Sioux Indian Reservation to Chicago.
The first shipment was made few days

Missouri River and Chicago Is limited
TO twenty-five hours, and many OF the
trains have made the run In less time.
TO transport this immense herd over
seven hundred cars have been brought
into requisition. The company IL rush
ing the shipment as rapidly as possible,
so as to have the cars ready when
needed for grain A number OF extra
locomotives have been put on and new
crews brought into the service Tive
stock is in fine condition and Is of better
quality than heretofore. nearly all OF IL
being young steers and cows selected
from the immense herds by expert
judges OF beef cattle.

the Chicago 4 Northwestern Company
is carrying eastward an immense NUM-
ber OF cattle from Hand, Hyde, Sully,
Potter, Sphinx. and Beadie Counties.
