Some OF the sheep owners Of WyOm-
ing are annoying the Colorado sheep
inspectors. They have hit upon a nov
el and successful plan OF avoiding the
inspection laws. Dr. Solomon Book,
the state veterinarian, was In confer
encc with the chief cattle inspector at
the state capitol Friday as TO the best
method OF bringing these offenders to

cattle companies hnve leased Colorado
land Just ACROSS the Wyoming line In
IIarimer and Weld counties. Unin-
spected sheep are allowed to simply
roam" across the state line from land
owned by these concerns In Wyoming
to the land Of the same companies In
Colorado. Then from Colorado land to
Colorado markets the trip II easy. The
inspector stationed on the line At this
point has been unable to accomplish
much In preventing the trouble, Al
though he haa done as much In the ser
