BIG CONTRACT FINISHED
NAPIER AND REEFS MAKE FINAL
DELIVERY OF CATTLE.
FIVE THOUSAND HEAD ANIMALS


Last Delivery Was Made at Rosebud
Agency on Wednesday Of This Week.
One Of the Heaviest Contracts Ever
Undertaken by Norfolk Men.
A contract for the delivery of 5000
head of cattle to the government and
involving a money consideration of
some $4,000, has just been success
fully and satisfactorily filled by
Messrs. S. r. Napper and ID. Rees OF
this city. The delivery was made at
Rosebud agency, about thirty miles
north of Crookston, and was complet-
ed on Wednesday. Mr.. Rees returned
to the city yesterday noon and Mr..
Napier stopped at Ainsworth on his
way home to attend to other business.
This was one of the biggest con.
tracts ever handled by Norfolk men.
The contract was secured from the
government in April by Mr.. Napper
and a month later Mr. Rees became
associated with him in filling 1t.
The contract called for delivery OF
native born Nebraska cattle or Texas
Cdlll6, anu Wubu luC COllIl uIlOl
bought they found it impractical to
secure them in this state and as
a result they all came from Texas.
Both gentlemen made frequent trips
to the lone star state and selected the
animals from among the big herds on
the broad ranges of that common
wealth. After the cattle were bar
gained for, Mr.. Napier remained in
Texas to attend to the shipping while
Mr.. Rees returned to Crookston, this
state, to receive and deliver them to
the government inspectors at Rose
bud. Mr.. Napier, after the final car
had been loaded, went to Crookston
and was present at the last delivery
this week.
The shipment comprised seven train
loads, and remarkable as it may seem
only one animal was lost during tran
sit. From Crookston it was necessary
to drive thirty miles north to make
delivery. During this drive ten ami
mails died. This was caused by heat
affecting the animals, which had been
dipped in oil. When it was found that
Iney ndu uOJ lully ISCONtlSu llOlu IHe
oil dip, as required by the govern
ment, the herds were given more time
to recuperate before the drive was
undertaken. At another time during
the drive lightning bolt dashed into
the herd during a storm, and four
were killed. Aside from this, and a
few which strayed during the over
land trip, the loss was comparatively
nothing, which is remarkable show
ing when the number of head of cattle
handled is considered.
At the conclusion of the delivery
the other day, the government inspect
ors complimented Messrs. Napier and
Rees upon the high grade of cattle
they had furnished and for the very
satisfactory manner in which they had
handled the contract. They are now
entirely through with the DEAL the
vouchers are approved and signed and
on their way to Washington, and the
contractors now only have to wait the
pleasure of government officials at
the capital to receive their money.
