viii Test IL.

The cattlemen OF this county or at
least majority of them. will refuse
TO pay tax on their cattle brands as
required under the new sanitary law.
An attempt to enforce this provision
of the law will bring about the hottest
legal contest in the courts that has
ever occurred in the territory. The
cattlemen do not care for the amount
OF the tax. II is the principle of being
held up, and deprived OF that much
money unjustly. The cattle men will
be sure winners In the contest.--Flag.
