s.a-e Of the trouble About a month
ago the Canaan Livestock company,
In which the Benni1n brothers of Tay-
mVIs and John VI. Cannon of this
city are directors, purchased a flock of
400 head OF sheep from Abe Hill. The
stock was transferred on March II aud
ua1 IN charge 70. the company by
John Dick. a resident of TaylOrsVIlle.
-h0 had his herd when last heard
from. some distance east Of Big Finey.
So far as can be learned Dick has not
been moIested.
Letter From Big Piney.
The first report Of trouble at Big
Pney came in a letter from Abe Hill
20 bis father. He wrote under date Of
March q that their camp had been
attacked by a crowd of Cattlemen and
s. head Of sheep were slaughtered, q
large number driven of and two wag-
us burned. Nothing was said of any
sa0ojng however. The trouble re-
ported in Sundays Herald may have
occurred since them, or the dispatch,
which 0ecasi0ned the greatest alarm,
may have had reference TO the same
occurred since then. or the dispatch,
The whole question o. the safety of the
hsIdsrs depends.
John Vi. Cannon. as attorney for the
Canaan company. although this com
IlUy is not financially concerned in the
loss is putting forth every effort to as
certain the facts in The case. The wires
10 Sig Piney are down. a fact that
naturally causes great apprehension,
tle lelief being that they were cut
PRIOR to or shortly after the attack on
dl.Is camp.

o.ueman named Budd brought the
report 20 that town. having come direct

10 IS supposed that these messengers
were in Big Piney as recently as Fri

all The Hill boys are safe. The re-
lI's differ widely. however, as to the
