The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1891-08-27

Johnston, Of Spokane, q representative
OF the land department Of the Northern
Pacific, Is here in response to q call Of
outraged settlers who are protesting
against the invasiOns and unlawful en-
croachment Of itinerant sheep men. Mr..
Johnston has been 10 Klickitat county
where he has seen valuable lands render
ed almost totally worthless by these
predatory nomads, who neither observe
the law nor the natural rights Of settlers,
and In behalf Of the latter he has taken
up the cause and will support them as
far as it is in his power. He has author
lied W. B. Morse to look after the COM
pany's lands In this section and instructed
him to warn sheep men to keep their
fOcks therefrom, and, in case Of failure
TO comply with the warning, to swear out
warrants for the arrest Of the trepasSers,
who will be vigorously prosecuted by ].
H. Mitchell, the attorney Of the Northern
Pacific. That the people Of the Wenas
and Natcheez deeply feel the injury that
is being done them through the destruc-
ton Of the range, and the utter lack Of
consideration that is shown to private
rights and interests by sheep men, is evi-
denced by the call for meeting to be
held at the Cowan school house, on the
Wenas, on Saturday, September 18th,
when measures will be canvassed and
action taken to prevent further depreda-
tons Ia this respect.
