The r. p. Bartlett cattle which were
fed in Ashley valley, Utah, were
taxed for this year before leaving
there. Like other White river cattle.
they were driven down there to eat
hay purchased from Utah people and
were there less than three months.

cattle will feed I'm Rio Blanco where
they belong and will either have to
be assessed again in this county or
else the county will be deprived of
taxes that justly belong to it. This
