Routt County Sheep Killing.


The Craig Courier of November 18th
reports another ruction between cattle
aud sheepmen on the Wyoming Routt
border. The affair was the outcome OF
persistent entertainments OF sheep on
cattle ranges. Nearly 1000 head of
sheep belonging to the Geddes Sheep
company. SUCCESSORS to the Edwards
out6t. we're killed.
It seems that "lines' had been agreed
upon at different times between the cat
tlemen and the Edwards and as often
violated by the latter, with the above
noted outcome.
As frequently pointed out in these
columns, cattle and sheep can only be
ranged In the same locality to the utter
ruin and extinction of the former in
dustry; hence, as matter Of self pres
ervat.On, cattlemen when pressed to the
wall will and are justified In resorting
TO extreme measures to protect their i'll
terests.
Commenting editorially on the Routt
county affair the Denver Stockman
makes very clear and forcible case for
the ranch and cattlemen, as follows:
"The stockmen of Routt county VIC
lated the law the other day when they
destroyed the tiocks of the Geddes Sheep
company, but there are few to be found
who will condemn them. One Of the
things that the average American has
bred in the bone is protection to his own
home, and the act of the Routt county
ranchers was due to that fact. While
each has his ranch and cultlvates, the
real product of the county and the pro-
duct which brings the profit and makes
living there possible is the cattle bust
ness. The ranch is but an auxiliary to
the range and If the range is DESTROYED
the ranch becomes useless. There is
but one way that sheep and cattle can
be grown together, and that Is to keep
them separated. The cattlemen were
established first in Routt county and
they feel that they must either keep the
sheep out or leave the country. There
is no law to protect them in their ex-
elusive use Of the public domain for
their cattle. but they claim the right
and it will be a pretty brave sheepman
who undertakes to drive them out"
