J AT WAR IN COLORADO.

} kIsENBrRG. Colo, Sept. G.
wv Reports received from
Sharpsdaie. a small town
near Mount Bianco, in Southern
Colorado. says that the feud over
. the use of the range. which has
long existed between cattle men
and sheep men. reached a climax
this week when the cattIemen
J drove 1900 sheep over high preci-
pice.
! The trouble has grown out Of the
scarcity OF water along the wa
ter courses. Where grass still re-
mains the sheep were pastured.
and after they had once passed
cattle refused to eat and either
died or became very poor.
The cattle men rose IN revolt. and
taking horses. corralled about 1900
, sheep. The sheep men protested.
but being unarmed they could do
, nothing. The sheep were then
driven down narrow gulch, at
the foot OF which an ancient wa
terfall had followed out pit over
300 feet deep.
Faster and faster the animals
ran. urged on by the shouts OF the
, cowboys, until the leader paused at
the brink. The press behind him
} forced him over, and the others
followed.
Some of the last. who fell on the
bodies OF the first, were not killed.
but the majority are dead.
1t is stated that the entire coun-
try has taken up arms.
