Boyd,s Cattle Speculation

Boyd OF Logan for aiding sundry Ia
boring men, chief Of whom are said
Boyd, his partner Mcknight and seve-
raj alleged Logan residents whose very
existence is questionable. In fact the
name Of J. H. Mcknight is the only
one that appears among the Logan
officers as q true and bona fdes-nanei
the name Of A, N Boyer probably be-
! ing an intended corruption Of H. n.
Boyd Lamb says that Boyer is a resi-
dent Of Lincoln county, a fact ~
which was omitted in the circular Of
denial hereinafter contained. More
over if this Boyer IS a well known cat
tie man Of Lincoln county as LAMB al
Ieges, why was Logan, Kansas, given
as his aadress9
The following circular Of this associ-
alton shows the magnitude of this
scheme which grew up in our county
with only the knowledge Of a very few
MUTUAL CATTLE ASSOCIATION OF
| EOTHwEsTERN KANSAS.
This association was formed for the
purpose Of enabling men Of moderate
means TO make Investments in q sure
and safe way and one that will insure
prompt and paying returns. The as
ISOLATION has paid up capital Of SlO,-
600, and unlimited range with good
/ water and Al abundance of fine hay

dollar of stock is invested in cattle, and

dred dollars share certificate is issued
for that amount. and entities the holder
Of the same to a division Of dividend !;
and the same certificate is q lien upon

piratiOn of six months any holder Of a

FACTS THAT CANNOT BE DISPUTED.
Despite the late spring the last divi-
5 dend declared a profit Of II per cent.
on every dollar Of stock.
Stock raising is one of the most i'm
j pOrtant industries in this or any other
country. The meat supply of the world
.
a. d business Judgment equal to that of
> the largest industries of the country.
The chief supply is drawn from the
great west, where soil, climate. luxuri-
ant grasses and other conditions arc I'M
3 surpassed.
- A moments reelection will show the
immense profit derived from stock,
when the increase OF cattle, as shown
by the state stock report, shows a profit
of 40 per cent and the average loss OF
stock 2 per cent, cost of keeping 10 per
cent. leaving a net profit Of % per cent.
And it is an unquestiOnable fact that
3 Western Kansas eXcells any state in the
b Union for cattle raising, from the sim
pie fact that they range the whole year,
as general thing, and the nutritious
buffalo grass is all that is required TO
raise them to a beef standard, and but
little attention is required to hold them.
? Western Kansas is fast filing up with
/ cattle men. with means Of from $500
9 to $4,000. and all are fast doubling
their Investments and replenishing
their eXchequer. And why should not
men OF less means have the Opportu-
nifty? One hundred dollars doubled is
: as good an investment for a man of
{ small means as $4,000 for a rich man.
