THE SLAUGHTER FENCE.

TOMBSTONE, Ark, Dec. 8.-(Spl)
 William Neal, the we'll known Sul- phur Spring valley cattle man. was a Tombstone visitor yesterday on legal business, and to nay the taxes assessed against him and his co-partner Hysum on their cattle Interests in Cochise county. MT. Neal has become very much interested in the question of the removing the so called Slaughter drift fence and has taken
 the matter up with the = Territorial Cattiemen's association as well as with
 the sTerritoriai Live Stock Sanitary Boafd. He is of the opinion that when the proper representations have been made to the aut..os.s.es al Washing ton. they will not enforce the order of the removal Of the fence. There is no doubt but what the removal of the fence would endanger SDne cattle Of Southern Arizona' rom the fever tie.s which is known tc exist in the cattle Of Northern SoR "a and the present fence is the onIy means of keeping the Sonora cattle out at the present time.
