"Whipple's Big Colt".--Jack Whipple was in town yesterday from his farm five miles northwest of Sidney. After putting up his team at Cantwell's barn, it became noised about that one of his animals was yearling colt of unusual size. Knowing that Uncle Jack has good horses, people were anxious to see the celebrated colt, and several called and looked him over as he stood quietly in his stall. Several guesses were made on his weight and it was the general opinion that 1200 pounds would not be far amiss, but later he was led onto the scales that tipped at 1115 pounds, He is no doubt the most phenominal colt in Fremont County.
