Horse killing.

Tho Legislature OF 1897 passed u
law authorizing the Commissioners
to grant permits to kill Wild, unbrand
al horses, mares or colts, over the age
o! twelve months, found at
large on any Of the Government
range lands OF the State OF Nevada.
The law also authorizes to revoke the
permits so granted ut any time.
Statutes 1897, page 90.
The intention OF the Legislature
was good, rs there are thousands OF
wild, unbranded horses. over one
year old. running at large on the
Government range lands OF Nevada,
and could they be cxtcrminaied in "A
lawful way it would bc OF great beue.

tie branded horses not on Govern
mcut range lands, that the owners
value and have usc for, are being
slaughtered right and left, and the
Indians horses are beng cxtcrmin
ated. That is the result Of the abuse
OF the law. \ man takes his rifle
and goes ont tn shoot horses. What
for? Because he can sell the hide for
