A LARGE part Of the expensive litiga-
ton arising IN North Dakota comes from
disputes between neighbors regarding
trespassing stock. Good. Woodworking
settlers who would otherwise pass life
time at peace with all around them are
set together by the ears because of the
encroachments of the snoopy" steer or
the mischlevous brencho. Men who can
Ill afford to lose dollar rush to Nip the
legal copper only to find that with both
plaintiff and defendant it is "hsads,
win tails. you lose" Civil suits lead to
criminal SUITS and the sorrowful but
helpless taxpayer must needs furnish
music for the dance. One man impounds
his neighbor's stock for assaulting the
straw. pile which he would burn up next
spring the nsighbor retaliates on the
original imnounder by IN turn seiZing his
stock when they come to nlbbls at his

1t is fact that nearly every farmer in
North Dakota is acquiring live stock as
