sures to the agriculturalist on
many of our big projects a certain
income from raising beets.
Equally vital. to Wyoming is
the hope that the appeal for a
restoration of the wool tariff be
needed by the coming congress.
Wyoming sheepmen realize that
the European war will not last al
ways; that with the return to nor

from the wool producing regions
where herders are paid So a month

will soon see this country flooded

A few democrats are talking of a

confess it's laundering tariff poll

will of course attempt to restore

But the money to run the ma

some things must fail along with
those of the other states. How to
raise the money is the big ques-

CHAS. CLUB|NE SUES
SHEEP TRESPASSERS

Suit was filed in the justice court
this morning by Charles Clubine
through his attorneys Henderson &
Caine, against Pete Itchani for 1915
and attorney fees amounting to $1O0,
for the trespass of sheep on his ranch
at Osino. Another suit was filed
against Andrew Tourelli for damages
in the amount of $3.50 and attorneys
fees of 800.
1t is said that on account of the
scarcity of water many trespass cases
are likely to result from sheep being
allowed to enter upon private holdings
tc get to the river. Not in many
years has water been so scarce, and
sheep men moving their flocks from
their winter ranges to the summer
ranges are said to have suffered Sc
we're losses.

PROCEEDINGS Of
DISTRICT COURT

The case of Chas. Black VS.. s. NJ.
Davis came up in the district court
this morning, Judge Horsey of Lincoln
county presiding in the absence of
Judge Taber. Shortly after court con-
Vened Judge Curler, counsel for Mr..
Black appeared and asked that the
case be continued as negotiations
were in progress which looked to a
settlement of the case out of court.
Accordingly a recess was taken until
two O'Clock this afternoon.
This case is one of the most noted
tried in Elko county in many years.
II involves a right of way through the
defendants property to the property
of the plaintiff. Some time ago Mr..
Davis closed his gates and locked
them which prevented the plaintiff
from getting to his ranch except by a
difficult and circuitous route. Mr..
Black then secured a temporary re.
straining order preventing Mr.. Davis
from closing the right of way. A suit
was then brought by Mr.. Davis to dis
solve the temporary injunction, and
the court decided in his favor. The
action now Is on the main question
as to whether a permanent injunction
shall be issued prohibiting the defend.
ant from closing the right of way.
Judge Curler stated In court this
morning that prospects looked very
favorable for an amIcable settlement.
