.lHna Il Is reported that there is much
H. suffering among stock in the country
north of Tuscarora, but investigation
proves that the situation is not as
" serious as was at first supposed. 1t
was reported few days ago that the
Spanish Ranch would sustain a heavy
I loss among their cattle on account of
having turned them out when the
first sign of spring came a short time
ago. They did turn the cattle out
4: but when the weather began to show
storm signs the cattle were brought
khooI fha
being fed They have plenty of hay
on hand and the only difficulty is that
the feeding space is cramped for such
a large number as they have to care
Z. for. 1t is stated on good authority
that the J. w. Reed outfit Is losing
heavily among their horses that are
now on the range. But aside from this
report the stock condition seems to
be better than could be expected.

quick exit. bill" returned the com.
pliment by having him arrested. The
