Nat Bradley, the Canadian buyer, is
In the city and goes to the Cannon Ball
to look at horses.
VIM. Holton Dye was making in.
quiries recently as to the prices which
wool growers expected.
Nathan Baernstein, the partner Of
lsidore Katenlinsky in the horse
smuggling case at Wilton, has been
captured at Minneapolis.
o. S. Chase, the Hettinger county
breeder of black cattle, reports that
there has been steady feeding at his
place on the Cannon Ball for some
months. The thaw this week settled
the snow a little.
John Barnes, who is located on the
Maverick bottoms, 20 miles northwest,
says that out Of 100 cattle he has mad
no loss this winter. He has not fed
any hay and. unlike previous winters,
has had no trouble from wolves.
Republican: F. P. Stone came in from
the ranch Sunday en- route to Dickinson.
Out OF his 5000 sheep Mr.. Stone has
lost but six this winter. and has but ten
in the hospital bunch. He has not fed
any hay whatever and the sheep are all
fat.
VIM. Gardner is feeling good over
the wool prospects. He feels confident
that the price will be around 25c. Mr..
Gardner has just heard from Milton &
Bailey of Hettinger county who have
w,ntered $500 of his sheep without any
loss.
Recently Tom Lefor of Gladstone
sold a mare to Frank Schank for sIco
and Adam Lefor also sold mare to the
same party for $3.50 These mares
were raised in the settlement south of
Gladstone and makes a team weighing
32oo pounds.
Lovin Bros, in the vicinity of Black
butte. broke l6s acres of prairie land
last year and will seed it all with grain
this spring. They were new settlers,
from the Red River Valley, but they
succeeded in raising 60 acres of fax
on sod that yielded II bushels to the
acre, and they had other crops that
were very good.
]. b. Stoddard, A. L. Martin and
other wool growers at Sentinel Butte
have declined offers OF 23c. 1t is re-
ported that A. b. Berry of Taylor had
an offer Of 25c. Woods grown in this
locality are going to be exceptionally
good this season, and the growers do
not seem to be in any hurry about con-
tracing. In TACT, they do not think it
wise to contract in advance.
Billings Co. Republican,: VIM. Holtcn
Dye, OF Indianapolis, Ind, proprietor of
the Northwestern ranches south OF Dick
inson, was in town this week trying to
buy wool from the local sheep men.
The gentlemen offered a figure close to
the IS cen mark but did not get the
wool. Mr.. Dye says that at his ranch
near Cedar creek he has been feeding
shay for some time on account of the
deep crusted snow. and it is doubtful if
he has hay enough to get through the
winter.
Another. large horse deal consummated
this week is the sale of c. c. Mead to
John Clark Of his stock OF horses now
on the range in the Cannon Ball and
Cedar country. The horses are to be
gathered and turned over on the spring
round up. The price is $50 per head
for everything unbroken and including
all last years colts. The deal includes
a bill of sale of the ID brand. Mr..
Mead is credited with around 200 head,
the most of them bred in the Percheron
line. All native stock heretofore sold
have been shipped to big farmers in the
Red River Valley where they gave the
best of satisfaction.
From our purchase of nearly half a
million acres of western North Dakota
land three years ago, we have sold all
we owned IN Hettinger county and
about all we had in Stark and central
eastern Billings counties (about three
hundred thousand acres.) In another
part of the PRESS we list description Of
the part sections Of scattered lands we
own in Stark and southwestern Dunn
counties. If there are any among these
lands you want it will be a saving to
purchase at once as it is our intention
to sell all as soon as we can. Dakota
