CAN YOU GUESS?

CAN YOU GUESS?
Having had very hard winter, the
per cent Of loss 10 cattle is more than
usual. There have been made many
estimates Of the loss, but the figures on
this subject are 50 much at variance,
that We very naturally conclude that it
is a matter Of much conjecture, The
person who could guess the exact nuns
Der would be guesscr right from
Guesseryile. But there is no law
against guessing; aud propose to give
away One Hundred Dollars in premiums
to the persons guessing nearest the mum
her Of cattle, counting calves, that will
be shipped from EngIewood station
from July ID to December "a, 1899,
inclusive Of both dates, the premiums
to be divided as follows, to-vit:
To the person guessing nearest the
