Denver April 20.-A Republican spe-
cial from Cheyenne, Wyo.. last night
says: The sheepmen of the Sweetwater
country have declared open war upon the
cattlemen, and a clash is imminent
unless steps are at once taken to get
the warning factions together on the
proposition of satisfactory division OF
the ranges of that section.
A private letter from Lander states
that the militia there may be called
out to prevent general fight and much
bloodshed.
Sheriff Charles Slough of Lander has
gone to the range country to irvesti-
gate the situation and if he finds the
condition of affairs as alarming as has
been reported. he will Immediately
make formal request of Governor
Richards for at least one company OF
the state militia to patrol the ranges.
For several years the cattlemen have
been making war upon the encroach-
ments of sheep in the Sweetwater coun-
try. They claim they settled there
first and are entitled to the range for
their small herds; that the sheep are
rapidly destroying the feeding grounds
and that agreements have been made
with flockmasters, for certain

ranges. but that the latter have re-
peatedly violated the agreements and
have permitted their sheep to cross the
boundary lines aIDl in many instances
eat off the grass in sight of the ranches
of the cattlemen. The latter have re-
sorted to force frequently. and the
murder of several herders and the
slaughter of thousands of sheep has
resulted -rh
Last fall the flocks of Leonard Sedg-
wick. the Cheyenne boy who made a
fortune in the Klondike, were at
tackled near New Fork and over 1000
were slaughtered, the camp wagon and
supplies were burned and the Mexican
herder murdered. Mounted men wear
ing masks over their faces did the
work. and although weak effort was
made by the authorities to learn the
names of the raiders. nothing ever
came of the matter. The raid had the
desired result, so far as the cattlemen
were concerned. however, for reports
from the New Fork country say that no
sheep have crossed the dead line since
then.
The scene of the impending trouble
is south and east of the New Fork
country, which is due west of Lander.

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Lawyers Bill Vetoed.

One of the bills of Senator Rush and
a measure that received the support
of many lawyers, II. b. 325, was We
toed by the governor on the 18th inst,
This measure provided that Mills An
notated Statutes should be the law
and that future editions of the book
should have equal force. The princi-
pal reason for the veto was that the
law would have meant a conflict in
the statutes. The governors reasons
for the veto arc:
"First-The bill provides, among
other things. that each and every edi-
tion and revision thereof (Mills An
notated Statutes and Mills Annotated
Code) and supplement thereof is here
by recognized and declared to be legal
and official | believe it would be un-
wise to attempt to legalize and make
official the editions, revisions and sllp-
plements of this very meritorious
work, not yet in existence. for who
can say what may be included or con-
tanned in future editions. revisions and
supplements thereof.
"Second-The annotations and cita-
tions contained in Mills Annotated
Statutes form a very large portion of
the work, which, under the provisions
of this bill, shall be deemed to be the
law, unless the contrary is made to
appear This provision, If enacted
into law, would doubtless lead to con-
fusion. The bill should have been
drawn so as to contine its scope to
the text of the statutes, omitting the
annotations and citations

ADJT. GENERAL AND
COLONEL RESIGN

Denver. April l9-Adjutant General
Sherman Bell and Col. James Brown of
the National Guard have given to the
governor their conditional resigna-
tions. Both officers took this action
Thursday, the day the executive LETT
for the East. Neither of the officers
will discuss the affair. Other officers of
the guard deny that they contemplate
a similar course.
Dissatisfaction with many acts OF the
governor is said to be the direct cause
of the action Criticisms to which
both officers have been subjected as
the result of the calling out of troops
for the strike at Colorado CITY ana 1or
other official acts is said to have had an
influence in causing them to act.
The designations as they went to the
governor were to become effective
MAY /. What the letter to the execu-
tive contained those who directed it
to him will not say. They state 1t is
better that he should first make an an
nouncement. Col. Brown has also re-
signed from the honorary staff OF the
governor.
Both Gen. Bell and Col Brown spent
Yesterday at Colorado Springs. They
returned last night to find that their
designations had been publicly an
nounced. After dinner at the Brown
Palace they made formal statement
that fails to make clear the situation.
Each said he would say nothing more
than is contained in this statement,
Regarding the designations they say:
1--WE are at a considerable loss to un-
derstand upon what authority the
statement is based 1t is not said that
it is made upon any authority ema-
mating from the governor or his office.
Courtesy to the governor, who is at
present absent-from the state, requires
that we remain silent until his return.

The State Bureau of Animal Protec-
ton. known familiarly as the Humane

are being made by Secretary White

complete staff of efficient men in all
sections, men satisfactory to the bu-
reau as well as to the people of the
section in which they serve. The fol-
lowing are recent appointments: Will

Soloman of Denver.
Senate bill 27S, appropriating 500
600 towards the construction of the
West Fourteenth or West ColfaX ave
nue. viaduct, was vetoed because the
entire expense of examination and
surveying might fall upon the state,
and because the provisions of the bill
would take the handling of the money
out of the hands of the state.

Governor Peabody on the 18th inst.
appointed the following water commits
sioners District No. 81, George S.
Lovett, La lara; district No. %, John
C. Dalton, Manassa.
The governor has signed the bill
providing for the cutting off of the
eastern end of Adams county and add
ing this territory to Yuma and Wash
ington counties. By the results thus
obtained the people of a large section
will escape a journey OF nearly 200
miles in going to their county seats.
The governor signed the measure
providing for the coditication of the
probate laws. These have been badly
mixed ever since the organization of
the state. Lawyers say that the laws
were so confusing that even they were
sometimes at loss to determine the
proper method of proceeding. This
will now be remedied.
Governor Peabody on the 14th inst.
granted an unconditional pardon to
William Beeson, young man SEN
fenced by Judge Seeds in Teller coun-
ty to thirty days in the county Jail
and a fine of 500. The pardon was
granted on testimony showing that
Beeson's mother and brother are dan
gerously ill., Besides this Beeson paid
his fine, and he had but few more
days to finish his sentence.

NEW YORK FASHIONS.

The picture que prevails in MILL
merry.
Costumes of cloth and hopsacking
show stitched lines and broad strap
pings.
Crep de Chine and other thin tex
tured costumed are adorned with mot
ifs of lace.
Some embroidery trimmings shown
at Lord & Taylor's are works of the
highest art in need 'ework. Some
combine several shades Of one color,
for instance, blue shading from sky or
forget-me-not to royal.
While sleeves tend to fullness, this
amplitude is restricted wholly to the
lower part.
Ribbons have representative place
in millinery. They are sometimes ar
ranged in a garland of stiff, set loops
around the crown.
Smart black coats, to be worn over
black or white skirts, show lace inlets
in medallion form.
Toques are small and narrow.
China silk waists are deliciously
coo,-cooler than even the sheerest
wash materials. They are made up
without Innings and the yoAes are
Toned Of dainty Valencines lace.
Hair ornaments are much in evil
dence for evening wear. A pretty
fancy is chaplet Of wee pink roses
with listers Of dropping bud.
Ornamental Combs for tue hair are
highly ornate. Those for back and
sides are shaped to the head, and in
some instances are thickly studded
with jewels.
Three styles of hair dressing are il
fashion-the Ligh couture, the semi
high and low. This last-named is
adapted only to debutantes and very
young married ladies.
The tendency of continental coun-
tries to favor industries and articles
American finds it's principal outlet in
the foreign fondness for American
corsets. The U. S. Consul from
England, states that even French
makers have now to get their patterns
from America. The r. & G.. corset
proudly leads the lines of expectation;
no woman, whatever her nationality,
who has once worn an R. & G. corset
will not be satisfied with any other
make. 1t has too many virtues to be
forgotten
