SHEEP MEN GAIN
DECIDED VICTORY
DEFENDANTS IN WYOMING SHEEP
KILLING CASES GLAD TO
EFFECT SETTLEMENT.
RANGES OPEN TO SHEEP
COMPROMISE EXPECTED TO RE-
STORE PEACE AND PREVENT
FUTURE RAIDING.

Sundance, Wyo.-The noted crimi-
nal case which grew out of the raid
ing of sheep camps and burning of
ranches of the Rodney King Sheep
Company and the Guthrie Sheep
Company of Moorcroft and Gillette.
have been settled out of court, the
nine defendant cattlemen paying the
sheep companies all damages, attor-
neys' fees and expenses of prosecution
and agreeing to not again molest the
sheepmen. Valuable range in dispute
was also left to the sheepmen.
Last December the following we'll
known cattlemen of this county were
arrested, after two of them were re-
ported to have confessed to Joe La
Fors, the detective who trapped Tom
Horn: Orin Squires, George Martin,
Sam Mexican, Dan Mossburg, jeff
Mulholland, Stanley Baugh, Andy Nc
Kean, Isaac Mexican, Henry thinner
shield
According to the confession Of
SQuires and Martin, who afterwards
repudiated the confession. the first
raid was committed by the nine men
August 81, 1908, when the Barry
ranch of the Guthrie Company, and
the Arch Creek ranch of the King
company were destroyed, with sheep
wagons, hay, etc. From then until
their arrest the nine men are alleged
to have been implicated in four 9TH
er raids upon camps of the same COM
panies.
Before starting on the raids the
raiders, it is said, entered into death
compact whereby, If any member of
the gang divuged what happened, he
was to be killed by the others. After
confessing to La Fors, Martin and
Squires were separated and kept in
jail. Squres was offered BAIL but
preferred to remain in Jail for fear his
pals would kill him.
| Recently both men were released
and both went back on their confess
sions, but the prosecutions continued
until few days ago, when attorneys
for the defendants offered the COM
promise which has been accepted.
The outcome marks big victory for
flockmasters who have been patient
sufferers for years, but who demand
enforcement of laws, and will prose-
cute raiders, backed by the State AS
sociation of Woolgrowers.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ENERGY IN
LETTER WRITING.

To the cool, unprejudiced onlooker,
all advertising that is really good may
seem horribly exaggerated. You ask.
what is the use in getting so excited
about the matter?
There is a great deal of use. The
ordinary man is too busy, too tired.
or too Indifferent to pay much atten-
ton to what you have to offer 1t may
interest him, but he can't get up
enough interest to buy it. He doesn't
feel quite like it. The good adver-
tising writer must work up his en-
thusiasm and excitement SO that HE
WILL FEEL LIKE GIVING HIS OR
DER. The inertia must be overcome,
the natural inclination to be lazy and
let good thing slip must be counter
acted, and the reader must be excited
to the pitch where he will not only as
sent to your arguments with his rea-
son, but actually do what you want
done
The one way of making a man feel
like ordering is to throw contagious en-
ergy into your style.
For example, suppose you are trying
to sell a fire eXtinguisher for home
use-a tube of dry powder to hang on
the wall at various convenient places.
You feel the energetic movement of
words in the following:
Answer this question: In case OF
fire, would your insurance really make
good your loss?
You are always the loser by fire,
however well you are insured, for in
-,
business. nor all the discomfort and
inconvenience that go even with the
smallest fire.
And then think of the horror OF
having your wife or daughter or
child, or even your servant, burnt to
death by reason of dresses catching
fire.
You can prevent these little acci-
dents VERY EASILY. and at small
cost.
Blanks fire tube contains a perfect
ly harmless powder. 1t is just large
enough to fill the hand, and hangs on
the wall in kitchen, store, or factory.
The ring by which it hangs is at
tached to friction cap. All you have
to do is to catch hold of the fire tube
and give it a jerk from the hook.
That this device is really pract-
cal you may judge from the fact that
tubes of this kind are required in
every theater, in every factory, in
avery crowded department store.
That is the law. Read just few of
the stories of how these fire tubes
have saved thousands of dollars worth
of DrODerty and scores of lives"

Don't let the world ever find you

tidence. You will never get any SYM
pathy from the old world. You may
think that by playing the humiliation
role that you will, but you won't. Try
it and see. Just walk up the street and
let your friends know that you are

In financial circles, man is never

with that look in his eye gone, he is

Will the world say, poor felloW?" 1t

The fact is, humanity is so human
that it is never SO sure Of it's own foot
ing but that it desires to cling to the
successes. Any one can be down and
out, but there are rare occasions when
a man needs to herald the fact to the
world. If he does he is lost. Its been

Just keep this beneath your hat; as
long as you uphold your dignity as an

atty is going to count for something
and you are going to have certain

DEMOCRATIC HOUSE IN 1910.
Bryan Forecasts Victory for Ms
Party In Next House of Repre-
SentativeS.

Widespread interest among politicians
has been aroused by an article by Will
liam Jennings Bryan in the March num-

1.-The Future of the Democratic Party"
Mr.. Bryan in his paper carefully an
alyzes the political conditions of tho
present day, discussing the policies of
his party at length.
at is more than possible-it is even
probable" he declares, "that the house
of representatives to be elected in 1910
will be democratic"
Sounding word of warning to Prssi-
dent-elect Taft, he continues:
"The president-elect cannot possibly
satisfy the expectations Of both ele-
ments of the republican party. With
a republican senate and republican
house controlled by what Mr.. Roose-
Welt calls reactionaries, how can he
escape conflict either with the republi-
can leaders or with the republican
voters of the Missouri Valley"
In discussing the tendency toward
reform legislation, Mr.. Bryan says:
"The democratic party is in sympathy
legislation; it is therefore rowing with
Gratis, recognizing the responsibility of
their positions, and strong in the con-
fdence they feel in the Righteousness
Of their cause, are prepared to wage
winning fight against an opposition
already panic-stricken."
Influential democrats declare Mr.
Bryan's article to be the most import
ant political paper printed since the
election of Mr.. Taft last November

competitors in the volume of her foreign

the fourth place in the column, but was
the only port in the United States to

LawIessness Of Autom o biIists.

There were 1903 cases of violating the
automobile laws in Special Sessions Mon
day. Fifty-nine cases were disposed of
and fines aggregating S455 were collect
ed.
In the police courts of Manhattan and
Brooklyn the same day thirty-two per-
sons were charged with violating the
motor-vehicle law. In every case the
Magistrate imposed fine or held the
person arrested for trial in the Court of
Special Sessions.
Week after week the same story Is re-
peated. Scores upon scores of automo-
bilists are arrested for violating a law
with which every automobilist is famil-
lar. The significant thing about it all is
the spirit of lawlessnsss that prevails
among automobiles. The police do
their duty, but there is no noticeable
change for the better
Obviously the only remedy for this
state of things is penalties so severe
that automobiles will fear them and
respect the law. AS class they plainly
do neither at present.-New York World.
