Big Sale at Wheatfield Drew Vast Crowd Wednesday.

The H. W. Marble sale at Wheatfield Wednesday drew a large crowd, and a number went from Rensselaer, returning home on the 11:05 train that night, arrangements having been made for the train to stop at Shelby. Prices were generally high and the bidding spirited.' A peculiar mix-up is said to have occurred because some of the numbers fell from some of the cattle and when the purchasers went after their stopk there was a disagreement as to which had been bought Medaryville buyers are said to have got a good start with some cows of somewhat greater value than the ones they had bought and that it was necessary to stop them and bring them back to get the matter straightened out.
