He had never known that, along with
some proofs in the envelope that the
plant owner owed him money, Don
had inclosed the thousand dollars he
had taken.
Don got well, and as there was
some basis to the money claims of
that reckless young man, he was not
prosecuted. Vital good came out of
his rigorous experience, for he mend

to his uncle.

Herd Law Bill a Misnomer

The only support the so called Herd
Law" bill is receiving in the country is
from a few farmers who are supporting
the measure under the mistaken idea
that it is really herd law bill. Even
Mr.. Hoggat, the author of the bill, de-
nies that it is herd law bill. The title
under which this bill will appear on the
ballot is; can act in relation to the
running of stock at large" Those
farmers who imagine that under this
act they can herd their cattle upon the
unfenced grazing lands of this state
will discover their error when it is too
late. There is nothing whatever in this
bill that compares in any way with the
herd law acts of other states. This bill
simply makes the farmer responsible
for the acts OF his domestic animals.
Should his cattle be grazing upon the
unfenced, unoccupied lands OF some
private owner and should he suddenly
appear and take possession of the ami
mails. the farmer would be compelled
to pay damages for the grass alleged to
a"e bean eaten on this private land,

to change the advertisers copy to
suit his own selfish convictions.
We cannot understand why a
newspaper man, who is supposed
to be public spirited individual, /,
can openly denounce a meeting
such as will be held at the court
house in Julesburg next Saturday
night. The newspaper is looked
upon as a medium to boost all
public Improvements, and unless
1t does these things, it has not
performed It's du'y and is nn-
worthy Of support from the citl-
zens of the territory in which it
circulates.
A sugar factory proposition is
going TO sail along just the same,
Mr.. Fry, whether you fall in line
or not, and We think you will
have the cooperation of very
few if you desire to give the mat
ter a cold shoulder. You had
better view the matter in a broad
way and gel the "Pull-Together"
spirit for big things, and let the
little sore spots which you may
have pursue wasteful course.
Don't get the idea that every
thing has to be accomplished in
Il political way-because the Mass
meeting next Saturday night in
Juleshurg at the court house will
be a public welfare meeting and
will be participated in by men,
bers of all political organizations,
who will join together in a work
of securing a much needed enter
prise for this section-with a
view of mutual benefit to all.

even though it was unfenced and the
grass practically valueless. Under this
act every owner of domestic animals in
this state is liable, sooner or later, to
be compelled to go to court to recover
his animals. 1t will compel him to
keep his animals in tightly fenced pas:
lures or barns, for the minute they
leave his premises they will become a
constant menace.
There has never been such an act
placed upon the statute books Of any
state or country. Itis the most pre-
posterous proposition ever presented to
an intelligent people. 1t simply pro.
vides a penalty upon every stock owner
in this state and makes him liable
through the mere fact of ownership.
Should such a law be passeL and with
stand the scrutiny of the courts, it
would unquestionably annihilate the
stock industry Of that state.

Il can only say that | am glad
1t was not a police officer who
did the shooting" said Petit to-
day. II do not approve of any
violence of this kind, and am
only sorry that inexperienced and
hot-headed deputies have to be
hired. No man should carry a
gun unless he has proper judg-
ment.
Il went to the longshoremen's
headquarters alone last night
after the riot, and ! feel sure that
the longshoremen as a whole de-
plore the affair just as much as
does the public. The union men
ordered all members to go home,
and did their best to prevent any
further trouble.

II have always counseled the
union men of Tacoma to forget
about violence, and only do their
fighting at the polls. The fact
thta one of Sheriff Longmire's
deputies did this shooting, sou
pied with the fact that Longmire
issued a recent call for state
militia to handle the strike, has
started q political fight in Taco-

than any physical battle yet oc-
