VERY HEAVY LOSS.

Buffalo County.

Some $50 Head of Cattle Perfshed I'm
Buffalo County.
The reported loss OF sevearl hundred
head Of cattle on a Buffalo county
ranch during a recent storm, has been
confirmed.
The loss, however, is no reflection
upon the country, as II was due to
overstocl<ing the range upon which the
cattle grazed and lack of preparations
for caring for the animals. The loss
occurred on the ranch of l. J. Brown,
in the northeast portion of the county.
From I 800 to 2.100 head Of cattle have
been on the Brown range all winter, a
range that was trampled over by about
the same number last winter. Short
picking, poor cattle to start with and
considerable deep snow made 1t i'm
possible for such large herd to thrive.
and, in their weakene demolition. they
succumbed to the storm. which was not
a cold or severe one I'm comparison with
what was experienced in the Eastern
states, and had no bad effect whatever
on the stock throughout the country
that was looked after properly. Dur
ing the storm the cattle drifted into n
bad section of country, and, somehow,
piled up In a deep ravine during the
night, and before morning more than
$50 had perished. The parties in charge
did everything they could, and succeed
ed in rescuing about $50 head. The loss
will amount TO between $4,000 and s12,-
900. Some OF the animals belonged TO
G. l.. Millett. c.. r. Sumner and James
Phillips of Stanley county, and had
been turned over to Brown TO be win
teered by him.
