Cattle Losses In the West.

CHICAGO Feb. 13-According to a morning
paper it does not appear that the cattle losses
during the present winter in Texas, Kansas, Col
orado, Dakota and Wyoming have been heavy.
The reports from Texas show losses of Der
cent. in Kansas the number frozen during the
late fearful blizzard Is put at 2 500, instead of
900, as has been stated heretofore; in Colo
RADIO the losses are not over per cent and in.
Wyoming per cent The advices from Texas
say the only section that reports any consider
able loss in the State is in the Northern tier of
the Panhandle counties. where the feed was
meagre owing to prairie fires last autumn. The
most serious losses reported are in the ranges
south of Fort Elliott. The loss is put at 90 per
cent Investigation brings it down to 30 mar
cent as the greatest possible loss

feet hailstorm of lead. Not less than hundred
dead bodies lay close around that brass piece of
