The Trail is Opened.

In it's issue of two weeks ago The
SToCKMAN stated that the attempt
to establish a cattle trail through
Pine Ridge and Rosebud resel yes
to the Nebraska line had failed. The
statement was made on what was
thought to be the best authority
but it was an error nevertheless.
The decision by the secretary Of the
interior as given in the matter last
week permits the driving of cattle
across the reservations under GER
tain restrictions, without regard to
any fixed route. A prominent cat

the territory affected by the decls-

following language to The Stock

Fost of the United States district
court ruled that the live stock ex-
change at Kansas City, Mo-, was H.
legal and a violation of the anti
trust act and has since issued an or
der dissolving the live stock ex-
change as an organization. The
action was brought by the district
attorney about one year ago and the
decision handed down by Judge Fos-
ter last week hold that the live stock
exchange is an unlawful combina-
tion restraining trade between the
states; that it's members are en-
gagged in inter state commerce, and
grants an inj junction agains their
confederating together "fOr the un-
lawful purposes Of their association.
The decision caused considerable
stir at Kansas City when It was re-
ceived
A similar action was commenced
last Thursday against the live stock
exchange of South Omaha by Unit
ed States Attorney Sawyer, who is
acting under the direction of Attor-
ney General McKenna, alleging that
the operation of the exchange is a
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law, and asking that the members Of
the body be perpetually enjoined
from maintaining the organ zation
The petition is quite lengthy and
sets forth that all stock received at
South Omaha must pass through

the exchange has created and was
designed to create a monopoly on all
live stock business at South Omaha

eral states and territories.
Several Of the rules and bylaws
of the exchange are set forth as be-
ing q restraint to trade and intend

ther alleged that the organization is
a conspiracy to violate the law of

the Sherman antitrust law; that
the members have confederated to-
gether for the purpose of monopo-
lizing the buying and selling of live
stock, in restraint of trade and CON-
