As the value to the public of ever.
stock horse must be determined b.
their produce, l will append a few
sales of Western Lads get, which
have come under my observation.
Mr.. Thayer has sold as. follows
One span Swear Odds to parties in lie
Seur, Mimi, for 400; one gelding s.
years old to w. H. Tomlinson, LeSeur,
MIMI, for 400; one Agar old to
Chas. w. Rohne, Minneapolis, fol
$500; one bay gelding 4-years old tc
parties in I.aSeur for 1920; one span 4
year Odds to j. B. Walker, Los An
geles, CAL, for $3.50.
E. Potter also sold to party in Los
Angeles, Cal, for 1900 one bay mare s.
years old. While writing the above.
| received a letter from 8. A. Sutton
of Kansas City, Mo-, stating that the
youngest one Of the three Western
Lad colts that J. G. Bennett took
from here to Kansas City, is three
years Of age this spring and owned
by one Richardson, who has refused
$l7OO for the colt, he is full brother
to Saul (the oldest one taken there by
DR.. Bennett). The one coming s.
years this spring, Mr.. Sutton writes
me $500 has been refused for him.
Saul, the oldest one coming 6-years
old, still owned by DIR. Bennett who
wrote letter last fall which was pub
lished in the Howard County Times,
wherein he claimed he could place
Saul in the $50 list any time he saw
fit to have him drove for such rec
cord.
1t will thus be seen that Western
Lad has succeeded in producing colts
that by their size, style, uniformity
and natural gait shown, find ready
purchasers at the foregoing prices.
Saul and Captain Webb are the only
two of Western Lads colts that have
been handled for speed. Captain
Webb with a little handling has trot
ted the slow track at Cresco in 2:48
and repeated in 2:49. Saul, as DIR.
Bennett claims can trot in $50.
