Many of the north side cattle are re

the case the eat marks assute unusual

An item is going the rounds of the

under a fifteen year' sentence, and
who asfterward succeeded in making

months ago by shooting at Red Wing,

may be corroborated, Bell being a bad

A Big ('attle Trmaaer.
On Friday last week, in St. Louis,
was consummated one of the largest
sales of cattle we have had to record
for a long time. The Running Water
land and Cattle Co., whose range is
on Big Dry and Elk Prairie oreek and
tributaries, running the H I-bar brand,
and the Hunter &' Evans rand and
Cattle Co., who run the heart brand on
the same range also, sold out to qtr.
Pierre Wibaux, of Beaver creek, all
their cattle and horses. The number
of cattle now on this range is thought
to be from 18,000 to 22,000 head, and
they are to be rounded-up and at once
delivered on Mr. Wibaej's range.
These attle have bean graded up for
the paest eight yr , and are now a
very desirble heerd. The nettle were
purchased by Mr. Wiban for himself
personally, whloh together with hi
other investmenat in this esutry wllN
runa his rang wealth up into nearly
balf a million dollar.

W. M. Carter, of the Mabry aesttle
company, Ben K. Holl, Henry Tos,
lor sad A. R. Farnum were in the d.ty
yeterday from the dlfferent round-ups.
Mr. Cauter's report of the state of at
tie on the north side in the Big and
Little Dry country is very disoourag
log although he says that on the Red
Wate range the round-up discovered
a much better condition of adkirs than
be had reason to hope for. SBlne the

country, however, the scarcity of she
cattle and absence of bulls and lofre

We are Inclined to think that Mr.
Carter takes too gloomy a view of the

As this country is fast settling up
and the land marks and assooiations
of early days are even now interest.
ing, and will continue to become more
so, it does seem useless and aimas sac
rillgious to mar and deface the rocks
that are covered with the hleroglypb.
ie of the Indians. We were surprised
to hear that the intereting rook north
of town, showing as it does the handi
work and imagery of a people who are
fast losing their highbet element of rc
mance, had been robbed of its historic
value, by the whitewash brush of *r
ilsed man, for advertising his worldly
goods. Rocks are plenty and to see
"Zimmerman" in great glaring letters
across the outline of an Indian tomb,
shows to us a deplorable lack of sentLi
ment. Mr. Zimmerman is not at
fault, but let merchants who propose to
paint posters on the rooks, order their
workmen to avoid disfiguring the -ew
points of lanterest left to mark the race
that onee'possessed the land. When
this valley Is filled with homes made
by the skill of mankind let the rock
altars tell of the race that dwelt here
