| A. A. Ellis called attention to the fact
that these bylaws made Red Lodge
creek the western boundary Of the ;,sso-
cations territory. He said the terri
tory Of the other association extended as
far east as Rock creek, and thus both
would cover the territory between the
two creeks. This might make ii posi-
bic for person in that section to collect
a bounty from both associations. y. C-
McCadden, secretary Of the Carbon
Stock association. who was present re-
Piled that his association required y
bounty claimcr to bring in the hide and
is destroyed. Thus, If this new associa-
tiop made the same requirements there
would be no chance of both paying
bounty on the same animal
James Bailey couldn't see much use of
a bounty on wolves, as there are no
wolves down in his country. He also
thought the bylaws should state the
age necessary in wolf to claim bounty,
as it is impossible to tell the difference
between young wolf and coyote. Mr..
Bailey also said he thought some of the
meetings of the association should be
held at Gebo, that being a more central
point than Red Lodge. On motion of
Alex. Underwood the day of meeting
was changed from Saturday to Friday.
Then motion by Mr.. Bailey carried
that the bylaws be voted on in q body.
L. Lendrum then moved that the by
laws be adopted This carried unani-
lousy Opportunity being given BY
the chairman for amendments to the by
laws, one was offered by Mr.. Underwood
that bounty chalmers be required to
bring the hide, the lower jaw and the
feet of the animal. This was carried.
Mr. Bailey then presented the matter
of having an association cattle roundup,
but Mr. Ellis was of the opinion that it
would be difficult to conduct 4 roundup
at time that would be convenient to
all the members of the association. He
thought It better to leave the arranging
OF rOundups to men Of the different
neighborhoods, independent OF the asso-
citation.
The chairman then announced that
election Of permanent officers was in Or
der. Alex. Underwood quickly nom
mated j. n. Tolman for president. There
We're no other nominations and the
choice of Mr.. Tolman to be the head Of
NOUS.
For vice president J. 4. Fowler nom
mated Alex. Underwood and Mr.. Boyd
placed the name OF James Banty before
the association. At this point the presi-
dent suggested the advisability of hay
ing a first and second vice president.
Floyd Spar made a motion that the by
laws be amended to that effect. Mr..
Under wood spoke against this. 1t failed
to carry when put to a vote. Ballot
then being taken, Underwood received
! votes and Banty 2, the former being
declared elected vice president
For secretary treasurer L. Lendrum
nominated Mr.. Banty and Marshall Hay
nominated L. Lendrum. 4. A. Ellis de-
cined nomination for the office. Mr.
Lendrum was elected, 6 to D
Three members of the association had |
to be chosen to act with the regular off
