The sale is another annual event, the
sponsor for which is A. B. C. Clark, a
well known Montana stockman. The

and encouraging the event, which will
bring together about $500 horses of
all kinds for sale by auction. The
roads give rebate of passenger fares
for all who ship horses from the sale
East, and the Montana and Dakota
stockmen expect patrons and visitors
from all parts of the country. At the
coming sale there will be about 1000
