The auction sale of wild western
horses here last Saturday brought a
big crowd to town and it was a regular
Wild West Show and created consider
able excitement and lots Of amusement.
The circus took place in lot down
back of Junior Browns stable. There
was forty head of horses, brought here
from near Silver City, Idaho, by Messrs.
Stevens & Denny. The horses were a
fair lot and some OF them very neat
and trim looking and well bred. They
were sold at prices ranging from to.75
10 s2s, the average price being about
sls The highest price paid for any of
them was less than $50 This seems
very low, but the owners did better than
they expected here. They disposed OF
% Saturday and the others Monday ex.
cept four. The latter had been broken
and they will ride them away and dis
pose of them somewhere else. This
section was already over-run with
horses OF all kind and feed being very
scarce, we hardly supposed they could
dispose OF the horses At any price. Five
years ago, the Eaton boys brought a
lot here from North Dakotah and over
supplied the country all around and
the big stations that our people were
stuck on, had so over-stocked the mar
ket that horses are a bad drug and we
don't know where people will get feed
for them II il happens TO be "A hard
winter again.
