In pointing out Mr. Galloway he was referred to as a man who had made more than three million dollars in the blooded cattle business. “Stand up, Big Bill Galloway,” said the auctioneer, “just as you do in the movies and let the people know why you have paid $23,_ 000 for a mere bull.” Big Bill Galloway then told the assemblage that brains and business ability tell a man to do the right thing and that with such an animal before him as Hugo Fairfax, common sense demanded that he be procured for breeding purposes. The most spirited bidding of the afternoon was occasioned by the sale, of Admiral Fairfax to Adam Sheetz, of Ipwa. It seemed that all the cattlemen wanted to obtain title to this beautiful animal which bears every resemblance to his famous ancestor, but when Sheetz began to raise the bids ssoojit a time it was seen that his will would not be denied and the hammer, fell at the $20,500. The crowd loudly cheered his gameness. (The beautiful little city of Kentland was a gala attire today today m honor of the army of cattle men that has swept down upon it to attend the sale of blooded cattle. They have come from foreign lands and from all parts of the United States. These lovers of Hereford cattle — some of them cattlemen from the western plains, some of them Kentucky colonels and Tennessee judges, or southern gentlemen from Atlanta, are here in force. Those from the west are in sombreros but the gentlemen from south and fropi far-off Argentina are wearing straw hats, They are mingling, together in harmonious association but under, their ■ masks of harmony there is easily dis- | tinguishable a look which means, I You will have to bid some if you get my chosen animal.” These I gentlemen are all of the type that pays for what it wants, and as the bidding started and bids were made for an individual animal in figures of “fours” and ‘‘five,” one began to realize that the reconstruction period for America is at hand and that these

Mr. McCray had not intended to sell Baron Fairfax, but at the last minute he was substituted for Richard Fairfax. The actual selling of the cattle did not begin until 1 o’clock this afternoon because a number of interested cattlemen were unfortunate and missed railway connections. When the first bull was brought into the selling ring the vast crowd almost to a man said, “Oh! you beauty.” This animal was Bellany Fairfax and an animal that merited each exclamation of admirtion that his appearance brought from the crowd. Bidding on this animal was spirited, but in the end he was sold to Mr. Williams, of South Dakota, for the handsome sum of $3,500. Then came Luther Fairfax. He, too, was a beauty and went quickly to George Gross, of Waldron, la., for $19,000. After Luther came his near relative, Hugo Fairfax.
