AGAINST FREE RANGE
Efforts Being Made to Have Legisla
ture Pass Law For the Reserva-
ton Counties.

There is much agitation going on
over on the reservation, particularly
in Pennington, Meade II Butte
counties, concerning the repeal of the
free range law, and efforts will be
made at the coming session of the
legislature to have that body adopt
a law restraining cattle from running
at large but shall apply with equal
force in all parts of the state. this
law applying now only to territory
east of the Missouri river. An effort
was made two years ago looking to
this end, but the old ranchmen on
the reservation who have held sway
in that county for thirty years or
more We're able to overcome the OPP
position and defeated all attempts
to pass the herd law. In the past
two years, however, hundreds OF
farmers have moved into the range
country and two great railroad sys-
TENS have built their lines to the
Black Hills country, and the people
living out there are determined to
have their farms Tree from the at
tack of rowing cattle and horses,
since they L raising crops. That
there is a strong sentiment in favor
of the repeal of the free range law
was demonstrated last spring in the
special election called in Lyman and
Stanley counties, and both counties
showed an overwhelming vote in fav-
or of the repeal of the free range.
Petitions are being circulated in Pen
nington, Meade and Butte counties
for presentation to the legislature
and the senator's and representatives
from that section of the state are be-
ing interviewed as to their position
on the law. Butte county has had sew
eral hundred new settlers move there
in the past two years, and the senti-
ment looking to the restraint being
placed on the free rowing of cattle
and horses is strong. There is much
Just complaint from the new people
that their crops were destroyed last
summer and fall by stock that were
allowed to roam at will over the
prairies, and instances are reported
where small patches of corn that the
settler hoped to have carry his few
head of stock through the winter
were destroyed by the cattle and
horses.
There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis
ease and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced 1t
%incurable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be a constitutional disease
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, man
