Cattiemens on tho fringe of the San Carlos Indian reservation. CT adjacent thereto, are greatly perturbea by the Threatened enforcement of an order requiring them to remove their stock beyond the lines of the Reservation, which are-only conventional IS there has never been a legal survey defining metes and bounds of that home of the Apaches. Tho order, orally commu- nicated, is that cattle remaining on the reservation after certain date or returning at D subsequent period are to be driven to tho agency aad there impounded. This procedurs on the part of the military would indeed be hard on owners of stock thus illegally seized were it not that the civil law affords redress. A writ of replevin sued out of 8 civil court would bring the case where the right of distraint could be heard and determined, and as there is no law authorizing such a seizure as is contemplated by the or der referred to. the distralEiDg party would not only have the costs to pay bus be mulcted in damages for his or their illegal action in the premises. Admitting that the surveys are sufi- cieutly definite and legal to define the boundaries of the Reservation, to pro tect it from encroachment by trespass- ing cattle. even then the way proposed by the order Is not the proper pro- cedure. An action of trespass would be the proper and only effective remedy against damages committed on the Reservation by trespassing cattle. In this action proof would have to be in- troducea as to the amount of the dam ages sustained, and determined by jary and not upon the mere ipse dixit of military officer.
 Why not fence the Reservation? It would only require a line of two hun dred and fifty miles to enclose 1t.
