A minority report signed by Jas. Wilson,
and Geo w. Hendrickson agrees with tile
majority report in all particulars but one.
The minority would have the roundup on
the Barbour and Comanche county ranges
June IL, instead Of waiting until the Cher
okee Strip roundup parties have complet,
ed their work to the western boundary OF
the Conianche Pool.
Mr.. Wilson spoke in favor of the minor
ity report, giving the opinion that by the
time the western boundary of the pool is
reached that it will be so late in the season
as to be of great Inconvenience to parties
who have contracted cattle for an earlier
delivery.
Mr. Payne and Mr.. Walton favored the
majority report, and after some further
discussion it was adopted. o,y =
