The meeting of the National Live
Stock Association held at Salt Lake
City last week was the most success
full session in the history Of the as
ISOLATION. Every phase Of the live
stock industry came in for its full
share Of the discussion, many good
points being brought out. AS soon
as the land-leasing problem was
sprung it was seen that this was a
dangerous topic for open discussion.
The delegates attending were badly
divided on the problem. At one
time the dissolution Of the big as
ISOLATION was threatened over the
measure, but President Springer
ended the difficulty by securing the
tabling Of the whole business: The
contest between Chicago and Omaha
for the 1902 meeting was spirited,
but good natured, Chicago winning
by good vote. Her victory in
securing the 1902 meeting is ascrib.
ed to the enthusiastic support OF the
Texas delegates. The association
chose the following officers:

SHOT HIS FRIEND.
Jack Moore Of Hermosa Accidentally
Shoots Clarence Lock wood.

fli 0AAVVtS OI0AcHVC AUChWUUus
Lou Hunts sporting house was
the scene of a deplorable shooting
ARRAY on Wednesday night OF last
week in which Clarence Lockwood
of Keystone almost lost his Life.
The shooting was entirely accident
al, so far as can be learned. Lock
wood and Moore were wal m friends
and were taking in the town TO-
gether. Going to Lou Hunts re-
sort along about IL o'clock. Lock-
wood carried an old-style Colts 45
caliber piece Of artillery and while
at the house drew the gun from his
pocket. Moore remons trated with
him and insisted that he put the gun
away. A good natured scuffie en-
sued during which the gun was ac-
cidentally discharged, the ball pass
ing through Lockwood's right arm
and into his abdomen penetrating
the large intestine, one kidney and
lodging near the surface in the small
Of the back near the spine. Medical
aid was at once summoned and every
thing possible done for the injured
man, but if he gets we'll it will be
next to miraculous. However, Lock
wood never lost consciousness for a
moment and as he is decidedly nervy
there is mere possibility that he
may pull through.
DR.. Rattle came down from keystone
and on Friday, assisted DR.. Gilbert
in removing the ball. The operation
was, successful and Lockwood seem
ed to stand it in good shape.
The UNION going to press one day
early last week, it failed to get the
item, as the shooting took place
about the time the paper was being
printed. After the shooting Moore
gave himself up promptly and was
lodged in the county Jail. He had
been employed BY Jerry King as
bartender for short time, coming
to this city from Hermosa. He and
Lockwood had long been warm
friends and as such wentouttogether
to take in the town. The injured
man also asserts that the shooting
was accidental. The fact that it
occurred at one Of the sporting
houses has stirred up considerable
feeling, but it might have happened
anywhere through the same careless
handling of firearms.

Queen Victoria Dead.

Victoria, queen of Great Britain,
died Of paralysis in London at 100
O'Clock Tuesday morning, after hav-
ing reigned as queen for sixty three
years. She assumed the English
throne at the age Of eis hteen, being
eighty-one years Of age at the time
of her death. Cablegrams Of conso-
slation poured in from all quarters Of
the earth at the announcement OF
the queens death.
The prince Of Wales is now the
supreme head Of the British govern
lment and it is prophesied that as a
ruler he will be instrumental in
bringing more trouble to his country
than has the late queen. Time alone
will tell this, however.

A bill was introduced to compel

A committee of the Business

mittees Of both houses tonight and
addresses were made by John H.

and G.. W. Albee. They made
strong pleas for exhibits at both
Buffalo and st. Louis, but devoted
their energies toward impressing
the committees with the necessity
Of an immigration Commissioners to
set forth the resources of the state
and work to secure settlers for the
state. It is hardly probable that
they will secure the desired office.
The editors got it in the neck
again by the passage Of the bill in
troduced by Price of Yapkton, re-
pealing the exrel affidavit now re-
quired to be attached to all affidavits
of publication. The exrel affidavit
is an affidavit in regard to the divi-
sion Of fess by heattorney i'll a case,
and has been one Of the greatest
safeguards that the publishers OF
the state have had against the ex-
tortion OF attorneys who give them
their publications, buts s,1emand a
"whack-up" on the fees. There
have been so many things presented
designed to cut down the income Of
country papers that the publishers
have not been able to make pro
per defense of their interests so far.
They were busy fighting the repeal
of the law authorizing the publiac-
tion, of certificates of nomination,
and did not discover the vicious
character of the Price measure I'M
til it came on for final passage in
the house. 1t will be vigorously
fought and probably defeated in the
senate, but it is evident that the
newspaper boys are going to get it
in the neck hard from this session,
| it being claimed that an effort will
also be made to get the laws relat-
ing to publication of insurance
statements changed in such man
ner that each company will only be
required to publish in one newspa-
per in the state instead Of in each
judicial circuit as at present. This
would reduce the number of these
juicy morsels from about $50 to 1875.
By the time the present legislature
gets through with the boys, the own
ers of republican papers will begin
to wonder where their share of the
much Wanted prosperity comes.

From reliable information receiv-s
ed at Cheyenne, Wyo., it is learned
that trouble has occurred between
the sheep and cattle men Of Converse
county, Wyo., which is likely to re-
suit in loss of life. The trouble
started some time ago when some
sheepmen attempted to run sheep on
one Of Ad. Spaugh's pastures.
Spaugh's men drove the sheepmen
away with guns. The cattle men
were then arrested and taken to
Lusk for threatening the sheepmen.
A few days ago the trouble broke
out afresh, when Lusk sheepmen
again encroached on Spaugh's range.
Both parties have armed men on
the field and trouble is likely to occur
at any moment. One Of the belli-
gerent parties purchased fifteen guns
in Lusk with which to defend the
disputed territory. Last Saturday
an armed band was known to be in
the vicinity of Lusk, and officers
were sent out, who arrested the en-
tire party and brought them into
town. Both parties are determined
not to yield and blood may be spilled
before the affair is settled Ad.
Spaugh is well known, being one Of
the heaviest cattle owners in Wyo-
ming.
Up to the time of going to press
there are no new developments in
the horse stealing affair across the
river. Three men said to be impli-
Gated in the crime have been arrest
led, r. G. Blassingame at the pre-.
liminary trial held Tuesday waived
examination and was placed unler

man who Is said to have received the
the stolen horses near Yankton, and
who was brought in on the train
Tuesday night by sheriff Courtney
also waived examination. His bail
1 was fixed at 81 800, Colin Macbeth,
the third man implicated was not
ready for trial and attorney, Mr..
Goodner, procured q continuance
until Thursday afternoon.

Reports from the scene of the re-
cent wholesale slaughter Of sheep on
Otter creek, northwest of Sheridan,
Wyo., state that all is quet. The big
reward offered by R. R. Selway for
information that would lead to the
arrest of the men who dubbed to
death 1000 head of his sheep has not
brought about the desired result.
The authorities suspect certain men,
but they have no evidence upon.
which to make the arrest. Other
sheep men in the district claimed
by the cattlemen are driving their
herds away, and as this is just what
the cattlemen desire the probabili-
ties are that there will be no more
trouble, at least not for some time.
