Sunday Leo Bucholz discovered that
he had two fine wild cats in his traps,
and gathering W. Ormsby and his
brother jim, they left for the woods
to sack the cats so as to bring them
to town and give all their best friends
"A good chase. One of them proved
to be good big fellow and each hun
ter in telling the story of why they
did not sack that big cat declares
that the other two were afraid of him.
However, they killed him and brought
the smaller cat to town captive and
held him such until Monday after
dinner. Then they prepared for a
good chase with the hounds, four of
Jake Borah's hounds being in town
and OImsbys forty vagabond dogs,
Frazier's Denver, and Lumley $
Jack, all begging for the "big
fun. But the poor cat was either
too near dead or very partial to the
limits of an incorporated town like
our metropolitan little city and in
stead of taking to the woods and
giving dogs and their owners some
fun, he galloped lazily over to Baer's
hen house and camped. After much
lassoing, probing and pulling he was
borne higher on the hill but positively
refused to make any display of his
last moments for the pleasure of dogs
and men. After time, between the
dogs, clubs and men, they succeeded
in ending the life of the poor creature
and after dragging it through fields
and streets dead the boys after all had
good chase. The cat was in such
muddy confusion that its owner re.
fused to have anything to do with its
hide and from force of habit (when
any refused or stray dog is around Leo
had been accustomed to seeing Ormsby
gather him in) that he must have
thought the same Of cats, so he donated
it to OImsby, who gave the cat no less
than eight baths prior to skinning
him, and now points with pride to its
hide tackled on the north side of his
hut along with five others and tells
with inflated chest and quick drawn
breath how his hounds and he landed
that fellow and what heated chase
he gave them There is time in
the lives of all men mot women
when silence is golden.

Weekly Stock Letter

Denver Union Stock Yards, March
l2.-The market was dull here last
week and about all classes of cattle
closed 10 to % lower than the proceed
ing week, except the very best beef
grades. There was good demand for
choice beef cattle and trade in this
line was fairly active. Good steers
however, closed about dime lower
and common ones are Is to % cents
down from week ago. Packers are
not paying much attention to the half
fat steers and there is wide range
in the price between these and the
good ones. Good cows sold well and
closed about steady. One bunch of
fancy Wyoming hay fed brought
81. 50, the highest price paid here this
season for hay fed cows. Others sold
at S3. and most of the better killing
grades brought So 90 to So. s. Medium
cows sold at So 25 to $500 and com
mon stuff from 50 25 down to 81. 25.
Common cows were very dull and
closed about quarter lower. Bulls
were in good demand and sold strong

ern markets. A very light demand
for feeding cattle is reported at all
points, Buyers here were bidding
cautiously as they have lost money
lately on about everything bought
here and forwarded to other markets.
Prices closed about 10 to 25 cents
lower than the preceding week Most
of the week s business in feeders and
stockers was done around $3.50 to
S4.25. Receipts today were less than
a thousand head, market quiet and
about steady with last week
While the decline here last week
looks large it must be remembered
that prices held up well here the week
before while other markets were lower
