A stock buyer in town today, who has just returned trom an ex tended trip in the west, says that cattle are mignty scarce on the western ranges and this leads him to believe that prices will not de clitic much in the future.

Hannah M. D. D. O. D. A. Baker reports that on Sat urday evening last an atmospheric disturbance occurred at Ins farm four miles west of town during his temporary absence in town. Mr. Baker had been cuttintr hay and had left about six tons raked up in bunches in the field. The wind, which probably assumed the na ture -of a cyclone, picked up the six tons of nay and swept it from the field, not a trace of it being found. The wind also took the top (iff a largc'stack. but the larger part of this was found rolled up in a ditch some distance from the stack. The supposition is that the hay picked up on the field was carried across the river by the force of the wind. The field indi cated that track of wind did not cover any great widtli of territory.
