THE POLLARD -eaecktNRlDes TRIAL.
Judge Wilson's Closing Argument In ths
Famous Case.

Judge Wilson's Closing Argument In tho
Famous Case.
WASHINGTON, April i4.--The great
speech of Major Ben Butterworth in the
Pollard -Breckinridge case was surpassed
Friday by the greater. argument Of
Judge Jerc Wilson, who began the final
summary for the plaintiff. "The defense
of Adam" was what he called Colonel
Breckinridge's position. On two or three
important points he drew logical deduc-
tions from the evidence which surprieed
even the lawyers. He has u long right
arm, tipped with an accusing index
finger, which serves to drive his deduc-
tions home. That long bony forefnger
was several times levelled in denuncia-
ton at Colonel Breckinridge, which
made the Kentucky orator shift rest
lessly in his chair. 1t was terrible ar
raignment 10 which he was subjected,
and he would have been something more
or less human should he not have shown
the effect OF it as he did.
Mr.. Wilson commented OH the circum-
stances that no witnesses had been
brought from Kentucky regarding the
general character of the defendant as a
man who kept his contracts and was
chaste. On the other hand, everyone
from Kentucky or Washington who had
been asked concerning the character OF
Madeline Pollard had said she was wo-
man. from girlhood, of the greatest 10.

Cattle ~ sheep.

CHAMBERLAIN, ;. d., April 13.-The
exodus of thousands of sheep from the
ranges of Wyoming to the ranges Of
western South Dakota is already caus-
ing great deal of complaint on the
part of South Dakota cattlemen, and in
time it is certain that tins feeling will
result in open conflict between the cat
tie and sheep owners, and that the
sheepmen will be driven off the ranges,
as was and is now the case in Wyoming.
The most of the sheep that have already
been taken from the ranges Of Wyo-
ming on account of the threats of the
eattlemen there, have been placed on
the ranges in Fall River county, this
state. 1t is estimated that fully H., 900
of the animals have arrived in Fall
River county since the commencement
Of the trouble in Wyoming. A
Fall River county cattleman,
in the following letter, gives
the reasons why the cattle
raising end sheep raising industries q"
otner. we sometimes wonder II the
newspapers which are welcoming the
advent of sheepmen realize what "a
large influx of sheep means to the
small cattlemen OF this country. Set
Elements have sprung up here, princi-
pally along the streams, of men with
small lunches of cattle. These men
have used all their land rights and have
invested good deal of money and
great deal more of hard work In vari-
Gus improvements, all Of which would
be of no value to them were it not for
the government grass land lying ali
around them. What then will be the
result if that grass land were overrup
with sheep, which any stockman knows
will live and thrive on a range so short
that cattle cannot possibly live. 1t will
be readily seen that a flock of sheep can
be moved onto range already amply
stocked with cattle, and that the sheer
will thrive while the cattle will be
starved out, There certainly can be
no question as To which industry of the
two is conducive to the best interests
of the country. One herder on foot
can care for thousand sheep the year
round, while the range that they oc-
