Rock SPRINGS. Wy, Oct. 1.-THE
country north of Rock Springs is over
run with Indians who are wantonly
slaughtering game for the hides. These
red devils respect neither man or wo-
man, or the laws of the country. They
not only kill the game for the hides, but
annoy settlers by driving stock off the
ranges. About a month ago these lazy
vagabonds swooped down upon the
country southeast of Rock Springs and
cleaned up nearly everything in sight.
A fire which was started by the them is
now raging in the timber. They are
very insolent and do not hesitate to kill
the stock of settlers for their own use
They have with them 1900 or 5000
head of ponies. eating up every spear of
grass in the country. The settlers have
made complaint to the authorities, but
no effort has been made to stop the
depredations

Peoples Party NOmine For Register
G. D. Potts, the subject of this sketch
and nominee for register of deeds, was
born in Linn county, Kansas, in 1856.
His parents died in 1857 when he was
only year old After their death his
mothers brother came from Iowa, tax
ing he and his sister back with him.
Mr.. Potts was found a home with a
good old German, Mr.. Fred Teeman,
who lived in Henry county, Iowa, near
Mount Pleasant. He attended the dis
trict school near his home and by close
and persistent application he mastered
all the branches taught in the common
schools of our county. After his school
days were over he farmed for several
years for good old Mr.. Teeman, when
be joined that long caravan which at
that time was seeking home on the
boundless and productive prairies of
western Kansas. In 1886 he came di-
rect to Sherman county, taking claim
northwest of Brewster, where he has
lived since.
Mr.. Potts is one of our most success
full and progressive as well as intelli-
gent farmers. A man that to know is
to respect, and admire, for his actions
in every day life demand it. Twice
chosen as chairman of the county con-
vention he has filed it with consumate
skill as born to rule. He comes before
you asking you for the Office of regis
ter of deeds, with straight, honest
and honorable career, and as one
whose Populist principles are not to be
doubtec. The consumation of the de-
clarations and demands of the farmers
of the west is his great souls desire. If
elected you will find the office flied
with credit to himself and to the peo-
pie who put him there,

the many Observers who watched the
race from the hill. It is the opinion that
the start should not have been made
