Reports come out fr0m the Salmon
river that about sixty head Of horses
had been shot on Kelly mountain,
about 45 or so miles from Whitebird.
The animals were the property OF Ed
ward Robie w. A. Scott. Kelley
mountain affords some OF the best
range 10 the Salmon river country
and the horses had been taken there
on account OF the short range 10 the
vicinity Of Whitebird. From appeaf;
ance there is some settler in the re
gion Of Kelley mountain who Is ex-
trcmelv jealous OF the good range and
relies Oh the practice Of shooting the
animals to get rid oi them. 1t is al
so said that a year ago man took
bunch Of sheep there and had several
hundred OF them shot In the same
way. At present there seems to be
but small chance Uf identifying the
culprit.
