FARMERS MEETING on COAL
CREEK.
Movement to Protect Themselves From
Drovera and IerdOrs

a meeting OF the citizens OF school
district No. q, on Coal creek, Lyon
county, was held on the 18th inst, to
take some action TO protect themselves
from being imposed upon by the own
ers OF drOves OF cattle passing through
or stopping In that neighborhood.
The meeting was or ;anized by elect
Ing Griffith Hughes us chairman and
John II. Maddox as secretary.
1t was stated that very frequently
herds coming through the county will
stop number of days-sometimSs
weeks-anong the cattle of the neigh
oorhood, the owners very often water
Ing their stock, such az ponies and
horses, from the wells OF the settlers.
This, too, when there Is not water suf-
ficient in them for the owners own
use, thus compelling him to take his
own team TO the creek TO be watered
When asked peaceably not 70 take wa
ter from the wells; to move their herds
further or on the prairie, aud not TO
be interfering with the stock and
fences OF the citizens, they have re-
piled with q round of oaths, 90 Help
yourselves II you can. Where is your
law to compel as to leave"
In view of this state of things the
following resolutions were passed:
Resolved, That we notify the owners
OF the different herds OF cattle passing
through or stopping in this vicinity, TO
keep thsir stock together in the herds
and that they shall keep said herds
from mOlestlnG the settlers, rs there Is
plenty OF "elbOw room" on the vacant
pralries for them.
It was also
Resolved, That all bulls shall be kept
up or with tho herd, the same to be !
under the care of q herder; that we
Will not allow bulls to run at large.
ResotreG, That we bind ourselves TO |
enforce the above resolutions, and If |
they are not complied with we viii |
proceed according TO law.
Resolred, That the proceedings of
this meeting be sent to THE EMPoRTA
NEWS for publication.
