disposed of in other markets.
It is well known that for the last quarter of a century M.
C. Keith has been buying and breeding some of the ver.y best
bloodliness in both horses and cattle, which could be secured
in the United States. With his keen inctinct and game judg
ment, no animal was too good or high priced for his Pawnee
Ranch, and the records of Paddy, 2:n; Edith Wilks 2:i3;
Jessie Wilks 2:22; Keith's Darknight 2:26, and others
which were developed, shows that he thoroughly understood
the breeding business, Undoubtedly there are many others
equally as fast and some faster, if trained and developed, and
Will be worth ten times the price asked for them now. The
estate will Pell them as they are, and if you want great bar
gains in good horses, call at once on

prived of the equal protection of

pany proposes and offers to pay to
