HAVE A RED LEAD PENCIL?
THwARTINe CATTLE RusTLERs.

Pouncing on Their Sales and Compelling
Them to Provo Ownership.
Attempts to Illustrate cattle rustlers
on the western ranges have met with
so many failures that the cattle raisers
have started off on new tack with n
new law in Wyoming that permits
them to pounce upon the proceeds of
the rustlers' sales in the markets and
compel the proving of property before
they can get their money. With that
protection the cattle men have partly
abandoned the expensive methods of
protecting stock on the open ranges and
have employed inspectors to watch the
rustlers in the markets.
Under the law which was passed by
the late legislature the stock commits
sion was organized. All of the money
realized from the sale of nll estrays and
cattle of unknown ownership shipped
to Kansas city, Omaha and Chicago
must be sent to the commission. Its in
spectors look after the interests of the
small owners and keep the rustlers
from imposing on the buyers. The
money received is known as the estray
fund, and it has amounted this season
to more than fifty thousand dollars
The commission holds the fund until
proof of ownership of share has been
established. Cattle raisers are supplied
by each county clerk every six months
with lists of estrays that have been
sold for which the commission holds
the money. If cattle raiser can claim
any of the estrays he contests with the
rustlcrs before the commission. The
claim must be entered within a year,
because tho money is turned over to the
general fund of the state at the end of
that period. The commission will not
pay any of the money to the rustlers
except on the peremptory order of
court.
At present all cattle bearing q
rustler's brand, or believed to be of a
rustler's brand, according to the in
formation obtained by the commission,
are seized by the inspectors in the prin-
cipal markets and sold as estrays or cat
tie OF unknown ownership. The rustlers
swear and threaten, but they are asked
| in simple terms to show clear titles to
the stock. The results have been so
satisfactory that the commission has
taken holder step, on the ground that
bill of sale is not sufficient to cstab-
lish ownership and that any man who
buys bunch of cattle from anyone be-
lievcd to be a rustler is worse than q
| rustler.
Three men who had cattle with re-
corded and recognized brands bought
small punches from an outfit that, &C
cording to the belief of the commission,
belonged to rustlcrs, and shipped some
to Chicago. They received the money
for the cattle with the proper brand,
but the money for the cattle with the
suspected brand was sent to the COM
mission. Bills of sale from the sup
posed rustlers have been sent to the
commission at Cheyenne and suits at
law have been instituted, but the com
mission refuses to return dollar OF
the money. The argument is that by
fraudulent bills Of sale and collision
the rustlers might foil the efforts of the
commission to prevent them from steal
ing cattle.

A BIG FENCE
A Mile Long to be Erected Along the
South Side OF the Tracks.

Captain Learv. superintendent OF the
Union Pacific force of machinery erectors,
is in the city. He is here to make an
estimate on the big fence that the railroad
company is to build around their right
of way. The estimate will be forwarded
to Omaha and an order is expected at
once to go ahead with the work.
The fence will extend on the south side
of the tracks from Crow creek along
Twelfth street to the old Nebraska
division section house at the end of the
east yards. A fence will also connect with
each end aud go to the main tracks, thus
enclosing the yards on three sides.
The fence will be a solid board one with
barbwrre stretched along the top and will
be twelve feet high.
The fence is designed as a protection to
the company's property against stealing
and is made necessary by the large amount
of petty thieving continually going on.
The brass, copper, scrap iron and coal
that Is stolen from the yards every month
counts up to a big sum and it is hoped
hat the fence will help put a stop to the
loss. The fence will be about one mile
long without a break.

A LIVELY GAME.
The CapItoIs Play Ball and Capture
the Military Nine.

The ball game between the CapItols and
soldiers yesterday was a good one, the
soldiers being the most surprised fellows
in town. The Capitols made a sneak on
the soldier nine, and have been for the
past week playing practice games, getting
themselves in some kind of shape.
The pleasure of the game to the specta-
tors was somewhat lessened by the I'M
seemly jawing and horse play INDUCED in
between the different members OF the
teams and the onlookers. From the
amount OF guying INDUCED in a person
might well have thought they we're
watching a game between two hoodlum
mines playing on poverty flats.
Ed Stable umpired the strikes to the
satisfaction of both the contestants. Cap
tain DAILY was in the third inning re-
qucsted to umpire the bases. but be
seemed to have been put out there as a
mere fieurehead, as his decisions didn't
go until after a squabble and a wordy talk
had been INDUCED in by the two mines.
kamt ou thc WuOie, nOWtVeT, was q
good one. the best probably that has been
seen in the town.
The soldiers seemed to find the ball at
the beginning of the gamea and the second
inning knocked put three runs and scored
four more in the fourth. The score at
that time stood I to 2 and a number OF
town people left disguised, seeming to
think that the Capitols were not in it.
The fifth and sixth innings were white
washes on both sides, but in the seventh
and eighth the Capitols gathered them
selves together and commenced to slug.
They hit hard and were helped 10 win the
game BY the soldier center fielder, who
appeared to be adverse to holding onto a
nice easy fly. He dropped one and let
three OF the Capitols in. He dropped
several more easy ones and gave the game
to the town nine by a score of IL to I.
The Town people went wild with excite
ment while the soldiers gathered them
selves together and went home wondering
what had struck them.

In the case of ex-State Treasurer Edward I.
holland returned a verdict of guilty. on the
opening of court. this morning. and fixed
his punishment at two years in the peDi-

persons in the courtroom at the time, and
no demonstration of any kind followed.

Edward T.. holland was Treasurer of the
State of Missouri, having been elected to
