''The Olive Crown to be presented
January Z, 1915.
In order to make the work more vi
tai, the ancient history classes, de-
cided to give play which would pre-
sent in a concrete form the every day
life of some of the greatest characters
in Greek history.
Letters were written to several pub
fishing houses but no historical drama
could be secured. Then the pupils set
to work to produce one They read
all available material and based the
plot upon actual events.
The main plot presents the attacks
upon Pericles, the greatest statesman
Athens ever produced, and the attempts
ITO remove him from leadership. There
are three under plots, two of which
ARE romances. Two slaves supply the
humurous element and there is provi-
sion made for vocal and instrumental

A STRONG LAW firm
Judge Walters Will Become Partner
Of c. o. LOngley.

Prior to leaving the city for the holi-
days, Judge E. A. Walters in an inter-
view, with q Times reporter, gave the
first authentic information regarding
his Intentions after retiring from the
bench January first. Judge Walters
will become associated with c. O.
LQngley in this city after that date
and will actively take up his law prac-
tice here, where he has hosts Of friends.
The Judge has an enviable record
as judge of the Fourth judicial district
and save for his own volition could al
ways have held the job. His keen
sense of fairness, his legal knowledge
and genial disposition makes a COM
bination of qualifications that will car
ry him far toward the top of his pro-
fession. The Times is glad that Twin
Falls is to be the home of the judge
and his family Mr.. Longley is too
well known in the city and county to
need any introduction. In his five
years residence here he has built up
a splendid practice and reputation as
one of the best trial lawyers In the
district. The firm Of Longley and
Walters will certainly make one of the
strongest legal combinations In the
state.

days in congress, and following votes
on several amendments that the final

cheered by men and women in the
crowded galleries. Spaker Clark re-

Owyhee Sheep and Land Company
Hit Heavily
LAW FOR GRAZING BANDS BONE
OF CONTENTION
James Steele Sues for Damages to
Government Land Adjoining His
Homestead.

One OF the most important cases in
the district court and one that has inn
portant bearing upon the development
OF this tract as winter grazing sec
tion was that OF James Steele versus
the Owyhee Sheep and Land company
for damages. The history of the case
Is briefly as follows: The defendent
while moving band OF sheep from the
winter quarters with large number
of lambs, took three days to move the
band by the Steele ranch within the
two mile limits While the sheep were
on government land unleased BY
Steele and did not trespass his own
| 1dings. Steele sued for $500 dam
ages and the jury In the case gave
him $3.50.
The evidence brought ont for the
most part was that of the plaintiff, the
Sheep company not deeming the evil
dence sufficient to show the ex-
ceBsive damages given by jury as
its verdict. Attorney E. M. Sweeley
represented the stock company, while
the plaintiff was represented by G M.
Booth
In the early history of the bitter
warfare waged between the cattle and
sheep men, a law intended solely for
the benefit of the cattlemen was put
through under Governor Hunt, called
the two mile limit law, which pre-
vented the feeding OF sheep within
two miles of any leased land or home
steads. The only thing permitted was
the rapid passage of the sheep in get
ting from one camp to another. With
the big holdings Of the cattlemen in
the early days, widely scattered, it gave
them chance to control practically
all the grazing lands. 1t was bitterly
contested by the sheep men but has
still stood all tests of the legal bat
teries directed agaist it.
In the present case, hay sufficient
to have fed the band of sheep would
have cost $84, and within less than
two miles of the Steele property, the
same company has a school section
leased upon which one of Steeles tres
pass signs Is located. Government
grazing permit for the same land could
have been secured for about sixty dol
lars. The jury awarded nearly six
times that amount.
The features of the case which make
it vitality interesting for this section is
that every year number of sheep
are sent into this county for winter
feeding. The money left here by the
sheep men runs into the thousands of
dollars. II the law is allowed to stand
upon the statutes OF the state, 1t will
be impossible to get any sheep into
this section OF the state without in
fringing upon the rights given to
ranchers and settlers with regard to
this very obnoxious law. The law has
every appearance of being class legis-
lation and should be repealed. The
day, of wide and free range is q thing of
the past. and the stock business must
necessarily be cut down to smaller
units with each rancher feeding a
small amount OF stock.

But entirely independent of indt-

gard will go out to them, individually
