MASTERSON,S BIG SALE

NJ. |. Masterson and Son held
their big Hereford cattle sale at
their farm yesterday afternoon. They
had a splendid offering and although
the prices were not as high as had
been anticipated, yet the sale was a
success. We heard many breeders
say that the Masterson herd was as
good as any they had seen this year.
Practically all sales the past few
weeks have suffered from the finan-
cial stringency that is on at this
time. At the hour of going to
press we were unable TO secure a
list of the purchasers but hope to
publish them next week. Tit av-
erage was $453.
The threatening weather kept
many of the buyers away who had
contemplated driving overland.
When the sale was about half over
the seats in the tent broke down,
and although no one was injured,
yet il took the enthusiasm out of the
sale. This combination OF circum-
stances had much to do with bid
ding which under other conditions
would have been better. Yet Mr..
Masterson and son Harold are well
pleased with the outcome. They
are to be commended for bringing
into the community such high
grade of pure bred cattle. All
trust that they will continue in the
business and in another year reap a
double harvest.

DEATH CAME SUDDENLY
Pioneer of Audubon County Passed
Away at Early Hour Tuesday

Mrs. J. w. Mcclure, one of the
pioneers of Audubon county died
very suddenly at her home on Tracy
street Tuesday morning. She had
not been in the best of health all
spring, but it was not thought that
her condition was serious. On Sun
day she took sudden change for the
worse and continued to grow weaker
until she passed peacefully away
about ten O'Clock Tuesday morning.
For many years Mrs Mcclure and
family lived in Melville township
but moved to the city of Audubon a
little over a year ago. She was a
splendid woman who was loved and
admired by all who knew her. 1t
is indeed sad that she should have
been taken away from her family
and loved ones so suddenly.
Funeral services were held this
morning at nine O'Clock. At the
hour of going to press we are unable
to secure an obituary, but we hope
to publish it next week. The many
friends of the family unite with the
Republican in extending sympathy
in this their hour of most crushing
grief.

AUDUBON LOSES SUNDAY GAME

Audubon's base ball nine crossed
bats here Sunday with the team from
Carroll. A good crowd was out TO
witness the game. The home team
was not in the best of working or
der. Many errors were made and
they happened to be made at time
when ii was quite serious. The Wis
itors however were not errorless but
they were more fortunate. The
score stood 8 to /. 1t was good
game even though the home team
lost. The visitors we're GOOD,
snappy bunch of players and we hope
they will give Audubon return
game some of these days.
Walnut plays here next Sunday
and on Monday afternoon Audubon
plays in Atlantic.

chiefly from houses with Eastern con-

tracted the principal share of notice at
first. but later the numerous setbacks

to the burden on wheat. Declines
brought about considerable wheat ex-
