Kansas City TImes:-"Mr. Fletcher Cow
herd returned yesterday from a trip to his
ranch In northern Texas, whittier he went g
few days since to make personal investigation
into the extent Of damage caused In bis herds
by the severely cold weather of the winter
of the winter just closing. While absent he
saw not only his own cattle but he talked
J with q number of ranchmen from various
parts Of Texas, aud from all Investigations
made he Is convinced that the reports of the
havoc done among Texas cattle are a,toaeth'
er misleading, and the facts in the mattel
have been greatly exaggerated. He is con.
fident that the loss or located cattle will no
exceed more than 2 or 8 per cent, although
it may run up to 10 or 20 on cattle brought
up late in the fall. TIL greatest loss appear
to have occurred In central Texas.
l Mr.. Seth Mabry, who also made i recent ex
animation Of the matter does not think tn
loss throughout all Texas, on all kinds o
! cattle, will average more than Q per cent"
