WAR BEGINS ON THE RANGE.
Veteran Stockman Says Responsible
Organization of Each Interest
Can Prevent Further Trouble.

JOHN DAY, Or, April ~. Two
bands of sheep that were being herded
on the range a few miles from this
place were shot into a few days since.
Word was brought into town by stock
men and ranchers living in the imme-
date vicinity. One band belong to
McKern, of Mount Vernon, and not
above 30 animals were killed, and a
less number wounded. The other band
belongs to George Clark, a Mt. Yer
non stockman, who was a delegate
to the republican convention recently
held in Portland, and did not escape
so lightly. About 80 were reported as
killed outright and as many more
so badly crippled that they had better
been killed. The more or less badly
wounded retard the movements Of the
herd, and make the task Of caring for
the bunch among which they are
herded a most difficult one.
The first flock attacked was the one
belonging to McKern, and was rang
ing on Beech creek, near the Gorton
