COWS SELL AT $500.
Great Cattle Sale Held at Hampton
Last Tuesday, When Sixty
Head Were Sold.

One of the largest, if not the larg-
est, cattle sales ever held in this
part of the state, was held here last
Tuesday, when w. B. Barney & Sons
and Frank White held their first an
nual sale of Holstein-Friesian cat
tie. There was a large number of
buyers present from distant points,
a number of them from out of the
state, and the bidding was lively
from the start of the sale to the
close.
The average on cows was over
5000, the highest one going to H.
G.. MILAN of Rock Rapids for an
even $500. This one was from the
herd of w. B. Barney & Sons. Six
eight months old heifers from the
Frank White herd sold for close to
$1,000. The demand for bulls was
not strong, and those who purchas-
ed them certainly secured some
good bargains. There were about
sixty head of cattle in the offering
and every animal was sold to parties
who reside at some point in Iowa.
J., H. Marker of Toledo, a former
resident of this county, purchased
several head, paying 1895 for one
COW.
Local bidders were on hand, but
the selling price made them dizzy,
but it was demonstrated that good
breeders know a good thing when
they see it and did not hesitate to
pay most any price when they got
what they considered was top
notcher.-Hampton Recorder.

Finds Old Forgery.

Perry, May IA forgery, which
it is believed was committed in
Greece, was brought to light by
President George Heater of the
Jamaica bank a few days ago. 1t
is ON certificate of deposit and calls
for $500. About two years ago a
Greek laborer, who mad been en-
ployed for some time by the Milwau-
kee railway company, deposited $500
in the bank, and was given certifi-
cate of deposit for the amount. The
transaction was regular, but in tea
ing off the certificate and handing it
to the foreigner, the cashier did not
notice that two sheets were given
MIN. The man left the vicinity after
cashing the certificate. Later on an
other certificate, an exact duplicate
of the original, showed up. 1t came
from a town in Greece, but whether
cashed by the laborer or some of his
friends, has not been learned. The
authorities are now looking for him.
The second certificate was filled out
for the same amount, the figures
having evidently been traced on the
sheet by the aid of carbon paper and
then linked.
