OVER ESTIMATED.

suIIy CouHty's Cattle Less Reduced.
Since the stockmen of Sully county
have been able to get their scattered
herds together. they find that the loss
es first reported as a result of the late
storm were much over estimated, on
account of stock being of their accus-
toned ranges and supposed to be lost.
In the western part Of the state from
to per cent will cover the loss. some
individual owners who had insufficient
shelter, losing a greater per cent. while
others lest nothing at all. In the east
ern part of the county the losses were
heavier. as the storm was more severe
there: but even in that section 10 per
cent is considered a large estimate, and
II will not likely be that high. except in
individual cases. Taking the county as
a whole, the stock owners are getting
out far better than they expected inn
mediately after the storm. II has tax
en- several days to get the cattle togeth-
er. as they scattered badly in many IN
stances, and up to that time everything
was estimated, and too high at that.

I.dians Feed Fat on the bodies Of
Dead Cattle.
IL Is safe 70 say that not for great
many wears have the Sioux Indians on
the Cheyenne Rive and Standing Rock
reservations hal so much beef to eat
as at present. This abundance OF beer
is due 10 the recent severe storm, which
left a great many dead cattle and sheep
lying on the prairies throughout the
two reservations Ever since the storm
hundreds OF Indians have been engaged
in gathering the carcasses of the dead
animals They are not so particular az
are white people about the manner oil
death of the animals they eat. and are
enjoying a monopoly OF gathering the
bodies of the animals killed by the
storm. They dry such parts OF the
meat as are net needed for present use
and lay Il away for future use, while
the sinews are preserved and utilized
for sewing moCcasins.
