GOOD STOCK
Opportunity given Western
Horsemsn to Purchase
Registered Stock.

A representative of the Republican paid
q visit to the Windsor stables yesterday
morning to inspect carload Of Stations
which Mr.. c. NJ Fifeld, of Grand Is
land Nebr., has on sale there.
Mr.. Fifield is representative of North
& Robinson, of Grand Island. who are
the best breeders and handlers in this
part Of the world.
He had each of the animals led out in
turn and the points and quality of each
were noted. We had heard much about
the good quality of these horses but an
examination of them, showed them to
be ahead of any representation of any
that had been made The first horse
shown was Percheron stallion No.
5O1s4 splendid dapple grey foaled June
1st 1901. Another young Percheron a
dark grey, No. 4S535 foaled May 10 1904
was next brought out. This was a fine
three year old weighing 1900 hundred
pounds, in fair condition. Another
Percheron three years No. 50766 was ex
hibitsd.
This horse is coal black with white
star in his fore head and has been in
pasture all winter and weighs now 1900
pounds, fine speciman Of horse.
These stations all have certificates of
registration which was seen by a Repub-
lican reporter. He next showed some
Shire horses registered in the proper
stock book and as good representatives
of their breed as the ones described
bove. One of these weighs 1900 pounds.
All these are of as good quality as any
ever brought into this country and Mr..
Fitield says they are positively to be sold
here and that they will be sold at one
bird the price at which horses of the
anne blood and pedigree have been sold
or in this section.
This places these horses within the
reach Of any farmer or ranchman. No
fancy prices are being asked asked for
them, and their breeding is as good as
the best.
This IL o chance to buy No. animal
at very reasonable price,-Laramie

Killed Seven Wolves.

Until recent date we have been un
able to learn the true facts of the Spicer
wolf story. But it was given us yester
day from a source upon which we can
depend.
One morning last week the Murphy
Bros were in the yard at work and on
seeing the cattle running, went at once
to their rescue. arriving in time, to see
two large grey wolves devouring year
ling calf.
There was little snow on the ground
so the wolves could easily be tracked
and the boys at once gave chase. After
about a two mile ride, the wolves were
tracked into their den, where the boys
found seven young wolves and killed
them, but were. e..unsuccessful in getting
the old ones Nevertheless seven is not
a small number and at this rate n few
races will have them pretty we'll thined
out in the Spicer section.

most attractive watering place in the
