the territory are very much in earn
est in their desire for the organization
and equipment of q company of
rangers. to be used in Kidding their
section of train robbers cattle thieves

live on the industry and thrift of 9TH
ers. The great stretches of mountain
country and sparsely settled plains

certain before sheriffs and deputies
can strike the trail, and 1t is thought
a company of ten men, whose business
1T will be to protect property and ar
rest much wanted characters will con-
tribute in no small degree to driving
gsnes of raiders from the territory,
and making property interests secure.
