~ The Kansas Cow Boy says the KAN
Esas Stock Assoeiation Is raising $780,
600 to buy the railroad lind iii
the vicinity Of Dodge city for the pur-
pose Of keeping the trail and range open,
30 that shippers can hold cattle and drive
in to ship. Would it not be- wen for tho
Montana and Dakota ASSOCIATIONS to- take
time by the foreloek and buy up the land
at one or two points along The Northern
Pacific road while it can be bought at al
nominal figure and locate the govern
meHt land in the Immediate vicinity be-
fore settlers geGtoo strong hold Al
ready the railroad company is moving
the stock yards at Dickinson to 4 point
farther from the town, and business men
of Miles City are making an effort to;
have the stock yards at that place 10

At tho annual meetings Of leading cat
tie raising associations Of Texas in 1882
prompt and livery active measures were
taken to Danish the deadly six-shooter5
from the cattle mans belt. Resolutions
were passed unanimously pied dging own
lers Of ranches and cattle not to keep In
their employ any hands that would carry
deadly weapons. Tint spring there was
an absence of deadly encounters and;
shooting sprees obsery yable throughout
the range country. Last year no action!
was taken by stock men in convention
assembled in regard to the sssix- -sh0oter,s
and since that time serious and deadly
shots have been fired. In almost every
section Of the west murders are on the:
increase, and COW men are too often the
principals in the encounters. The six-
shooter loaded with deadly cartridges Isl
a dangerous companion for any man, es-S
pecially il he should unfortunately be-
primed with whisky. Cattle men should
unite in aiding the enforcement Of the
law against the carrying of deadly weaps;
ons. Lawlessness in any form IS hurt
full, morally and from business stand
point, and no business is injured more
than that Of cattle raising when its ern-s.
ployes are allowed to carry deadly weap-
ons. Then we would suggest to the
managers Of cattle ranches to see that
the six.shooter is banished from his
outfit II Texas Live Stock Journal. s
