QUARREL WITH HOMEsTEADERs

Complaint of the shooting and kill
ing of live stock comes from the vi.
cinity of Wasta, on Cheyenne river.
1t is the old trouble between the
homesteader and the stock man in
the free range counties. The home
steader claims the right to protect his
crop by any means at his command
and the stockman claims the right to
allow his stock to feed where they
will. The question of continuing
free range conditions in that county
will be before the people at the cleo
tion in November, and if the home
steaders have their way in the matter
it will be another case Of "get off the
earth Oh the part of the cattlem en- !.
1t is an unfortunate situation that
these conflicting conditions exist,
but they always have when the bor-
der between farming and stock rails
ing is reached, and probably always
will so long as any 'free range"
country is to be found.

Black Hills was created. This Great
eda controversy between the forestry
department and the state. The latter
contended that it was entitled to sec
tions sixteen and thirty-six in the

Finally an agreement was made

the state should receive land at some
point on the outer edge of the forest

that in the disputed sections. This
was ratified to Secretary Ballinger

man from this state.
The fetal amount involved is about
100 sections-16O, 900 acres. The
agreement covered about 80 sections
There are yet ten sections unsettled

This will have to be adjusted later.
