OUR WHITE sAvAGEs.

F-
Spring, with its "diptheriaip mild
ness comes apace, and besides awak-
ening the alternating reptiles and
thoughts Of the changing season, it
calls to mind the necessity for consid-
ering the greatest evil with which this
territory has to contend-highway rob-
berry. Nothing more hurtful than this
operates against the further develop
ment of Wyoming. Natural draw
backs al always be overcome, ahd
they never operate to the terror of new
coners.- But these gentry of the road
know no mercy, nor "a they be dis
suaded from their course, it seems,
by any other than the heroic treat
ment-cold lead pills. So a lack
Of treatment allows of extended oper-
atoms on the road, and as a conse-
quence travel and immigration is effec-
tually retarded. 1t is plain, therefore,
that if the northern and northwestern
portions of this territory are to be de-
veloped, road agency must be sup
pressed, and that Immediately. Already
have a few robberies occurred, which
fact proves, that even the extended and
thorough search for road agents made
last fall and winter, failed to either
drive or scare away those who escaped
capture or death. 1t may be regarded
as reasonably certain, that these white
savages will be as numerous along the
lines of travel and elsewhere in north
ern Wyoming, as they were last sum-
mer. Whether such a state of things
should be permitted to exist without
making strenuous efforts to break up
the predatory bands, need not be asked
in this community, which is vitality in
terested in the opening up and settle
ment of that section of the territory.
1t being granted, then, that the road
agents will prevail, and that they
should be suppressed, the inevitable
conclusion is that they must be sup
pressed. Who, then, is to accomplish
this, and how is it to be done? These
are questions we cannot be expected to
answer. They demand solution by
consideration on the part of our lead
ing officials and citizens. The point
We wish to make is that these persons
should proceed forthwith to the dis
charge of this duty which they owe to
the territory and to themselves. There
are times when a journal cannot only
show up wrongs which need correction,
but also prescribe the remedy. In the
case of road agency we can easily call
public attention thereto, as well as the
obstacle it becomes to further develop
ment. But to tell how to get rid of
the evil is something we are not pre-
pared to do, simply because most of the
known eficacious modes have already
failed of complete success. Something
new must be devised. To ascertain
what this shall be, lies to the debt of
our leading territorial and county off,
Gals.

Northern Colorado Round Up.

At a meeting Of the cattle men Of
the Ninth roundup district Of Colora-
do-including all the country north of
the Platte and Poudre rivers-it was
decided in favor of commencing the
roundup on the Goth of May. In ac-
cordance with their request the follow
ing was issued:
The undersigned commissioners of
the Ninth roundup district of Colo
RADIO, hereby announce that the first
legal roundup for said district for
1879, will begin at Julesburg on May
goth, and that the route, as nearly as
possible, will be as follows:.
Work up the Platte river to the
mouth of Cedar, there split, one party
work up Cedar and the other work up
Pawnee, and meet at Pawnee Buttes.
From the Buttes to Hunters lake,
taking in Wild Horse corral and south
Pawnee water holes, from Hunters
lake to Godfrey's bluffs, thence up the

AFTER The BATTLE.

The excitement attending the pleuro-
pneumonia scare has almost died away;
but the talk of IL has not ceased. Like
soldiers who safely emerge from a bat
tie, and talk yer the same and compare
points and incidents, the cattle men are
summing up the scare, to see the x
tent of the trouble and injury it may
have occasioned. 1t is also interesting
to know which section of the country.
was most affected and why. We bave
stated heretofore how the disease ragged
In the far east, and how it was also
manifested in the west. What follows,
will deal in two other sections, the
northwest and southwest.
The substance of our remarks has
been obtained from a lengthy cores.
pondence with several of the leading
cattle brokers in Chicago and one or
two other points, whose attention had
been attracted to several articles on the
subject published in the LEADER and
republished in some of the leading stock
and agricultural journals of the east.
These brokers are all old cattle breeders,
and are thoroughly posted on the
habits and ailings of the bovine king
dom. They have mtently watched the
condition of the thousands of cattle
which have passed through their
hands since the pleuro-pneumonia ex-
element began. The result of this
investigation leads them to a number of
conclusions. AS a general thing. they
say, the cattle which have come through
their yards during the past six months,
have been more healthy than for years
past. But Texas steers form an excep-
ton. A number of them were found
to be tainted with pleuro-pneumonia,
which, happily, soon disappeared in the
colder climate of the north. The pres
enc of the disease deprecated the
price of all Texas cattle; but the buyer
did not run a very great risk.
Another fact was discovered, the re-
lation of which is of much value to the
cattle breeders of Wyoming, as well as
to those of other places, where the
streams are likely to be frozen over in
the winter. The discovery was made
when a post mortem was held on a
plains steer which had died in transitu.
From the facts that no disease was APP
parent among the other cattle in the
car, that the steer was not killed by
violence, and that the animal had but
recently been brought from the healthy
plains, an examination was deemed i'm
portant, if not necessary. 1t was then
learned that the steer had died of q
form Of murrain which is frequently
found in plains cattle. The post NOR
tenn revealed the destroying work of
small leeches and insects, etc, which had
beentaken into the stomach. Their pres
ence was accounted for upon the theory
that on the ranges Of the northwest the
streams become frozen in the winter,
and upon holes being made in the ice
TO allow the cattle to drink, the para
sites gather at the opening and are
swallowed by the cattle with the water.
1t was observed that once In a while a
steer arrived which was evidently af-
fected by this species of murrain.
The dry murrain was also noticed
occasionally. This wa caused by the
stock feeding upon fodder and similar
dry food, and without sufficient pure
water to sswash It down. The food
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1879-03-26

lodges near the throat and forms into
a solid mass. The animals suffer greatly
for water, and, if It be not at hand,
they die, which is frequently the ease
on the cars, as they are forced to re-
main without water for an extended
time.
However, our cattle men are more inter-
ested In the matter of parasite-infected
streams. Our correspondent failed to
state from what place the dead steer
came, so it is an open question. From
a ten years. intimate acquaintance
with this section of the great north
western stock range, and its hundreds
of pure mountain streams, we are
enabled to assert positively, that, SO far
as Wyoming is concerned, it is entirely
free from parasite-infected streams, nor
do our cattle often suffer for the want
of water in mid-winter, as never
freezing springs are abundant near the
foothills where stock generally gathers
in severely cold weather.

The National Militia In wyoming.

Secretary Spates received yesterday a
letter from the National association of
militia of the United States, headquar-
ters at Brooklyn, N. Y, enclosing a
copy of a National militia bill, which it
is proposed to have adopted by congress,
and in aid of which the cooperation of
Wyoming is solicited.
The bill provides for the enrolment
OF all persons between the ages of IS
and As years, to be uniformed and
equipped at the expense Of the United
States, and provides for annual en-
