William NJ. Beal, prominent stockman
of Edna, Mo-, who has interests in Texas,
is in the city and will visit various por-
tons Of the state with az eye TO bust
ness.
H C. Clark Of Dallas was in the cattle
center yesterday en- route home from j
visit to his ranches in Knox county. He
says the annual roundups will open up
in about fifteen days, and some have al
ready began this work in Knox. Cattle
are thin, he says, but from now on they
will take on flesh at a rapid rate.
Gatlin & Nicholson had ten cars Of cattle
wrecked and over one hundred killed, and
quite number wounded, on Tuesday at
Thurber, on the Texas and Pacific, notice
of which was made in these columns. Yes
terday the Texas and Pacific company,
through proper officials, settled with
Messrs Gatlin & Nicholson all damages re-
sulting from this wreck TO the full satisfac-
ton of the owners. This is indeed quick
work, and not the slightest inconvenience
was encountered by the shippers other than
4 short delay in placing the surviving cattle
at their destination.
The experimental feeding pens of Col.
Young and his associates are q succesS-SO
much so that the pens are being enlarged
and additional facilities for feeding larger
number of hogs and cattle than was At first
contemplated are being prepared. They
will feed 1000 hogs constantly, and as many
or more cattle. They are now fairly well
stocked, and two more loads of cattle viii
be put in to-day if they arrive. They are
feeding the brewery product, and Col.
Young says he can say, after four weeks
test he has given it, that it is feed that
cant be eXcelled.
The packing house yesterday shipped one
car packing house products to Wichita
Falls -
Messrs. Eldridge / Campbell of Wichita,
Kan, have established their Office at the
Exchange hotel at the Union stockyards.
This is "a large commission firm, and they
are handling packing house products eX-
tcnsively and are meeting with deserved
success. -
The second shipment, twelve cars OF the
twenty cars, 1900 ticrces, of packing house
lard leaves the packery to-day via New
Orleans for Liverpool direct, the other
eight cars having gone via New York.
These cars have banners on either side, the
entire length, on which are painted in large
letters. From the Fort Worth Packing
Company, Fort Worth-Goulard & Rouse,
New York, inspectors" This will attract
the attention of people in no small num-
bers while en- route to New Orleans and IS
certainly = great card. General Manager
Barnum said Yesterday: Inns IS one OF
the happiest days of my existence. We
have just completed the inspection of that
1900 tierces of lard for this Liverpool
shipment, and not one tierce was rejected
not one and Goulard & Rouse sent their
most experienced inspectors here to do
this work / have handled thousands
and thousands of tierces of lard,
and never before did l have a con-
Segment inspected but what out of
every $50 tierces from three to five would
be sidetracked. But this record is world
beater-not one tierce out of 1900 con-
demned-think Of it..
Both yards were well filled with feeders
again yesterday and last night, there being
quite a heavy movement sprung up again,
after slight let up since the 18th, to the
Northern ranges. AS predicted in these
columns, the cattle in this later movement
are in better condition than the early ship
