Prize Colt Weighed 1315
Stewart Conger’s big sale yesterday
was one of the best held this season
and was very satisfactory in point of
numbers present and amount of sales.
The prize emit was sold to Joe
Blaschke and J. A. Arnett for $310.
The guessing on the weight of the
colt was lively and ranged in guesses
from 900 to 1500 pounds, the nearest
guess being made by Auctioneer
Hale, who thought 1313 pounds, only
missing the actual weight by two
pounds, it tipping the beam at 1315
pounds.
The attempted organization of a
business men’s league, for just what
purpose we are not definitely in
formed, seems not to meet with en
couragement from many of the busi
ness men and will probably come to
naught. So far as we can learn, and
we are not in the confidence of those
who are the supposed heads of the
movement the aims and purposes of
the proposed organization have been
misquoted and misjudged from re
ports afloat, but as none of those in
terested have seen fit to give the
newspapers any inside information,
we are not in position to give the
real intents of it, or any information
further than those on the inside say
the flying reports are wrong, what
exer they may be.
