demanded sustenance from the surrounding
ranchmen. They are mounted on stolen
horses and make raids. seizing cattle, poul-
try and horses. anything that will serve
their purposes. Last Sunday they rode into
the little town of Victor, demanded what
they wanted. and then boosted that no one
in Victor could stop them.

vigilance committee is being organized to
them. 1t is said that Sheriff Bowers is or
ganizing posse of deputy sherffs to pro-
coed against them. Warrants for every
member of the gang have been issued for
acts committed during the strike.
