The combination sale of register
ed Hereford and Shorthorn cattle

fact that thele is n good demand
for fine stuff at good prices This
was the second sale here and PROV
ed most satisfactory and those in
terested say makes it certain that
Fort Worth will in the future be
one of the best livestock points
in the country for pure bred stuff.
There were in the sale some
thing like 1870 head, being equal
" divided between the Herefords
and Shorthorns The Shorthorns
averaged about SlGS per head and
the Herefords about SlSS. Among
the Herefords were individuals
from some of the best herds in the
country, one of the sellers being
the lizards Of Henrietta, whose
stuff averaged $500 per head. The
sale illustrated what can be done
in the way of fine breeding in
Texas. Others who had attract

Fed Texans win be Scarce.

J. S. Todd, the well known
cattleman of Muskogee, /. T.,
was in St. Louis on Wednesday
with n bunch of cattle, and to a
representative of the National
Live Stock Reporter said:
1.-TWO things will tend to les
sen the number of fed Southern
cattle this season. In the first
place, aged cattle for feeding
purposes are not plentiful, at
least there are not so many rs
were available last year. Sec
ondly, feed is too high, and feed
ers will not take chances with
prices of fat cattle on the mar
ket out of proportion to the
price of feed.
Last year feed was high, but
cattle were selling at better
prices. Cottonseed meal is being
quoted at S21 to S22 per ton, and
hulls at 81 to So, prices that the
feeder cannot afford to pay.
Under the circumstances, !
think there will not be over &c
to 80 per cent as many cattle fed
in Texas, Indian Territory, Louis
lana and Arkansas rs were fed
last year
"A good many cattle will be
wintered through to grass next
year, but they will not be avalla'
bic for market before June. Not
withstanding the liberal market
ing of cows this year, | look for 1
good run again next year"

Says Mr.. Riis: Zone night at fire in

in an overcoat, man whom immedi-

policeman who blocked his way did not.
He grabbed him by the collar, swung
him about, and hitting him resound-

club, yelled out: what's the matter
with you? Don't you see the fre-lines
Chase yourself out of here, and be

"The general said never word. He
did not stop to argue the matter. He
had run up against sentinel, and

That was all. The man had a right to
be there; he had none. I was never so
much of an admirer of Grant as since

Gen. Sheridan was resting from q

In about an hour NANNY" walked
back into the large yard in front of
the house, leading a carriage horse by
