d SdlS " SdlllC II 1OSo Ia CaAS
city Thursday afternoon which re-
suited in leaving some mighty good
animals in Dawson county. The
stockgrowers were very liberal in
their purchases and the prices that
We're paid We're eminently s%atisfact-
DRY t. the Dummies. 1t was not pos
sible for many outside buyers to
come to Mitchell. on account of the
snow blockade, but there vas enough
competition among local buyers as to
bring tho prices up to a point on
which the owners had no kick COM
ing. The Dummies have made a
speciality of breeding Shorthorn cat
tie and Chester White hogs, and their
animals have the mark of excellency
stamped upon them.
The sale was conducted by G. M.
Jones, of Mason City. and Jay H.
Grafton, of this city, and j.. M. Boot.
w. T. MCCONNELL, of the Western
National bank. oficiated at the sale
as clerk. There Was a good attend
ance of stock growers at the sale,
which vas held in the stock Pavilion
in the eastern part of the city. The
claim that vas made by the stock
growers in the northern part of the
state that the buyers in this section
were ill~d up did not make good,
for practically all of the animals
were bought by men of this county.
1t will be remembered thai the
stockmen of the north part of the
state asked for the removal of the
annual sale of the Improved Live
Stock Association to Bookings on
the ground that the buyers in this
locality would not buy because of
their having all the stock they want
ed. The result of the Dunmire sale
completely refutes the charge made
by these parties.
