STOCK IS PERISHINC
DRIVEN TO THE FOOTHILLS IN
WEAKENED CONDITION.
Snow Covers Up Short Grass and
Cattle Are Reported Dying
In Large Numbers.

Reports come to Athena that cattle are
dying in large numbers on the foothill
ranges southeast of town. Stockmen
have fed up every vestige of feed, even
the strawstacks have disappeared, and
the spring like weather a couple Of
weeks ago enticed them to drive their
weakened stock to the range;
Scant forage was to be had at best,
and the climax was dealt the famished
cattle Tuesday night when the snow fell
in this vicinity to the depth of six
inches, and in the foothills even deeper.
Stock was dying before the snow came,
one stockman counting eleven dead ami
mails in couple of hours riding, Since
the snow it is expected that the LOSE will
be heavy.
John Thompson, who has his stock
near the Ryan grade, left yesterday to
investigate conditions. There is some
little feed where his stock ranges, and
until this week no snow, but where
other stock was driven, farther up in the
hills, snow had only partially disap-
peared, and but precious little browsing
was to be found for stock.

Veterans Of Oregon, is not IN harmony
with the feelings OF the rank and file Of
that organization and that his claim to
the honor Of being an Indian war veter-

nett Camp, No. 8, of that organization,
which was held in Salem, at which time
resolutions were adopted disclaiming all
relationship with him as to ocomradesbip,
and signify that steps are being taken to
effect his removal from the high Office of
grand commander.
The business Of the meeting, as stated
by the chairman at its opening, was "to
take steps toward securing grand com
missioner from the rank and file of the
Indian War Veterans, a standing as
such," and the resolution drawn up and
adopted expressing that sentiment reads
as follows:
Resolved. That T. A. Wood, now
posing as grand commissioner, is not an
Indian War Veteran, and is not entitled
to recognition, and we respectfully re-
quest that all other camps act with us in
the matter"

cattle, 1000 hogs, and as many sheep

capacity is great enough to answer the

pushing the project to successful end.
The option carries with it lease for ten

q see that Dr. Samuel Uullman in a card sent to the Age-Herald refers to an interview printed in the Atlanta constitu- ton as coming from Henery B. Gray and gives some additional information" said a citizen who was living in Birmingham at the time of that famous riot.
 ''I think Dr. Ullman should give all the facts since he has corrected MT. Gray. In his card he says that 1t was not the sol diers who fired on the mob but the deputy sheriffs.
 He says further that the Jefferson Volunteers came to the aid of the sheriff's posse but came too late to do any shooting He is right in both these statements but in giving the detailed facts he should have said that the Birmingham Rifles, the other military organization of the city, also marched to the jail to as- slst in protecting the prisoner. It Is true that the Volunteers got there first but the Rifles followed In a very short time and both companies served to keep back the crowd which had then become angry at Sheriff Smith. l merely mention this as a little additional information which might be included In Dr. Ullman's card"
