KILLED 500 SHEEP IN RAID.
Terrible Slaughter by Cattlemen IN
Northern Wyoming.

Northern wyoming.
That the range troubles OF Wyom-
ing still exist is shown by the follow
ing special from Sheridan, Wyo., -
the Cheyenne Tribune:
James Waisner is here from the
Waisner sheep camp, near Arvada.
which was raided Wednesday night.
He says that 500 head were ruthlessly
slaughtered and one camp wagon and
outfit burned. The sheep were rang
ing between Wild Horse creek ana
Powder river, eight miles north of
Arvada, in charge Of single herder.
Early in the morning a band Of
eight or 10 men rode up'to the camp.
one covered the herder with a rife
and commanded him to face about
from the sheep and walk to the wag-
on. The others commenced firing iu-
to the band and only desisted when
their ammunition was exhausted.
Many sheep were also wounded,
and the band was scattered over q
wide area The herder was told ID
h't the trail when the wagon and ont
fit were burned.
Sheriff Benefited of Sheridan was
called to the scene and from tracks
in the snow endeavored to trace the
men. The trail led to a main road
and there it was lost. All information
has been suppressed until now, in
hope of being able to locate the raid
ers.
One year ago a similar outrage was
committed on another Waisner camp.

That there Is absolutely no escape
FOR stockmen from the provisions of
the federal anti-fenclng, Is shown by
the following from the Cheyenne Tri-
bune, the entire matter having been
threshed out in Wyoming this month.
The Tribune says:
one of the most impressive warn d.
ings ever given to the ranchmen OF
this state in regard to the practice Of
evading the federal laws in regard to
the fencing of the public domain, was
administered in the federal court this
week in the trial OF 10 civil cases
against some Of the most prominent
stockmen of the state.
This warning was in the DEGREES Of
Judge Riner, who, in every case
found against the defendants and or
dered the removal of the fences In
question If still standing, issuing an
injunction against the reconstruction
II down, and assessing the costs Of
the case to the defendant.
May Avoid Severer Lessons.
In Montana ald in Nebraska, the
violation of the law against Illegal
fencing has been taken up by criml-
ma proceedings and on evidence eX-
actly similar TO that present in the
Federal courts of this city, "a convlc-
tions have been secured out of q
indictments, the punishment being
fine or imprisonment or both.
The policy Of prosecuting the cases
civilly. where there had been no
fraud or violence, was not favored by
former Secretary Of the Interior
Hitchcock, and there was some fric-
tlon between his department and that
of the department of justice in regard
to these questions.
There Is strong sentiment in
Washington even at this time. how
ever favor Of making examples"
OF a few ranchers by prosecuting the
most flagrant cases criminally, on the
theory that the lesson will bring all
other Illegal fences down with a rush
Every LOopIroIe Closed.
In the 10 cases nearly every varia-
tion and loophole, by which the ranch
men hoped to be permitted to main
tain their fences, some of them very
were presented to the court
but in every case the subterfuge was
penetrated and the fence ordered
down.

that time Portland was an insignifi-

to Corvallis, there distributed and
sent back to Portland. never
thought of the latter ever attaining
the magnificent proportions it now
enjoys I was in Walla Walla when
It was only slab town. and 1t was
a very small village at that. Posts
were driven in the ground and placed
across the top, and slabs from the
sawmil nailed on. This constituted
house, and answered all purposes
both for store and dwelling. In all
my journeys to and fro, have never
met with serious accident, or been
held up but I have scraped the
danger line many times"

family at home, and located at Mud |
Flats north OF Stockton and opened |
store for the sale Of miners sup

Despite everything that sensational

These women know great deal more
about Peruna than the editors who have,

their families. They have taken it
themselves. They know it will help
them.
They have suffered from various all

cure them.
Such women cannot be convinced by
any editorial spasm that their fayorite
household remedy is humbug.
Peruna goes right on in its conquest
over disease. It's fame is spreading all
