DECISION ON GRAZING LANDS
wyoming supreme Court Declares IL
legal the Use of Unfenced
Land of Another.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., March 31.-(Special
Telegram "A decision of vital importance
to stockmen who have for years been graz
ing their stock on the alternate sections oi
government land embraced within the rail-
road land grants was today rendered by
the Wyoming supreme court in the case oi
Cosgriff Bros, plaintiffs In error, agains.
l. c. Miller, defendant in error
Cosgriff Bros. grazed large bands of sheep
on the public land in Carbon county, form
Ing the alternate sections with the rail-
road lands owned by the Union Pacific
Miller leased large tract from the rail-
road company and was enjoying the free
use Of the government land adjoining. The
Cosgriffs used the government sections
claiming they had as much right there az
Miller. but 1t was impossible for them to
pass from one section of government land
to another without trespassing upon the
leased railroad tracts of Miller. The latter
brought suit for $4,000 damages for trespass
and won. the case being appealed to the
higher court.
The decision Of the supreme court afirms
,he Iudemeut Of the lower couct and in ef-
feet holds that the grazing of stock on the
unfenced land of another. although such
land is not marked as to boundary, consti-
luleS lIeopdSs IL tuc oWHST OF lebbeo Oh the
land gives notice Of such ownership and
gives the general location of the land.
Although the decision does not pass upon
the question Of right of-way over leased
railroad lands, it will have the effect Of ex-
cluding stockmen who have been in the
habit OF using the alternate sections OF
Uncle Sans domain. from going on or
passing over leased railroad lands. whether
fenced or not II also gives the lessee OF
purchaser Of railroad tracts absolute con-
troll of every alternate section OF public
domain, or just double the amount OF land
obtained from the railroad.
AS Wyoming sheepmen have leased OF
purchased almost all of the best railroad
lands through southern Wyoming, they
have now absolute control of the vast win
ter range that has been used for years by
Utah flockmasters.
The case will be taken to the United
States supreme court for final decision.

1T seems to me that Ii would be a good
plan IL your street car lines would adopt the
system of charges that we have in Gias-
gow,' said Mr.. Robert McRitchie, of that
Scotch city.
"A great many of our population want
TO use the tram for only short way, and
by our system the passenger pays in pro-
portion TO the distance he rides. For go
ing but half a mile he Is charged half
penny, but he may ride two miles for one
penny. II occurs to me that this plan is
more equitable than to make all pay alike,
regardless of the distance travelled.
THE corporation of Glasgow owns it's
own street cars ard operates them for the
benefit of the people. There is large sur
plus of profit each year. despite the very
low charges, which go TO the sinking fund
created at the time the trans were taken
over by the city.
1--WE have come TO the conclusion that all
sorts Of services which are in the nature of
a monopoly. like street cars, gas and water
works. can be better administered pro bono
publico by the city than by private parties
Our experience in this line. as the world
knows. has been eminently successful"
