RURAL MAIL ROUTES REMAIN.
Policy Of the Postoffice Department IL
Announced.

Policy Of the Postoffice Department 10
Announced.
The postoff1ce department has made
public the following:
There seems to be wide misunder-
standing as to the present attitude Of
the department regarding rural free de-
livery. The statement has been pub
lished quite generally, particularly in
the west, that rural routes that do not
handle 5000 pieces Of mail per month
and supply 100 families are to be dis
continued. 1t is not the purpose Of the
department to disturb routes already
established unless they are manifestly
unnecessary. There are now on file in
the department petitions for more
routes that will supply more than 100
families than can be established with
the present appropriation. This being
the case, the department does not feel
it right, equitable or wise to establish
route supplying less than 100 fami-
lies to the exclusion of routes that will
supply more than 100 families, the
greatest good to the greatest number
being the fundamental principle on
which the service is being established.
AS long as all of the routes that are
asked for can not be established for
the lack Of money the routes that will
supply the greater number of families
should have preference.

Stock Men to War.

Meeteetse, Wyo., July 23.-War
clouds are gathering in the Big Horn
country, and it does not seem possible
that a bloody conflict can be avoided.
The creation of forest reserves has cut
down the acreage of the big pastures
until now stock owner, whether a
sheep owner or a cattle raiser, must
fight hard for sufficient range to keep
his focks and herds alive.
The cattlemen, being the first to set
tie in this section, feel that they have
more right to the public range than
the sheepmen, who are newcomers,
and preparations have been quietly 60
ing on for some time looking to the
making of determined stand against
the advance Of the sheepmen.
1t is alleged that the murder of
Sheepman Ben Minnick was the work
of hired assassins, and this has greatly
enraged Minnick's friends and sheep
men generally.

deputy marshall. This office Walters
later lost through excessive dissipa-
ton and some alleged crooked work.
Coming home in an intoxicated condi.
ton one night, Walters found another
man talking to his wife and would
have killed him but his condition rem.
dered his aim ineffective. For the at.
tempted murder Walters served a Jail

cured a divorce. Walters met Mrs

Jim McLoud in Basin Jail.
Butte, Mont, July ga special
from Cheyenne, Wyo., says bloody
battle was narrowly averted in the

mopolis, when Sheriff Fenton trans
ferred Jim McLoud, the alleged muir
derer of Ben Minnock, from the city
Jail at Thermopolis to the county Jail
at Basin City. Sheriff Fenton left
Thermopolis with his prisoner under
escort of the Basin light artillery OF
40 men and so picked deputies.
Scouts had been sent out at sun
rise, and they reported that a large
force of cattlemen and the friends OF
McLoud were camped on the trail
near Cottonwood creek, and from pre-
parations being made they intended to
hold up the sheriff and his party and
deliver the prisoner. Consequently
when Fenton left Thermopolis he went
prepared and expecting a battle.
Scouts rode on ahead and also in the
rear and on either flank, but when
the cattlemen saw that the soldiers
were alert for battle they quietly slip
ped away and by making detour en-
tered Thermopolis. With them was
Tom O'Day, the notorious character
who is alleged to have been mixed uI
in the killing of Minnick, and for whom
Sheriff Fenton has a warrant.
McLoud was at once placed in the
cell formerly occupied by Walters, the
condemned murderer, who was shot tt
death by mob Sunday, and strong
guard placed about the jail.
