ROSE AND RUE

When I was a maiden fair and fond,
And smiled and sang all day,
A strange young squire
With looks of fire
He lured my heart away.
The gardeners son, as he stood by.
Four gifts thus gave to me:
The violet blue,
The pink, the rue,
And the red, red rosy tree.
For your balmy lips the sweet Glove pink
For your eyes the violets blue,
The rose to speak
Your radiant cheek,
And for memory the rue"
And first my love was fond and leal.
And then he turned untrue,
My rose and pink
And violets shrink,
But my tears keep fresh the rue.

ANOTHER BLOODY FIGHT
Between Sheepmen and Cattlemen in
OREGON.

oregon.
MITCHELL (Or.)July 31.-News has
been received of another bloody tight
between sheep men and cattle men In
Grant County. Manager O'Neil of the
Prineville Sheep and Land Company
received the information to-day from
Mitchell, the driver OF the Antelops
stage.
The fight took place on Snow Noun
tain and was a continuation of the war
that has been raging for some time in
that part of Oregon. This battle was
one of the most desperate and bloody
that has yet taken place.
Three sheep men were reported to
have been killed and two cattle men.
Jack Kitchen, an employe of the Prime
vile Company, was one OF the three
sheep men killed, and another was Err
nest Sherar, nephew OF Joseph Sherar,
thewell-k known wool grower and buyer
Young Sherar is we'll known to many of
the people of Fossil. Fer several years
he has been buying and shipping sheep
for his uncle.
There has been hard feeling for along
time between the cattle and sheep men
in that part of Oregon. NumberleSS
disputes have taken place over the pos
session and use of the ranges, the cattle
men asserting that the sheep drove the
cattle from the ranges. There has been
much hard talk, but until recently no
bloodshed. Within the past month,
however, there have been two bloody
fights. 1t is thought probable that the
authorities will now take some action
to prevent a recurrence of the trouble.
No details have yet been received of
the most recent battle. 1t is known,
however, that Sherar and Kitchen and
several others were driving a band of
sheep across the country to the railroad
at Huntington for shipment. The cat
tlemen tried to stop them and the fight
resulted.
