fact, showing how this practice and the spirit
which prompts it tend to perpetuate them
selves, that the latest victims, who are testify

ions to do as much as they can To screen from
punishment the men at whose hands they have

Butler County in this State has a
heroine. For some time there has been
hot controversy for the possession Of thirty
acres of land between the heirs of William
Purviance and of, ID. -. Renfrew, repre-
senting the Forest Oil Company. Miss
Dot Purvianee. claims a patent from
the Government for the property
and recently the Board of Property at
Harrisburg decided that she was the right
full owner. She had hut erected on the
property and moved into it recently. Tues
day morning force of fifteen or twenty
men. employees of the Forest Oil Company,
attempted to eject the alleged intruder from
the premises. The first assault was made by
Ienfrew and his two SONS kicking in the
door. This raised the ire of Miss Pliviance,
who displayed a greater amount of courage
than is generally possessed by the female
sex. Armed with an old AK she struck right
and left, which unexpected and daring as
sault terroriZed the combined forces
against her, resulting in a general STAN
pede and hasty retreat of the Forest.

laughter of some hundred persons who We're
present to witness the scene. The Renfrews
attempted to rally their forces, offering by
ISLANDERS five dollars for assistance, but no
one responded. At this point Sheriff Don.

Purviance went to Butler and had the Rem
frews arrested for riot, and Renfrew had

and detainer. Miss Dot holds the fort and de-

CHEYENNE, wYo., April 5.
The tenth annual session of the Stock
Growers Association has closed, adjourn
ment being made to June 10. The session,
while nothing Of great Importance was
accomplished, has been one OF eunpre-
cedented interest, = insomIch as it con-
gregated the leading stoekmen of the
Territory and, outside s.fu of bublic
work, united them upon system CT
action that cannot fail in. the future to
be of advantage to all. A large number OF,
stock-growels have qeen interviewed; and
all are unanimous in saying that the loss
during the winter has been light, and that,
next season will witness shipment Of beef
cattle far beyond that of any other year.
Estimates are made that the wealth of
;tock-growers within the jurisdiction of this
association aggregates 800, 900, 000 and that
five years hence an assessment of $500, 000-
600 can be made. The most of the session
was devoted to routine business. and the
greater encouragement is derived from pli-
vate communication with leading stocEmen
who are enthusiastic in their predicticts for
the future. rf
