HI. S. Baldwin states that it is of little
use to buy feeding cattle for the Sioux
City markets at the present time. Mr..
Baldwin was down there with a load
less than two weeks ago and lost mon
ey on the lot. His reasons for the loss
is that owing to the extreme moisture
the ground is so muddy that cattle can
not move about on the same. Hills
and valleys are the same there, he says,
because there is no gravel or sand and
cattle sink deep into the mud. The
high water at Sioux City also Injuries
the market to a certain extent.

have his team of horses cross it with
the view OF getting up town quicker.

alright, but here the water power had
something to say and team and buggy
commenced going down stream.

ing the attempt gave the alarm and
DR.. Golden and team were pulled out
of the stream by the aid of tackle. DIR.
Golden was rescued much wiser
man and the loser of good shot gun
which he happened to have along with
him at that time.
