Stockmen have their trials. The
Mead-Clark .lligan cars were ordered
for the 9Th and their herds we're driven
in for that date and held on Ash coulie
until the 9TH when they we're penned in
the Eland yards. On the last named
date the cars we're in sight, but the
N. P. was short of power and it was
nearly 9 o'clock in the evening before
the cars were taken from Dickinson to
the yards. The cattlemen, who had
been waiting all day on the railroad
company, had had nothing to eat since
breakfast and were compelled to load
their stock as best they could in the
night to which was added the discom.
fort and annoyance of a high wind and
rain. Such delays cost the owners
hundreds of dollars in the shrinkage o.
beef cattle to say nothing of the hard
ships incident thereto. Agent Kilmel
shares in the disappointments Of these
delays. SATURDAY. night he had t 0 be uI
all night to look after the billing of stock
and Sunday night was not much better
Two trainloads of cattle were loaded
at the Eland yards on Saturday, includ
ing IL cars from the Harkins- Phelar
herds and II cars from the Baker outfit
Two trainloads were also loaded tn,
following day, including IS calves from
the Baker and Northwestern Ranchinf
Co. outfits. purchased by Mr.. Logan, al
eastern buyer, at $40 per head. Tn,
Mead-Clark-G alligan cattle were loadee
in the last train.
