Cold Winter Expected.

Denver. - The Record Stockmau
says: cattlemen all over the state are
preparing for a hard winter this sea
son Snow has arrived early and the
indications are that there will be plen-
ty of cold and snow before spring ar
rives. The eastern section of the
state is not in good condition for
grass, and shipping is being made
closer than usual so as to enable the
cattlemen to care for what cattle they
retain. In the western part of the
state the cattlemen expect to feed
their cattle any how and most of the
ranches are well prepared for the win
ter, though shipping will be close. Feed
lots are commencing to fill up and
the indications are that there will be
more cattle on feed and fewer sheep
than in some years.

had come from the Niobe to the inn
for two reasons One was in re-

and the other was because he bore
