Medicine Lodge hader: It is reported
that several beeves have been clandes-

the brands Obliterated and the hides
buried, so that if discovered, the scoun-

convicted. Right here and now we pre-
dict that if this lawlessness is continued
there viii trouble arise, and if any one is
caught killing anOther's cattle out there,
or in this county, 1t may be decided that
the law is too slow to attempt to wait for
it; and justice may be administered in a
surer and shorter way. This suggestion
is for those not acquainted with the GUS
toms of the country, established many
years since.
