crops. and that the profits were the
largest when the products OF the land
were turned directly into the livestock.
and that the sheep were the most
profitable OF all.
The farmers wanted the young sheep,
and the lambs as soon as weaned to
feed and prepare for market In the
most scientific mannsr. They took all
they could get. and the sheepmen got
rid OF their surplus at a good price
when the range grew bare. Last year
the Government had million acres OF
this sage land surveyed Since then more
entries have been made on 1t for actual
homesteads than in all the previous
fifteen years together. This fall they
have their first crop. which. being
scientific farmers, they are feeding.
The farmers have cattle. but they will
not take the range cattle. such as the
cattlemen have. for they use the high
bred stock found in the East or on old
stock farms. The price OF sheen has
gone steadily UP. Wool has risen 1

1t took the raiders for the different
camps twenty-four hours of hard work
to kill the sheep. The place is far
from any town or railroad that the
sheepmen could not get together Their
herders were bound and carried to
Lamereau Meadows, nearly a hundred
miles distant
Some of the owners went to the Jus
tice of the Peace at Fremont, asking
him to give them q warrant for the
arrest of the man whom they know to
have led the csttlerlen. His wife said
he was away from home. so the men
waited. Something lea them TO believe
that he was not away. and they went

Now. boys" he pleaded. "you won't
be mean enough TO drag me into this
trouble. and me with a family to sup
port will you?" He wept when they
tried to coerce him, and finally they
let him off, knowing that If he did issue
the warrants they wanted he Would be
asked to leave the country, which is
not pleasant way of leaving home.
The sheepmen assembled at Rock
Springs and talked over their trou-
bles, but nothing ever came OF il but
such bitterness as made the cattlemen
pass the sheepmen with frowns and
muttered oaths when they chanced to
pass
The following July sixteen Federal
detectives journeyed as far west as
Denver. waiting IN secret. to take Il
hand in the first raid. The cattlemen
armed and organized, expecting to go
out to protect their headlines as usual
at a concerted signal.
The signal was not given. The cat
tlemen and detectives waited.
In the meantime an army of men had
invaded the sheep land. They were
men come to buy sheep, to carry them
to Nebraska to feed them there. Al
falfa and sugar beets had proven such
profitable crops when fed to the sheep
that the Nebraska farmers could not
get sheep enough.
Feeding stations grew up at all the
principal points along the Union Pa
cific. Old established feeders like e.
c. Hord of Central City found their
business growing beyond their great
