DENVER, Col, Jan. 27.-The Nation
al Livestock Growers convention after
three days of harmonious and i'm
portant elaboration came to an end
today. The organization of the Live
stock Association of the United States
or America was completed today by
the selection of an executive commit
tee. The other cattle centers of the
country in consideration of the splendid
efforts Of Denver in making the pres
ent convention q success waived their
claims upon next years meeting and
the vote was unanimous that it should
again come to Denver.
The closing number Of the pro-
gramme was the last barbecue to be
given IN America where buffalo is to
appear on the menu. Among the rare
Vlands were nicely cooked elk and opos-
sum- besides beef, mutton and pork in
great quantities. The barbecue was
heId at the Union Stock yards, and
the burlington railway and the street
car companies carried from % 900 to
0O'V0O people to the grounds. So great
was the crowd that the six tons of
meat served was hardly enough to sat-
isfy all, and before the crowd could he
served the tables against which tba,
were surging broke away, and. brush
ing aside police and militia guards, the
crowds overran the grounds. beIpfnz
themselves to what was in sight.

were UNDECIDED. The crowd was good
natured and no one was hurt in the
stampede, but there being no possibiI-

mistake made by the barbecue COM
mittee was in issuing too many tickets
$4,000 having been given out.
