AN UNJUST RULING.

Last February, when the president
set aside the entire western part of
this county and parts of Grant and
Sierra counties for forest reservations
it was generally understood that sheep
and goats would be excluded there
from, but the order for their exclusion
was not enforced until about ten days
ago, and the owners of such animals had
begun to believe that no such order
would be made-at least before next
spring. But they were disillusioned
in very abrupt manner when the no
tice was given them to vacate as soon
as possible.
