sheepmen,s protectIve Union

Pursuant TO call, q very large num-
Der of shecpmen and stockmen from AL
over the county met st Condor Saturday
for the purpose Of considering the adyis-
ability Of making mp another dollar per
head as bounty for coyote scalps, TO be
added to the 81 per head to he paid by
the county. II was very enthusiastic
meeting and all were unanimously In
favor Of the bounty, the union deciding
for the same to take effect frOm July 9Th,
which wac the date the county court
made the order to pay Il per scalp, In
order TO raise the amount thought
to be necessary, the union decided upon
an assessment Of one.half cent per head
Of all sheep subscr bed. Already over
10000 head are subscribed and there is
no doubt that this number can be donb-
led within a few days, as no one has Jet
heard Of sheepman or stockman in the
county who is opposed to paying the
bounty. A great many stockmen who
do not own any sheep have subscribed
from $40 to S25 each in order to assist in
the effort to rid the county Of this pest.
The union organized by electing the
following officers: X. q. Robinson pres
ident; Wm. Rettie, vice president; G..
