! San Angelo Standard: Charles Malloy
of the Malloy Cattle Company was in the
city yesterday. He has just sold to J S.
Andrews of Dallas $50 calves at Sc and
| ITO yearling heifers at 81. This is the
| best price we can remember calves sold
for in many years. Mr.. Malloy refused
| SO for his Hereford calves. He also re-
ports that Mr.. Andrews bought $50 twos
and threcs from ] f Dustin at Sl2, and
that Mr.. Dustin sold to \. A. Ingram
| 400 culled sheep at 81 per head.
Thus the San Angelo Standard views

| journed last week and from the returned
| stockmen points are obtained to lead one
| to believe that crooked work on the part
| of the beef combine was done. Cattlemen
who had previously been very outspoken

senate committee Topped completely over,

suddenly went home without going near
the meeting. The inference is that the
''Big Four with their usual crushing
power, were present at St. Louis to see
that their ill-gained interests didn't
| suffer.

| 900 head carried through on alfalfa,
which plant grows in the greatest luxuri-
