CHEYENNE, Oct. 19.-Word from
Big Piney, in the Wind River forest
reserve, gives the details of clash
between the sheep and cattlemen on
Grey's river near there recently, when
several hundred sheep, the property of
Butterfield Bros, of Montpelier, Ida,
were driven over a high cliff and
killed. The camps of sheepmen were
burned and their sheep driven off
the country. The hocktenders offered
no resistance and they were not in.
jured by the invaders. The sheep had
trespassed upon the reserve and had
been driven off by forest rangers and
on to range that the cattlemen have
for their herds. The sheep owners
had been warned repeatedly by the
cattlemen, but we're seldom needed.
The sheepmen will not resort to arms
but will fight the raiders in the courts.

Roosevelt. What his administr alton
is we know. We witness its fruits
about US every day.
"The republican party is essentially

which promote the industrial and com.
mercial development OF the country
We have secured the necessary right

Panama which will enable US to COM
plete and maintain canal under the

much credit be due for the achievement
as to President Roosevelt who, in a
critical hour, foresaw the nation s
duty and opportunity.
