she should in part repay by making
his trip through the State ono con.
tinuous ovation. We suggest that a

sary arrangements.
Mr.. Joseph Smith, OF Ruby Valley,
came in last night and spent the day
in town. He reports that large bands
OF wild bronco horses are roaming
over the ranges ef that section to the
injury OF the cattle and other inter-
sets. He thinks the last Legislature
should have passed an act authoriz-
ing the destruction OF this class Of
horses. From what he says they are
a great injury to the range and ought
to be cx:crminated. 1t might be well
for our future legislators to give this
matter their serious attention.
