MULES SELL UHEAP, Farmers Bid Spiritedly on Large Animals, But Stall on the « olts, Five Tenms For One Farmer a! $160, Joe Kindig, the well known desler in mules, of York, sold twenty head of Kentucks-"red mules at the livery bara in Centre Heal, Baturday safter- noop, A large number of farmers were on hand deepite the rain which began falling two hours before sale and continued until the last ani- mal wes gold, While there seemed to be a desire for the long-eared beasts on the part of the farmere, it was older and larger mules that were wanted es was proven when the first team of 2800-1b, animals was brought before suctioneer Mayes, This team started at $400 and jomped by fifty-dollar vids until knocked down to Shook Brothers of Peun Hall for $5675. Oae other fai:- 8iz:d team was sold but of the lot of twenty, fourteen head were colts and failed to impress the would-be pur- chasera very stroogly. While they were an extra good lot, go far as mules the entbusiastic in the prospect of two yess’ feediog to briog the animals to the eizs necessary for heavy farm work. The bidding on the colts was therefore discouraging to Mr, Kindig, who was holding his first sale here; and he appeared to show a feeling of solicitude for the farmers who were, figuratively speaking, slloxing gold d to lay in the mad before them, For one mar, for mule was James 8, Weaver, of Aaronsburg, purchesed five teams at an average priee of $160.

The elk are due to arrive there this week and they will be immediately released at the state game preserve, The animals will be unloaded at How - ard Bidiog, five miles above Empor- ium, and placed in racks to be hsuled seven miles by wagon to the preserve, where they will be turned loose. Howard Eaton, of Wyoming, who is engaged in capturing the twenty-five elk, is accompanying the animals to see that they arrive in good condition. Later in the winter fifty deer will be turned loose in the preserve, it is ssid, There are at present a few deer in that section but no elk, The state will purchase a hundred elk and 1500 deer this winter, to be turned Joose in vari- ous sections of the state. Of the 100 elk purchased it is fortunate that that section should get a fourth of the namber. The vicinity around Hicks Run is such as to provice a good plece for elk, and in several seasons the herd should increase in number, The deer which will be shipped to this state later are being taken from the wilds of Wisconsin snd Michigsn, The elk that will be received for the Hicks Run preserve are wild, and were taken right out of the woods and loaded onto the railroad car for ship- ment. The twenty-five animals sre beiog shipped in one car, all the ani- mals being loose In the car, They are described as being fine elk, and some of the best specimens that are running wild in the state of Wyoming. State Game Protector Kelly hss written to the Blate Game Commie sion in an effor: to get some ringneck- ed pheasants for tbat loeslity, The game commision is sending ship- ments of these birds throughout the state, and as that section is especially adapted for thew, it is believed that not a few will be turned loose in the woods near Du Bole. An effort Is also being made to get some for that eec- tion. RE ——— i ————— LOCALS Mre. H, C. Shirk spent a few days Inst week with her brother, J. B. Royer, in Altoons.
