War Over Western Ranges.

Denver. Col.-(Special.)-Colo John
s. Mosby. the famous Confederate cav
airy leader. who In now special agent
of the government In charge Of United
States lands. has become a prominent
and spectacular figure In the bitter
fight for the ransethat Is being waged
by conflicting interests in the sheep
and cattle country OF the west.

clear the government land OF private
fences-work that requires courage Of

those who dare oppose one faction or

Colonel Mosby. whose headquarters
are at Sterling. Colorado. the center Of

some OF the cattle kings have fenced In

tracts OF land larger than many Ger

law. they have seized upon government
land. fenced IL In. forbidden settlers TO

wealthy from this illegal use Of Uncle
Sans property.
Near Sterling one big cattle company
built fence which enclosed nearly
$4,000 acres. II did not completely en-
close the land, but extended from the
Union Pacific railroad fences. thus
forming vast triangle. In this space
thousands of head OF cattle were kept.
only a few cowboys being required to
look after the immense herd.
When Colonel Mosby ordered the
company to take down the fence the
objection was raised that there had
been no violation Of the 1ow because
only one side of triangle had been
inclosed.
Despite the fact that The illegal
fencing law has been practicaily n
dead letter for twenty years. Colonel
Mosby Is insistent IN enforcing II. and
he has stirred up the cattle owners

line. The aathoritiss. At Washington

Where Hunt was On the day Of the
robbery Is as much OF a mystery today
as 1t was on the day Of his cUnvfokion.
Since he has steadfastly refused to
particularize his whereabouts. but the
supposition obtains that he had his
own reasons for not wanting his
whereabouts or his acts on the day In
question known. aud knowing his In
nocence OF the crime with which he
was charged, preferred to remain 81
lent and be convicted. trusting that
some future act Of those who commit
ted the stage robbery would serve to
liberate him.
The picture OF the dead bandit 20
closely resembles that OF Hunt that no
visible difference can be detected. and
on two occasions Hunt has been forced
to submit to arrest by Missouri en-
GERS who mistook him for Jesse James.

END OF ROMANCE.

Ward County Reporter: The cul-
mination of pretty and very interest
ing romance occurred Saturday night
at @11:45 o'clock when Mrs. Minnie
BraatZ, wife of Fred Braatz, the man
who was killed by Clarence Coats near
Kenmare became the wife of William
A. Wolsey, one of the principal wit
nesses for the defense, in the trial.
The knot was securely tied by Judge
Murray at his home and the couple left
soon afterwards for their home near
Donnybrook. The groom, it is said,
learned to love Mrs. Braatz when he
worked for her husband in Minnesota.
The old motto that pity is akin to
love- held true in this case for on the
witness stand Wolsey stated how he
had seen the inhuman husband beat
the poor woman. He himself once
took a beating from the husband who
came TO his untimely end Wolsey
eyinced great deal of interest in the
trial which was held in Minot in May
and proved to be the star witness for
the defense. Mrs. Braatz wished to
see Clarence Goats cleared.
