WASA GAME OF PIPE
REPORT OF CLARK COUNTY CATTLE
CONVENTION MISINTERPRETED.

Convention Was Called Reported and An
Organization Effected But the Scheme
to DepopuIate a County All Came From
the lima gination of a Few Fellows Who
Were Sat Upon-B, II. Campbell Says
the Interpretation Is Nothing More
Than Bosh-what Led Up to All the
Trouble Is Report Only.
Some days ago the Eagle published an
account OF an alleged attempt on the part
OF B. H Campbell OF Wichita and other
cattlemen Of Clark county 10 freeze out
the small dealers and farmers Of the
county IN favor of a few big ranchmen.
A large part Of the land in Clark county
has been proved up and mortgaged, and
has passed from the hands of the mort
gage holders into the hands OF few big
cattle men and syndicates. The county
is mostly fenced into great pastures, no
attention being paid TO leaving out unoc-
cupied claims, farms, government lands
and school lands, but all taken in and
utilized for pasture by the big cattle
men.
When one Of them acquires an addition
TO his pasture he usually fences it IN
with all there is between what he had
and what he is after, and everything in
his way, whether farm or small past
ure or anything else.
The story was that a notice was issued
TO all the cattle owners in the county 10
meet at Ashland some three or four
weeks ago, 10 hear plans for the benefit
of all the owners Of cattle in the county.
A large number of them got together on
time and Barbecue Campbell had pre-
pared and read a lot Of resolutions, set
ting forth that it was TO the interest of
all cattlemen, both great and small, to
combine together for defending the
rights Of all. Of course these resolutions
were unanimously adopted. Then the
constitution and bylaws Of the proposed
association, already prepared, were also
read and adopted, and everything went
on swimmingly. This constitution and
bylaws arranged for the election of the
usual officers, and also for a judiciary
which was 10 judge offenses against the
laws of the association and fix the pun
ishment for offenses. On adjournment
another meeting was arranged for 10
perfect the organization.
Another meeting was called at which it
was attempted 10 have members bind
themselves TO not permit any person 10
settle upon a claim or TO purchase any
land, or lease any land belonging 10 an
other person, nor any school land with
in any fenced pasture occupied by any
member OF the association This was
lost by a vote OF 9 10 II, and the meeting
broke I'D in a row.
The report that the whole thing was a
cold blooded effort on the part Of the
heavy owners of cattle, Mr.. Campbell
says. is bosh.
A big caftleman from West Clark and
Meade counties, who does not wish his
name used, said:
The whole report grew out Of the talk
Of some OF the fellows who wanted more
say in the convention than they were
entitled 10 and were sat upon There
was meeting, IL is true. and an organi-
cation perfected, but it mad no such pur-
pose as that alleged. 1t is cattle coun-
try, however, and one day not half a
dozen years away will see the whole
country under the cattlemen.''

San Antouio Badly In Ned Of One, With
The Prospects Favorable-Ihe z
Westhe

Copious rains are reported as having
fallen in various parts of the state in
the past few days and the prospects
for crops are much better, so persons
arriving in the city state.
Notwithstanding this fact San An
tonic has not yet been visited by one
although badly in need of a soaker
but the prospect for one is very good
and knowing ones say that we will be
visited by good rain in a short
while as all indications point that
way.
The indications We're very good last
night and some few heavy drops fell
in the eastern part of the city, but not
enough to settle the dust.
A rain is necessary in few days or
it will be too. late to be of benefit to
the crops around San Antonio.
AS will be seen by the weather OBJ
servers report appended no rain is
scheduled for San Antonio, according
to meteorological observations, but it
has fallen throughout the northern
part of the state.
