Stolen Cattle Recovered
Quite a sensation occurred in Ains

members of the Black Hills stock as
sociation accompanied by a brand ex

is much of mystery connected with
the affair and the parties interested
preserved the utmost secrecy over the
matter and the reporter was avoided
as a pestilence However the stock
were found in possession of Squire
Jones some seven miles south of Ains
worth and brought to this city where
they were shipped to Omaha on Fri
day Squire Jones is said to have
purchased the cattle from a stranger
borrowing money from the Longpine

Among the many statistical tables we

acres of land and only 50000 acres
are under cultivation The county
is credited with having raised last
year 200000 bushels of wheat 600000
bushels of corn 800000 bushels of oats
40000 bushels of rye and 1000000
tons of hay In an article devoted ex
Sclusively to Cherry county Resources
says
In Cherrv county but little rve and
barley an raised The average yield
of wheat this jear is twelve bushels
per acre Of wheat there is more than
twice the aoeage or last year but it
is difficult to estimate the exact num
ber of acres Ot crn there is a much
larger acreage than last season If
corn turns out what is now expected
Cherry county will raise a surplus this
season the first time in the history of
the county
