Mr. a. r. Reader a Wyoming stock
man, who has had to abandon the
range of Carbon county and run the
greater portion of his stock in Routt
county on account of the encroach-
ments of sheep, writes that the report
that Edwards was forced into Colorado
by Tim Kinney's sheep taking posses
sion of that gentleman's range, is I'M
true AS a matter of fact, Mr. Reader
states that there was but one small
band of sheep running in the particu-
lar locality where it is reported Ed
wards claims he was forced to vacate.
It is, therefore, evident that the sum
and substance of the situation is that
Mr.. Edwards is determined to run his
sheep in Routt county.
