SHEEP KILLING

The determination to carry the
war into the camp of the cattlemen
has been reached by the sheepmen
as result OF the killing of 100
head of sheep Saturday night at
the home Of George ID. Woolley,
three miles east of Craig.
The killing Of the Woolley sheep
is the first outbreak of the war
between sheepmen and cattlemen
in Northern Colorado since the
time, fifteen years ago, when cat
tlemen killed thousands of sheep
and murdered several men. Ever
since, the cattlemen, owning some
Of the biggest herds of Colorado
and Wyoming have decreed that
sheep should nof be run in that
section. However last summer.
the forest servcie issued permits
for the trailing Of $4,000 head of
Wyoming sheep through the ma
tiOnal forests in Routt and Moffat
counties. The cattIemen then gave
notice that they would murder men
and kill sheep.
Woolleys sheep, however, had
never been run on the national for
estS or on public land. He had al
ways kept them in his pasture.
The government will probably
protect the leases of its own lands.

FRANCIS J. HENEY

"Corruption, Its Causes and It's
Prevention" was the subject Of an
address delivered by Francis j.
Heny before the Teachers club
and several hundred other Pueblo
ans at the Centennial auditorium
Sunday night. The pitiable condi-
tions of San Francisco embracing
the graft tainted officials sinful
and satisfied, preparing to pardon
Abe Ruef and bring him back to
the city where he practiced the
most abandoned forms of corrup-
ton, and from where he and the
former mayor, Eugene Schmidt,
were sent to the penitentiary
through the work of Heney, was
painted by the famous graft pros
ecutor in scornful sentences.
Mr.. Heney laid his finger on the
seat of municipal corruption in the
big cities and gave it as his opin-
ion that the most plausible remedy
lay in municipal ownership of pub
lie corporations. He declared that
this would remove the cause of go
per cent of the graft in the cities
of this country. He told how the
prosecutions in San Francisco were
popular until he began to attack
individuals and show corrupt and
shameless some of the leading mer-
chants and capitalists of the city
were mixed up in the despicable
bribery of public officials and
graft. Then the influence these
men could bring to bear was turned
on the prosecutor and he was de-
feated for office, after an attempt
had been made to murder him, and
it was seen that he could not be
silenced.

JURORS AND JUDGES

Some fun has been made IN the
newspapers over the reluctance OF
woman jury in California to find
verdict OF mot guilty" In . crim-
inal case in which they believed the
defendant to be guilty but were
ordered by the Judge to acquit. So
far from having made themselves
fair subjects for male mirth, those
women did the sensible thing until
they yielded. Could any custom

verdicts contrary to their own
