"Fhe boem, 'Sheridan's Ride, >
gives false impression concerning
the details Of the historic feat ac-
compiished by tho great civil war
leader" said Father Sherman in an
address in Chicago last night. "l he
facts are that General Sheridan had
returned from Washington Just prior
to the battle, and found his men
two or three miles away. He reach
cd the town at 10 O'Clock at night
and slept late the next morning. He
awoke at the sound of artillery fire,
and, after starting toward the front,
rode his horse at snall's pace. From
the sounds that reached him as he
proceeded, he concluded that his
army was in retreat. He found that
his Judgment was correct when he
mounted knoll and saw his men In
rout. For a time he walked his horse
in order to get time to think, and in
that period decided to move to the
front and either die or lead his
troops to victory. As be rode for
ward past his men they became in
spired by his presence aud followed
their leader back to battle. lie
forged ahead until he reached the
utmost point of danger, and then, as
if by magic, the battlefags began to
spring from the soil. in two hours
he had reformed his line of battle,
and so great was the enthusiasm
among his followers that Custer en-
hraced him before the whole army.
The enemy was again attacked and
the victory followed. This Is the
true story Of Sheridan's ride. "

fences for the purpose Of capturing
the horses.
"Forest officers may drive upper
mitted horses from the national forests
at any time, but If the owners Of the
horses are known aud ownership
acknowledged the owner should DO
allowed to adjust the matter by pay
ing the grazing fec. If he refuses to
apply for a permit, then tiepass
charge should be brought against him
and the case conducted according to
instructions.
Unbranded horses may be handled
according to the state cstray laws,
but forest officers can not be allowed
tn gather such horses for tho purpose
Of using or selling them, nor can they
be allowed to collect any remunera-
ton from any person for corrallinG
unclaimed horses. Tho policy Of the
forest service will be, therefore, TO
cooperate with the stockmeu Of the
state or territorial authorities when
they take the initiative in disposiug
of wild horses in the national forests,
but the present laws and regulations
do not admit of Independent action
by tho forest service.
The wild horse problem is only one
Of the many which etockmen have to
contend with which the government is
trying in one way or another to solve
on the ranges of the national forests.
Predatory animals, such as wolves
coyotes, mountain lions aud Wild
cats, do thousands Of dollars worth
Of damage to stock each year in all
parts Of the country. On some ranges
forest officers have to contend with
rustlers, who sometimes succeed IN
stealing the great part Of the stock
which the predatory animals do not
kill. Poisonous plants are another
nuisance which give the stockn en-
considerable trouble III many parts OF
the country.
Uncle Sam has always shown n dis
position to cooperate with the stock
men in combating these nuisances; in
fact, he is doing better than merely
meeting the stockmen half way in the
work. On many of the national forest
ranges for the last year rangers and
guards have been assigned TO the
work Of hunting and trapping, with
the sole aim of killing off the animals
that prey upon stock. The work has
met with marked success, and hun
dreds of wolves and coyotes have sue
cumbed to the bullets and the poison
Of the hunters. Zach animal killed
means decided saving to the sheep
industry, for it is estimated that
one wolf averages about 81 900 dam
age each year.
Forest officers are cooperating
with the stock associations to stop
tho stealing of livestock and ruu the
rustlers out of the country. The war
on poisonous plants has been carried
on for more than year by forest ser
vice, in cooperation with the bureau
of plant industry, and, while the iu-
vestgations have just been begun, it
is already seen that their growth can
be checked in many states.
If it is possible to check the wild
horse nuisance as easily as the other
troubles which have bothered the
stock interests both the stockmen
and forest officers will nnd the
Western ranges rid OF another serious
drawback which helps to rctard pro-
gress III the business.
