TWO MORE SUITS
EOR ILLEGAL FENCING.


Two more civil suits have been in
stituted in the United States district
court here by the federal authorities
against Laramie county stockmen for
the illegal fencing of public land, says
the Cheyenne Tribune. This makes a
total of ABOUT a dozen cases of this
kind which have been filed and In
many instances the defendants in the
civil suits may be made defendants in
criminal prosecution to be brought be-
fore the next federal grand jury. In
the suits brought today the defendants
are James Dolan. the Pine Bluffs
ranchman, and Charles Hirsig, living
six miles northwest of Cheyenne on
Crow creek. Dolan is alleged to have
$50 acres of public and enclosed and
Hirsig is charged with illegally fenc-
ing 6,S40 acres adjacent to Cheyenne
on the northwest. In both cases the
petition demands the demolition Of the
Illegal fences and asks for an injunc-
tion to p%erpetually restrain the defend
ants from rebuilding.

INVESTIGATE CHARGES OF

GROSS CRUELTY.
Captain H. D. Cough, state agent of
the Wyoming Humane society, left to-
day for Manville to investigate charges
made against D. NJ. Roush, a ranchman
of that vicinity, who is accused of I'M
usual brutality to horses, says the
Cheyenne Tribune. According to
sworn statements received by Captain
Cow, Roush brought an animal into
town, rode it up and down the streets
at terrific speed, all the time beating
the animals in an unmerciful manner
until it was covered with welts, was
bleeding at the nose and mouth and
was SO blinded with pain it ran into q
post, badly injuring the horse. On an
other occasion Roush is alleged tc
have tied a colt to a fence and then in
ficted a frightful beating on the pool
brute until it was bleeding freely. Yes

ATTEND THE

While the Leader has been free in
criticising the management of the state
university, 1t has been lone in a spirit
of friendliness, and with the hope or
improving conditions there and placing
the institution on such a firm basis that
criticism would be impossible. In fact,
Wyoming father, no matter whether he
is a stockman. %rancher, miner, or state
official, regardless Of his political afhl'
iations, would be proud to send his
child to the state university.
We have received reports that sew,
eral members of the present board of
the university regents are about to
resign In order to make way for 'Rew
blood" in the institutions management,
and we have faith in Governor Brooks
carrying out the recommendations
made by the non-partisan board he ap'
pointed. He cannot consistently do
otherwise.
There is m recommendation made
by the board hat the governor in his
official capacity cannot execute. Now
when the young people of Wyoming
are beginning to look around for a
college home, we wish to call atten'
ton to the following recommendation
made by the board Of investigation:
I'VE recommend that the citizens OF
Wyoming acQuaint themselves with the
fact hat there is a splendid and ade'
Quate equipment and an excellent and
capable corps of professors and in
Istructors at our state university, and
that those parents Or guardians who
do lot avail themselves of these OPP
lportunities held open to their sons
and daughters are neglecting a duty
toward the men and women of the
future. And in this same connection
we recommend that the citizens OF
Laramie be more cautious in their crit
Iicism Of the university located in their
midst and reflect a greater loyalty to
the only institution for higher educa'
ton within our borders.

acre, whereas some lands In the vi
entity OF Wheatland and along the
North Platte valley are selling as high
as $40 per acre. The average value
of the agricultural lands in the local.
ties mentioned is not far from $40 Per
acre. The valuation of IS per acre
is therefore altogether too low and
should be raised.
1t is just that the railroads should
be raised. There Is no question about
that. 1t is also just that the people OF
Wyoming should speedily devise ways
and means for the equal assessment
OF all the property Of the state. The
man with money justifies the evasion
OF taxes thereon by saying that it is
represented In some property upon
would be double taxation to return it,
The man with cattle notices that the
man with money is not taxed and he
does the best he can in the matter OF
reducing the number Of head of stock
returned. The sheep mar finds that
his neighboring cattleman and the man
who has perhaps loaned his so per
cent on his ilocks are not doing the
right thing and he also makes a false
return. The merchant does not care
to bear any greater burden than the
other fellows, and he puts in his stock
Of merchandise at perhaps twenty
cents on the, dollar. And so it goes
down through the MIST. The fault is
very largely in our assessment laws
Our assessors should be on duty all
the year around. They should have q
salary sufficient to warrant giving al
their time to the business. Theil
schedules ought to enumerate all kinds
of property and each citizen should be
put under oath and questioned as tc
every class. Any violation Of the eatt
and questioned as to every class. Any
violation of the oath should subject
the taxpayer to air the pains and pen
alties of perjury.
One thing is certain, our present
system is about as rotten as it coulC
possibly be.
