LIVESTOCK OWNERS RESPONSIBLE.

In case just decided by Judge
Hunt OF the United States dis
,rict court of Montana, owners Of
livestock are held responsible il
they suffer their stock to drift
upon the national forest It was
declared that the national forests
need not be fenced to exclude
stock, no matter what the state
law is, and that therefore it is
illegal not only to drive stock
upon the forests, but even to per-
NIT them to drift there, unless the
owner possesses a permit
The result of this case will
cause much comment in all the
cattle states which have fence
laws, like Montana, where the
law provides that owners OF stock
may allow their cattle to feed up
on the public domain, and that an
owner of lands not fenced is with.
out remedy for damage done by
animals so ranging. For 1t means
that grazers near the rational for
rsls will be obliged either to take
out permits or themselves keep
their cattle off the forests. fIith-

where cattle driited upon the
national forest was To cause them
