Show BIG HERD. On Saturday a herd of cattle passed through this place, destined for the stock markets at ?[Drattston], and the Powder river country. The animals were said to number nearly 4,000 head. They were obtained principally in Idaho; and are owned by Messrs. [Messieurs] Parsons and Whitney of Salt Lake. While the herd was passing through town, considerable anxiety was felt by those careless individuals who have allowed their cows and other horned stock to wander about the streets at their own sweet will. These persons feared that their animals would get mixed with the herd and driven away as "pick-ups;" but we have failed as yet to hear of any loss occasioned in that way. |
