Notice.

1t being well known fact that for the
last year cattle and horses belonging to
residents of this vicinity have been
systematically driven from the range
between the forks of Beaver creek and
Little Rock creek, dogged, and calves roped
and dragged and otherwise maltreated by
parties known to us. and having allowed
this to continue until Patience has ceased
to be a virtue
Now, therefore, we, the undersigned,
hereby give notice that each and all of us
from this time forth will prosecute said
offenders to the full extent of the law.
