Cattle Kings Quit.

Bismarck, Aug. 6.-The beef round
ups have begun on the big cattle ranges
in the western part of the state and the
first shipments Of cattle have been made
to the markets. When the roundup is
this fall the ranges will be
depleted of cattle to great extent for
three of the larges outfits in the western
part of the state are going out of bust
ness. These are the ''Three Sevens,"
largely controlled by H. S. Boice; the
20. x" outfit, owned by Towers and
Gudgell, and the "Seven- bar-Seven,"
owned by the Custer Cattle company,
in which T. G. Power. of Helena, Mont,
is the principal owner. The largest of
these firms is the "Three Sevens,"
which has annually driven up from the
south and turned loose on the Western
ranges four heards of cattle, with from
1900 to 1000 steers to the heard. These
have been allowed to mature for two
years and have then been shipped at
profit of from twenty to twenty-five
dollars an animal. The immense free
range and the possibility of wintering the
cattle at little expense because of the
natural shelter afforded by the breaks
of the Bad Lands, has rendered this
profitable business and these three
firms have cleared large sums. But the
steady influx of small ranchmen, who
haye located at the watering places
long used by the immense rowing bands
of cattle, fenced off much of the range,
and stripped thousands of acres of fine
range for hay, has forced out the big
men and they have begun to clear up
their holdings of cattle, preparatory to
removing south, where they will engage
in the raising of native Texans, in
which there is smaller profit, but less
inconvenience from the presence Of
small ranchmen.
