w. H. Raymond, the well-known
breeder of standard-bre horses, was
in from his Madison county stock farm
Belmont Park-Monday, on his way
to Helena, having been summoned as
witness for the defense in the, Well
come disbarment trial. In conversa-
ton with the Standard reporter, Mr..
Raymond expressed the opinion that
the outlook for horses has not been as
bright for years as it now is. and ad-
vises all horse breeders to breed up and
take care of their horses once more. In
his opinion horses OF a good grade, as
well as heavy work horses, will sell for
more money within the next two years
than they have sold at any time during
the past 20 years. The year has been
a good one for Mr.. Raymond, he having
sold nearly everything marketable on
the ranch, and his crop of colts for '99
is the largest one in the history of the
ranch.
