Black Hills stockmen are considering
the proposition made by Agent Brown,
of Pine Ridge, that the government
would furnish posts and wire if the
stockmen would construct o fence along
the northwestern border of the Pine
Ridge reservation. The fence would be
80 miles in length and the object of its
construction is for the prevention of any
possibility Of trouble between the Indians
and the stockmen over cattle that may
stray to the reservation. Mayor Woods,
of Rapid City, who is one of the largest
stockmen in the Black Hills region, is of
the opinion that the usefulness Of the
fence would be impaired by the efforts
which would continually have to be made
to keep it in good condition. 1t islikely,
however, that the fence will be built the
coming summer. ,
