It Is now positively settled when the
roundup In Barber county will commence.
The roundup parties having finished the
Territory with the exception Of the Com
anche Pool met last Friday and decided
that work shonld commence here on
Thursday, June 18th, and that all persons
interested would meet on Wednesday next,
in order to be ready for work the fol-
lowing morning.
The county is divided into two divisions,
as follows. No. /, VIM. Kelly captain, is
that part Of Barber county west of Cedar
mountains ande east Of the Medicine river as
far north as Medicine Lodge and that part
OF the county south and west of the river.
This division will meet at Campbell's ranch
and werk west and north to the Lodge,
thence on the south and west of the Medi-
cine river to the west line of Barber county.
Division No. 2, j. p. Elsea, captain is
composed of the Sand creek country, east
and north, anu all country north of the
Cedar mountains, west of Medicine Lodge,
and that part Of Barber county north OF
the Medicine river to Medicine Lodge.
This division will meet at Campbell's
ranch, and work UP Sand creek and the
country north OF the Cedar mountains,
thence west including all country north of
the Medicine river to the west line of Bar
Der county.
Division land as described above, af-
ter working Barber county will meet at
Giants ranch, miles west of Sun City,
and work up the Medicine river, including
Mule, Soldier, Thompson and Spring creeks
aud their tributaries. John Sidener to be
captain of the combined divisions, or such
other men as the Comanche stockmen may
select.
There is disposition this year to make
a Cleaner roundup than was ever known in
the county, and this will no doubt meet
with the hearty approval of every stock
man. At all times men are anxious to
know how they stand financially, and most
of the property in this county being live
stock-cattle-it is first necessary to know
how many horns and hoofs man can
count before he can figure on his wealth.
Experience has demonstrated that 1t will
not do to handle cattle too frequently, and
that best results are obtained from keeping
stock on their range without interruption
from the time the first heel fly buzzes
until the frost has nipped the last screw
worm.
Continual roundups, cutting ont, brand
ing and re-branding, counting and top
ping, causes loss Of flesh which is agloss of
money.
We have no doubt the work will be car
ried on with that judgement that should
be looked for from the intelligent gentle
men having the roundup in charge this
year.

Watch the Passing Hsrds

Lately number of large punches of cat
tie from the east have been driven through
this county, enroute to western ranges.
So many Of eur stOckmen being absent on
the Territory roundup, these herds have
not been as closely looked over for cattle
belonging on this range as they should
have been, and we do not doubt but sever
al Barber county animals will be marked
on the dead list when in fact they will
spend this season, and perhaps many more,
on new ranges in the far west. Capt.
F. B. Hunt saw herd the other day pass
ing his place which he concluded to look
through, and without any effort discovered
four animals that did not belong in the
bunch, and the owner could give no ac-
count Of how he came by them. These
were I'D connected, bar IA, round top
A and an Arkansas maverick. These are
all on Capt. Hunts range, north west Of
here, where the owners can get them at
any time.
1t would be well for stockmen to look
through every bunch that passes through
this county; find out what brand the drover
claims and cut out every animal that hasn't
that brand on 1t, and run the risk of the
real owner getting his property.

Go to sheldon's to buy your notions.

We are in receipt Of a letter FROM Roll
B. Clark, dated st. Louis, who has just re-
turned from prospecting tonr through Ar
iona. He does not like that country and
says he saw nothing that equalled Barber
county and the Indian Territory. He is
now in San Antonio, Texas. In conclud-
ing his description of Arizona, Roll drop
into verse and says:
An earthquake which would shake the land,
Or some great subterranean motion,
And leave this track of barren sand
The pavement of Il heaying ocean;
Some huge, convIlsive water shake,
Some terrible spasmodic movement
Sabsiding but to leave lake,
Would be most desired Improvement
