A Desperate Battle Between Them at
Snow Mountain.
FOSSIL, Wash, August ii. NJ. Smouth,
who arrived here yesterday from Canyon
City, brings news of a desperate battle be-
tween sheepmen and cattlemen on Snow
mountain, southwest Of Canyon City, in
Grant county. which took place about q
week ago. Smouth was at Muddy Station
when the Mitchell-Antelope stage driver
brought word to Mr.. Smith. manager of the
Prinsville Sheep and Land Company, that
Mr.. Kitchen, one of the companys en-
ployes, was one of three sheepmen killed,
two cattlemen being also slain. Another Of
the sheepmen killed was Ernest Shearer, a
nephew OF Joseph Shearer. a well-known
wool grower and buyer. For years young
Shearer has been buying and shipping
sheep for his uncle, and on the occasion of
the battle he. with several others. includ-
ing Mr. Kitchen, was driving a band Of
sheep across the county, TO, the railroad.
presumably to Huntington, for shipment.
Many sheep fights have been reported
this year which had no foundation in fact,
but the story of Mr.. Smouth Is generally
believed. There has been hard feeling for
q long time between the cattlemen and
sheepmen in Oregon. Numerous disputes
have taken place over the possession and
use Of the ranges, the cattlemen asserting
that the sheep drove the cattle from the
ranges.

portant motion in the $1.7OO,00O action
brought by the state against Armour & Co.
ard the Armour Packing Company for vio-
lations of the oleomargarine and butterine
law was before Justice Peter B. McLennan
in special term here today. The motion
was upon an order to show cause why sew
en- orders obtained by the state directing
as many railroad officials to produce their
books before a referee should not be vacat-
ed. Gen. B. F. Tracey and Frank H. Platt
of New York and Attorney Custer of Chi
cago appeared for Armour & Co.. and the
motion. and opposed were Senator Joseph
MGllin and Daniel A. Griffin of Watertown
and Attorney General Theodore E. Han
cock.
The state claims. that. the books of the
four big railroad corporations of this state
show shipment of bnttertne and other facts
which they are anxious to get at.
Gen. Tracey, who made the principal
argument for the motion. took the position
that the plaintiffs had no right to examine
third parties. Justice McLennan allowed
until September l in which to file briefs.
The motion is of the utmost Importance
as upon its decision the action will stand
or fall.

Sound Money Democrats of Ohio to
Meet Today.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio. August 1.-The con-
ference of sound money democrats Of the
state will be held late this afternoon in
ore of the parlors of the Neil House. The
attendance. 1t seems now, will not be large.
Excepting s. H Holden of Cleveland, ex-
Gov. Campbell and ex-senator Joe Nc
Maken of Hamilton. the only prominent
democrats taking an active part in the ar
ransements are local democrats. Among
these are T. P. Linn. ex-State Auditor Emil
kiezewetter. ex-County Auditor Frank
Reinnart. ex-Congressman Cultivate, E.
L. Hineman and F. W. Marrick.
Mr. Holden said in an interview this morn
ing that ii was not the purpose nor expecta-
ton to have large gathering of the gold
democrats here. merely a meeting of rep
resentatives. as it were. to talk over the
situation and arrange for representation in
the national convention at Indianapolis Mr.
Holden said he had sent out quite number
of letters to gold democrats, and had not
received a single unfavorable reply. Some
of them. on account of obligations they felt
themselves under to the party, would not
openly join the movement. but would be
with it In sympathy and with their votes
hr. Holden said he thought 1t would be
unWise to nominate separate state ticket
aid he thought that would not be done
He did not think 1t would be proposed. He
would oppose 1t and also the proposition to
nominate sound money local tickets If pro-
posed. While he did not think the move
Tnent in Ohio would be of much Significance
in the general result, he felt that the sound
money democrats here should Join the
movement which must be national In char
acter for the good 1t would do for sound
money in other states.
He Is very hopeful of the success of
sound money. and says there isn't any
question but that Mckinley will carry
Indiana, and Kentucky will take a stand
for sound money if a sound money demo-
crat Is nominated for the presidency.
