A BATTLE ON THE RANGE.
Two Sheepmen Dangerously Wounded and
Eleven Hundred Sheep Killed by Cat
tlemen In Wyoming.

Salt Lake City, March s1.-A sps-
cial to the Herald from Rock Springs,
Wyo., gives some particulars Of bat
tie on the range in the Upper Green
river country between cattlemen and
sheepmen Saturday. Abe and Rowen
Hill, sheepmen, were dangerously
wounded and were in a critical con-
ditlon when the courier came out
late Saturday night Eleven hun
dred Of their sheep were dubbed and
shot to death. The Hill brothers shot
but did not kill two cattlemen, whose
names have not been learned. Sew
eral sheep herders were severely
beaten by the cattlcmen.
The cause OF the trouble is dis
pute between the cattle and sheep
men over division Of the range. The
cattlemen have been fighting for
years to keep sheep out of the New
Fork section of Uintah county. No
sooner would they get rid of one herd
of sheep than another would appear.
At last dead lines were drawn about
certain district, which they held ex-
clusively for cattle and the sheep
men were warned to keep away or
take the consequence.

THE POPE'S ENCYCLICAL
The Roman POntin Depl0res the Errors Of
Humanity and the AnarchIcal
State Of Society.

Rome, March 3l.-The pope has
published long encyclical letter, the
tone Of which suggests testamentary
recommendations. After thanking
God for prolonged life, the pope re-
iterates once more the teachings he
has already promulgated to the Cath
Ole world. He deplores the renewed
attacks on the church and the errors
Of humanity, instancing divorce, and
pictures the present condition of So
ciety as having drifted into state
Of anarchy. He entreats the people
to return to Christ and the Roman
pontitf as the only sources whence
the world can hope to obtain peace
and salvation.

ATTEMPTED TRAIN WRECK.
structions on the Rails In
Revenge.


Trenton, Mo-, March 3l.--George
Busch and George Young, Of this
city, aged 16 and 20 years respective
ly, are supposed to have made an
unsuccessful attempt to wreck the
eastbound Rock Island passenger
train, No. IL, about five miles east OF
here Saturday night. Both were ar
rested and one has confessed. 1t ap-
pears that the young men had gone
to Princeton that morning and in
tended to steal a ride home in the
evening. They boarded the west
bound local freight, No. IS, at Prince
ton, but were discovered by Con-
ductor Harrington and put off at
Willow Grove. They then walked to
within five miles Of Trenton, where
the attempt was made to wreck the
passenger. Resentment and anger
seems to be the only explanation Of
their deed, though dime novel reading
may have been partly responsible.
Several heavy ties were carried and
placed across the rails. The track
at this place lies on high embank-
ment and derailment could scarcely
have occurred without the loss Of
many lives. Unknown to the boys,
freight No. %, which was late, came
over the track few minutes be-
fore the passenger and revealed the
plot. No. 90 was headed by one Of
the monster engines Of the 1,400
class. The weight Of the engine and
tho high rate Of speed at which the
train was going when the obstacle
was encountered is, in the opinion
Of railroad men, the only circum-
stance which averted the destruction
Of the freight. Trenton officers
were at once notified and caught
the young bandit heroes near the
yard limits. One Of them immedi-
ately confessed his intended crime.
Both are the children Of respect
able parents In this city.
