FENCE CUTTING CAUSES
TROUBLE OUT IN KIMBALL
some Feeling EnGendered as Result
of Disputes COncerning Highways
and Private Rights.

Much trouble is being had in Kimball
county over the cutting OF line fences. This
grows out Of the fencing across section
lines which are especially set apart as high
ways and is a part OF the friction that
usually develops in connection with the
establishment Of roads In settling up new
country. The Bee recently had some refer
ence to one case and now correspondent
writes some details of others.
The case referred to was that Of J. A.
slmones whose fence was removed on ac-
count OF north and south road having
been established. q. ]. Poster is road super
visor and complaint was made to him OF
the Slmones fence. One other party was
involved and the fences OF both were
moved.
1t now transpires that about three weeks
before the Simones fence was removed,
Pester's fence had been cut, ten posts pulled
I'D and a gate carried away into the hills.
The check fence of Poster q Co., on the
line between Nebraska and Colorado. was
also cut in two or three places.
Considerable feeling is being engendered
over the matter. Poster has lived In Kim
ball county for twenty-four years and has
| always stood well there.

NEW YORK, Aug. s.-R. G. Dun q Co.'S
weekly review OF trade today says:
Business conditions are irregular and at
some points unsatisfactory, and while fall
ing short In volume and profits OF that
state OF buoyancy that existed at the be-
ginning Of the year, It is better than the
superficial aspect OF the leading markets

because in the main they are optimistic.
Pig Iron production continues to diminish,
but the demand for steel products and
particularly for wire pipe and structural
materials, Ia large. Prices, as a rule. show
little change, but the tendency II still
downward and concessions to induce bust
ness are said to have been offered In cef-
tain quarters. Pittsburg reports that no
Increase appears in new business, although
there was a good total in steel bars, but
prices are not firm, $40 being quoted for
contracts, reduction OF 81 per ton.
Spring openings on woolens and worHteds
have not been attended with any keen buy
ing yet. Buyers are numerous in the CEN
trial markets and operations are still very
conservative.
New orders for footwear come In slowly.
Little New England plants are fairly we'll
engaged, and manufacturers have a con-
siderable volume Of reserve contracts
on hand. The price question retards new
business somewhat Trade In domestic
packer hides Is less active, but sufficient
