Gas this was test case it virtually
decides that prohibition is to be dead
letter I'm the community. From the
present outlook we should say that il
would be policy for to tax the liquor
traffic, hire n good marshal-a killer
and a competent police force, and letter
spin: We had just as well prepare for
the future"
The above is from the Cresset of yes
terday. How long has it been since
that paper opposed the system of fines
inaugurated by the last council. and
how long since it declared the prohibi-
ton law must be enforced
But we must disagree with our errat-
&c neighbor. No killers are needed
in this community, either as officers OF
civilians. Our people are not so bad
that they must be intimidated by "kill-
ers." No cow boy who comes to this
town is SO demoralized that'it requires
killer to quiet him.

THE ROUNDUP.

The roundup of Barber county was to
have been completed to the west line of
the county to-day; when 1t has been ar
ranged for the Comanche work to COM
mence at once, under the leadership of
John Sidener, who has been named as
captain.
The work through this county has
been by no meaus satisfactory. Stock
men claim that water is so plentiful all
over the range, in the canyons and on
the uplands, that cattle have been scat
tered more than usual, and that many
must have been overlooked in going
through the county during the present
roundup. IL has been decided 10 make
another roundup Of the county com
mencing as soon rs men and horses
have been sufficiently rested.
In this connection we may mention
that il has also been decided to make
another roundup Of the Territory, com
mencing at SHOWS range, south of
Caldwell. on Friday July 10Th; and
work west in two divisions, in the or
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1883-07-13

der followed by the roundup that COM
pleted the Territory few weeks since.
We have been requested to call a
meeting of all Barber county stOckmen,
without regard to any association or or
ganiZation, to meet at this place at
O'Clock on Saturday, July 2lst. At that
meeting will be considered the best
means of dividing the county into con-
venient districts, appointing captains
of each, and arranging the date for COM
mencing this second roundup. Also to
sepd men to meet the second roundup
of the Territory.
The plan of working the comfy by
neighborhoods, stockmen claim, will be
more satisfactory than the plan of divid-
ing it into two parts.
StOckmen should be present at this
meeting. 1t is not an affair of the
county association or the southwest as
ISOLATION, but meeting of stockmen.
Remember the day, Saturday, July IL
at Medicine Lodge.

a prohibitiOnist candidate for sheriff
In the eastern part of the state says
that II elected he will see to 1t that the
prohibitory law is enforced, and will
allow only prohibitionists to sit on ju-
ries. And on this line the prohibition
lists over the state expect to make their
fight this fall. The Kansas Prohibi-
ZIONIST says as much in the following
extract:
Don't delude yourself with the idea
that the county elections this fall are of
no Importance. The success of prohi-
bition will largely depend upon our con-
duct In selecting our next sheriffs.
With men pledged 10 enforce every law
IN that Office the problem of prohibition
will be easily solved. With officers who
will every day pass places where the
law N publicly violated and make no eff

We are democrats, republicans OF green
hackers, and resolve 20 vote for only
such men as we know will enforce ev-
cry law. By AL means lot US SCI uro n Q

IL Is now settled fact that this coun-
ty will have no inspector of stock at
Kansas City, and if any animals are
driven from this range by others than
the owners, 1t is not likely they will be
heard from again. Our stockmen had
the opportunity Of securing the services
OF a regular inspector for very small
salary, but they chose to let the matter
go by default and run the risk Of losing
no cattle. 1t was only necessary that
5000 head be listed and assessed ONE
CENT per head, TO raise the money nee
essary to employ an Inspector; but even
this small amount was not subscribed.
We certainly think this neglect was a
serious mistake; but we are not to
blame. Last March the INDEX advO-
Gated this matter and since then has
continually urged stockmen to come
forward and list their cattle. a few
energetic men have tried to get up an
interest In this inspection business, but
have failed. The only thing that now
remains to be done is for individuals to
secure the services of some one at Kan
sas City, provide him with power of at
torney and pay him five dollars head
for every animal recovered. We under
stand that Mr.. III. X. Johnion, inspect
or for the Cherokee Strip Live Stock
Association will look after any brand
for this compensation. II will be as
we'll to correspond with him at once.
One thing is certain he will not look af-
ter strayed or stolen animals unless he
is requested to do so by the owners, and
then he must be provided with written
authority to act for the owners.
