A marvellous cattle sale with o
more marvellous selling record was
that held at the Santa Fe stock
yards Monday afternoon. The Stubhs
Land a Cattle Company had advcr.
tised two days sale for their herd
Of $500 pure-hlooded Hereford cat
tie, but so quickly were the offer
ings snapped up and the stun moved
In such large quantities that the en-
tire Offering was gone In just about
four hours actual selling time. This
was declared by Auctioneers Reppert
and Gross to be record.
The high quality Of the stock and
the liberal terms and interest rate
granted were undoubtedly the prime
factors In the prices brought and
the speedy unloading of the lot As
the shades Of night descended upon
the huge chautauqua tent in which
the ring had been pitched the largest
auction sale of Herefords ever held
in this country was all over and set
Elements were in order, although the
auctioneers gavel had not descended
upon the opening bid until after
twelve o'clock. A large crew of

and smartly, the different punches
were cut out and held ready right
on the dot and the general manage
ment Of the details, largely the eX-
cellent work Of Arthur Lawrence Of
Hereford, resulted in as smooth and
rapid sale as has even been wit
messed here.
Buyers were here from as far
north as Ohio, although local cattle
men accounted in large part FOR
the purchases The excellent blood
lines Of the Stubs cattle are ma
tionally known and there would
probably have been more spirited
bidding even than there was had
the financial situation been easier
The cattle brought more than they
would have on the market at this
time and the sellers are said to be
well pleased with the results. The
two famous auctioneers, aided by
representatives of the stock papers
and others, handled the big affair
like the veterans they are. The big
tent was crowded to capacity all
