nor the yolators Of the laws OF 'oe
state in which they reside Indeed, lhey
should use their influence to restrain
others whose passions have been
aroused and who seek to take the IA"
into their own hands
II must be understood that sheepmen
have their rights as well as cattlemen
and farmers. It seems that In this
case not only the county Inspector but
the United States inspector had given
the she p.owners a clean certificate
They we're on the public domain They
were not trespassers II, however 1t
can be shown that they were violating
any law, or regulation, or proper nee
strlcuon, they should have been pro-
ceeded against In a legal manner. Mob
Jaw mus, not prevail among us nor be
encouraged or winked at by men OF .n-
fdence who are looked up to as guides
There is no excuse for conduct Of that
Kind OF all people In the land the
Latier.day Saints should be the 0rs'
10 uphold the majesty Of the law and
regard as sacred the rights Of their ial-
lowmen.
II Is claimed BY the aggrI3yed parties
that the loss sustained by the fore0ule
expulsion Of their nocks and themselves
from Their hmbng ana sh.ar.1s
grounds, reaches at least $4,000 Also
that Il they are compelled to move 60
their destination by the route demanded
by their assailants the increased loss
may reach a similar amount This APP.
pears 10 be very much In the nature OF
oppression and the power Of m'ght
over right The matter should De- fully
investigated, and men of influence
should see TO It that brute force shall
not triumph over equity and justice.
We hope and believe That when the
excitement which has caused The at.
tack on the sheepmeu IN me ne,ghbur.
hood Of Star Valley has subsidized. even
those who were engaged '0 It SOD
that they have stepped beyond ON,
bounds Of prudence and right runda..
Also that IN great body OF 90. people
who dwell IN that vicinity Vm show
their disapproyal OF hwan.se n.
