrett. It is
pronounced by veterinary surgeons to
be spinal complaint. At the first at
tack, the symptoms closely resemble
those caused by poison. Then q sudden
collapse takes place, and in some cases
the animal is unable to move q muscle.
It is rarely or never fatal, and, if attend
ed to at once, a cure is usually effected
in weeks time, though in some cases it
takes six weeks to two months before the
animal is fit for use.
