g. Z Lennon, superintendent Of the
Sheidley Cattle company, whose range
| is located about $50 miles northwest of
Deadwood on the hloreau river, in a
recent interview in Deadwood, stated
that the cattle Of his company passed
through the recent cold spell in good
condition. The snow has been light all
winter and the cattle have been able to
rustle their W iced from the grass.
No cattle frozen to death have thus far
been reported in his district. Mr.. L.
states hat there will be very few cattle
brought north from Texas this year
owing to the high price asked. The
price is even higher now than last year.
Reports have come in from some Of the
other large cattle companies in the
same district and there seems TO have
been little suffering among the cattle.
w. d. DriskeIl a cattle man Of Spear
fish. states that the winter had been
more severe on cattle in Wyoming, as
the weather has been colder and there
had been more storms. He expects
pretty heavy losses in that region.
