Insane ana Nearly Frozen.

HURON, s. D.. Jan. %. (special)-A
neighbor of John Hester. who resides alone.
on a farm a few miles north Of Huron,
called at the Kester shack yesterday and
found Kester in a fearful condition. Has
house was disorderly and cold and he had
frozen hands and feet. 1t is evident that
Mr.. Hester became insane some weeks ago
and since then has neglected his stock, at
least thirty or more of the cattle being
found dead about the premises. He lived
alone and had little to do with his neigh
hors, but II is ascertained that during the
cold weather he would haul hay during the
night time, but deposited II at points where
it was impossible for the stock to reach IL.
Thirty or more head were found dying
from exposure and starvation. Hester is
about so years old and has relatives in the
western part of the state, who have not
yet been located. He IL being cared for at
the county farm.

R-epresentative sales:

SHEEP-The market was practically bare
of supplies today, as is usually the case
on a Saturday and prices remained nom
inally steady,
Supplies for the week total almost 1900
head, or about 1900 head less than the
total number received last week. Average
quality on most days has been decidedly
common and as packers are at no time
very anxious for the unfinished and short
fed grades OF sheep and lambs, the tone to
trade has been rather dull than otherwise.
Good western lambs and sheep that carry
plenty of kin are closing about l0Q15c
higher than the close OF last week, while
common and medium strings are all the
way from weak TO Csc lower. Full loads OF
fed western lambs sold as high as S. 90
during the last two or three days, but Il
would take something extra prime in this
line to command &.5 or better.
There nave not been many yearlings in
cluded In offerings lately. but the inquiry
for this class OF stock appears TO be gem
erous and choice light weights would prob
ably sell pretty close to fair quality lamb
stuff. Ewes Of a good kind are wanted at
quOtably strong prices, but the in-between
strings have been more or less neglected
recently.
The volume OF feeder trade continues
light, with values generally In about the
same notches as fair quality killers.
