AND GOVERNMENT; SAVES
$4,000 SHEEP FROM BATH
Attempt on Part Of State and Federal Officials TO dip Sheep
by Force Meets With Resistance From Grand Junction Man
Injunction Secured in Court Against Further Action

By outwitting the state of Utah
and Uncle Sam, until he could secure
an Injunction, w. r. Goslen, the well
known sheep man of this city, pre-
vented 1000 sheep from being given
a forcible bath at Thompsons, Utah
a few days ago.
The hearing on the injunction will
be held January Il before Judge
Christensen at Manti. Utah. In the
meantime the big Goshen sheep herds
will escape dipping. in spite of the
laws of the Utah legislature and the
regulations OF the United States gov
ernment.
The injunction followed an exciting
series of incidents in which the state
and federal officials attempted by
force to compel the dipping of the
Goshen sheep.
Mr.. Goshen drove his sheep herds
from Mesa county into Grand coun-
ty. Utah. several months ago. The
Utah legislature recently passed a
law requiring all sheep in Grand and
two other counties along the eastern
border of Utah to be dipped, whether
"scabby" or not. When the Goshen
herds of $4,000 sheep passed the
state line. the Utah board of sheep
served notice on Mr..
Goslen In this city that he would be
required to dip" all of his sheep.
hr. Goslen objected to this action.
claiming the sheep were free from
disease and did not require dipping
no matter what the condition OF the
herds In the quarantined counties OF
Utah.
Finally he was called up from Salt
Lake by way of Denver. on the long
distance telephone and again served
with notice that unless he dipped his
sheep the state would do 1t for him
Mr.. Goslen at once left for tho Utah
capital and appeared before the Utah
board to protest against their action.
They were reinforced by two federal
inspectors, and in spite of all the ar
guments that the Grand Junction
sheepman and his attorney could pre-
sent. he was informed that the reg
ulations would be enforced.
Mr.. Goslen returned to Grand

The inspectors had brought the

started in to comply with the order,
Goshen ordered his men to tear up

was done 1t was no longer possible to
give the sheep the bath which had
been prescribed for them.

Il informed the board that could
see no reason why sheep which were
perfectly free from all disease should
be dipped because they we're shipped
from an unquarantined into quar-

$4,000 to dip the $4,000 sheep In the
