Notwithstanding the law guarantees to Tex
as drovers the privilege Of driving directly 10
Wichita, there has been SO much blowing by
outsiders and declarations TO the effect that
the farmers along the line of the trail would
band together to prevent the hcrding Of such
cattle upon the range in Sumner and Sedgwick
county. the council deemed it wise TO employ
some one to inquire into the matter. Mr.. w.
r. Jewett. a farmer of Park township, was
employed fer this work, and he performed il
most faithfully and satisfactory. From here to
the Indian territory line he found but single
farmer who i'm the least objected TO the drive
and who was not willing to leave out to ari,i-
tration any difference that might result from
damages to crops by cattle, aud he. even. IN
III" end, signed the agreement which all the
others had signed. 4 great many stray dol
lars find their way to the pockets of the set
tiers resulting from this trade that otherwise
would go to other points, while not boot in
all this region was lost from the spanish fever,
SO called. Cattle yards have been put up on
the Cowskin and Nennescah for the accommo-
dation of hcrders. Mr.. Jewett returned home
last week entirely satisfied with his work and
gratiied that he had met with SO little opposi-
tion
