BIG SHEEP OWNER IS SHOT
Dynamite is Used to Destroy His Camp and
Kill Off His Plooks
RAID is CHARGED UP TO THE CATTLEMEN
Herder who Escapes Brings the News
TO ThermOpoIis and Oficers with
n Doctor start for the
Scene.

CHEYENNE. wyo., Feb. S.-(special Tel
gram.)-Masked raiders used dynamite
with telling effect among the flocks of
William Minach. a wealthy sheepman, who
ranged his focks on the western slope Of
Big Pine mountains, about forty miles
from Thermopolis. A band OF twenty-five
mounted and heavily armed men appeared
at Minachs camp, shot Minach through the
lungs, dynamited his camp wagons and
outht, stalked his horses and dynamited
500 sheep In the corrals. The raiders, who
are supposed to be small cattlemen Of that
section, then scattered among the hills.
Minach's herder who fled at the ap-
proach OF the masked party, returned and
carried the dying man to a neighboring
camp, and then came to Thermopolis for
assistance. Sheriff Slough, accompanied by
DR.. Schuelke, left at once for the scene,
but 1t is doubtful IL any of the raiders are
apprehended. There has been more or less
strife over a division of the range in the
northern country for some time. The cat
tlemen were determined TO find pastures
for their cattle, and fockmasters we're
equally determined to secure the ground
The clash Of yesterday was not unexpected
AS both factions are determined, further
bloodshed is feared.

easy matter for the posse 10 trace the rob-
bers to barn two miles east OF the city.
The four men were found buried beneath
the straw and were taken to the Jail.
The robbers stole a handcar at GaIva

this car, on which they hoped to escape,
but they were unable to do this on account
OF the snowstorm prevailing at the time
they should have made their escape.
The identity of the robbers has not yet
been established.

After a consultation with u q on

Tower adopted for himself and for the
secretaries Of the United States embassy
uniforms which satisfied the court require
ments. These uniforms are Of black cloth

the humiliation often experienced by their
predecessors when their servants were
summoned to Identify them at the winter
palace.
Ambassador Mccormick accepted the
matter as settled and ordered a duplicate
OF Mr.. Towers uniform.
