steers passed through this city this
week bound for Belle Fourche. They
were purchased in Idaho, and were in
fine condition. Several big purchases
are about to be made in that state by
Black Hills cattlemen. The beef round
up will commence July 20. and Il close
cleanup OF all stock suitable for ship
ment will probably be made. There
will not be much shipping done from
Brennan station, near this city, this
season. owing to the fact that the drive
from the Cheyenne river to the station
has been fenced in several place by the
ranchers. Pierre will be benefited by
this change to some extent. All of the

which have heretofore been driven to
Brennan. will be taken across the Mis-
souri, and shipped from Pierre. Belle
Fourche, as shipping point, will be
better this year than ever before. The

the eye could discern. the swish of
