~ up W.
Stockmen over around Beulah
Wyoming, had a big wolf roundup
on July LIST. They succeeded in cap
turing a number of animals.
Report has it that J. B. Belliveau
OF Beulah lost II head OF horses last
week. The animals stampeded dur.
ing d sever storm and went over
an embankment.
The stockmen in the vicinity of
the reservation east of here now
nave nine riders on duty to keep
stock from getting on the Sioux
Observation-Disclosures Times.
Speaking of the sheep and wool
outlook Silberman Bros latest re-
port says that the situation grows
brighter each day and that the sheep
business will be one OF the best IN
dustries of the farm.
In the district court at Newcastle
Frank Hashberger pleaded guilty
to stealing cattle. He will probably
get W or three years in the pen
Observation-Disclosures Monitor.
}. f. Moran was in Hot Springs
Friday. He says that none Of the
showers have reached his section of
Fall River county and that as a con-
sequence grain and grass have been
pretty we'll dried out. He was
telling very much discouraged.
A Texas exchange remarks that
while the cattle dealer or Spectator
has to run all the risks Of getting
hurt by market declines the man
that raises the stock proceeds in
the even tenor Of his way, and can
hold his stuff till the market suits
to sell.
At South Omaha last Thursday
M. Standen of Hot Springs, S. D.,
had three cars of cattle on sale.
They brought the following figures:
l COW $40, $3.50; 2cows, 1925, So. IS;
l COW, 1000, $2.75, l COW, 92O, 50. 80;
2 feeders, $50, $500; and SO feeders,
1895.
No horns and small brands will
before long be noticeable in our cattle.
Cattlemen can not afford to ignore
the advantages in shipping and ex-
porting hornless cattle, and the in
creased value of their animals when
the hide is not injured as at present.
Three years hence hornless cattle
will be seen in big punches in Texas;
Improvement in branding will also
comes in good time, though it will
be more gradual and slower.-Fort
Worth (Texas)Journal.
Frank J. Kelly, one of THE
STocKMAN's big list of subscribers
at Smithville, was a pleasant caller
at these headquarters Tuesday, He
renewed his faith in this paper, and
joined the big association. He
states that there is a gang down in
his section engaged to a greater Or
less extent in running off cattle and
horses and he has caught them in
the act three times. Unless the
practice stops Mr.. Kelly states that
this gang will meet with a very
warm reception.
1t is expected that the amount of
WOO marketed at Great Falls. Mont.
will exceed by far any previous re-
cord. In spite Of the frequent cries
about the hard times, flock n
have been steadily increasing their
f1ocks, and the past winter has been
an unusually mild one. The spring
crop Of lambs is said to be in this
section fully 100 per cent increase,
and while the storms have been Sc
we're On shorn sheep. the loss has
been inconsiderable. 1t would not
! be surprising to find Mt the end that
the sum OF the sales made here this
season reached 10, 0OO, 600 pounds.
The trial of Ed. Ross at Newcastle
last week for the murder of Amos
Robinson at BeuIah a year ago re-
suited in a verdict of murder in the
second degree says the Spearfish
