chased by N. G.. Marris for Mr.. Minor,
in Indiana, from such breeders as Rob-

Following the purchase from Indiana,
Mr.. Minor purchased Collision OF J. g..

This great bull is now at the head of
Mr.. Minors herd, and is the sire of Ro-

last December.
In 1899, Mr.. Minor bought Sassy
Frantic, beautiful heifer, which won
first at the big show in Chicago.
At the same time for companion for
Sassy Frantic he bought Rosa O'Grady,
mate and half sister of Ruberta, champ.

two last named heifers Mr. Minor paid
$1,000 each.
