SHEEPMEN FORM

Propose to Lease Ranges
so as to Exclude the
Cattle Kings.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Dec. 5.-A gigantic
combination is being formed at Rawlins
by the sheepmen of what is known as
the Sweetwater country for the purpose
of excluding flockmasters from Utah and
local cattlemen from encroaching upon
what is known as the Red Dester winter
ranges in Sweetwater County. 1t is pro-
posed to lease and buy from the Union
Pacific every alternate section owned by
the company and thereby control approx
irnately !. 500, 900 acres of the finest win
ter feeding ground in the West.
BY leasing all Of the land, which will
also give them control of the alternate
Government sections, the sheepmen will
hold full sway, and range conflicts, which
have been frequent, will come to an end.
The sheepmen who propose to lease the
land have offered the railroad company a
rate of 1 cent per acre, or $4S00 per year,
for the land. The proposition has been
wired to the Union Pacific general offices
at Omaha, and 1t is expected that the
deal will be closed in a few days.

MORGAN CITY CASE
IS STILL ON TRIAL
Defense Contends That Charter Party
of the Wrecked Ship Is Not
Valid

The trial of the suit of the La Due Gold
Mining and Development Company
against the Frankfort Marine Insurance
Company occupied yesterdays session Of
the Circuit Court. The case hangs upon
the validity of the charter party of the
wrecked Morgan City, the freight upon
which had been insured with the defend
ant. The defense has raised the conten-
ton that the charter party is void because
at the time it was made between the Gov
ernment and the firm of Barneson & Chill
colt, John BarneSon, senior member Of
the firm, was also an officer of the Gov
ernment and was prohibited by statute
from being a party to the contract.
Captain Barneson raises the point that
at the time of the signing of the charter
party he was a member of the firm of
Earneson & Chilcott and was not con-
nected with the Government service in
any manner. Several months afterward,
when the Government renewed the char
ter party for the services Of the Morgan
City as army transport, he was marine
superintendent of army transports but he
contends that that fact did not invalidate
the agreement. The case will be resumed
this morning.
