The Dickinson Horse Sales Co. pulled
of its fifth sale on Monday and Tuesday
with the usual success and, as usual, the
weather was all that could be asked for.
The sale opened at 1880 Monday after
noon with about 1000 horses in the yards
and with many enthusiastic buyers ready
to bid on punches of the best horses ever
offered in western ring.
The local buyers were especially busy
at this sale and some Of the best stuff
offered has been taken to ranches not
far distant from this city. The outside
buyers included many of the regulars,
with several new ones from the states of
Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Manager ]. M. Watson owned, with
the exception of three carloads, all the
horses offered at this auction and when
the sale closed every animal had been
sold.
Messrs. Dow and Wood, the efficient
clerks, kept every item right up to the
last scratch and, as soon as the last horse
was out of the ring, were ready to make
settlements with both buyers and sellers.
T. F. Roberts had at this sale 225
head of his standardized stuff which
brought top prices. 1t is very crafty.
ing and almost amusing to note that as
soon as Mr.. Roberts name is mentioned
in connection with a bunch of horses the
buyers from all sides get busy and the
purchaser is the most envied man in the
amphitheatre.
A. H.'Arnett is always on hand at the
sales and never misses chance to boost,
or an opportunity to buy good horses.
This week he purchased 152 head, in
cluding some handsome colts from the
Roberts bunch. which he branded and
sent out to the Club ranch in the coun-
try north., -.-,--,.. :.
/ S. S. Sutherland and Peter Schnell are
other local buyers who made good pur-
chases. Mr.. Sutherland figures in every
sale and has made some fine deals dur
ing the past five months.
Miss A. M. Scott, who purchased a
number of horses at the first sale, turned
a good bunch of mares into the ring this
week and cashed them with handsome
profit.
The general run of stuff was far above
the average and was so we'll classed that
the buyers had no difficulty in getting
the kind Of horses best fitted for their
home markets.
The top load sold for s114.5o and were
taken to Minnesota by Saunders & La.
Due, who purchased, in all, 81 head

In the way Of entertainment, the bar
becue, "broncho busting" contests and
roping exhibitions furnished plenty of
amusement. Over 1000 people attended
the barbecue and had a share of the
buffalo" furnished from the fine herd Of
steers owned by the Dickinson Meat &
Grocery Co. Everybody present did
Justice to meat, beans and bread, served
in regular barbecue fashion, and those
who were unable to attend are satisfied
that they missed rare treat.
Pete Pelissier and VIM. McCarty en-
tertained the people with roping con-
test and, although it would be hard
matter to decide which is the most clever
with the lariat, it is fully conceded that
both gentlemen are entitled to the
Master Of the Rope" degree.
In the ring, at the close of the sale, a
"broncho busting" contest was pulled off
with McCarty, the king of the plains,
Richard Scrivner, the champion of South
Dakota, and Arthur Gutter, the champion
of the Dickinson Horse Sales Co., as the
busters" Horses with bucking records
and pedigrees from seven states were
brought into the ring, saddled, bridled
and rode and, although the outlaws
tried every trick known or read about in
the art. of buckng, not one of the riders
left his saddle until every person in the
amphitheatre was satisfied that McCarty
didn't care, the fellow from South Da.
kota would like worse one and Cutter
was having the time of his life.
