was quite a crowd of people
present, they having come from

they had the money with which
to buy. The horses were from
Colorado; but were not especial
ly wild, all having been broken
to the halter. Some thirty or
more were sold, snd in the case
of many the bidding was quite
lively. The prices ranged from
about $30 to $125, and the aver

$50. Some of the horses sold
very cheap, at much less tbao
they were worth in fact, and
there was a good deal of tradiog
