ed. the opponents declare. by the real
ization that If the measure becomes
law the agricultural interest of the
state will be almost ruined, affecting
thereby every branch of business,
have urged their members to use
their influence in defeating it at
the polls.
Encouraged by the sentiment
against the bill expressed by Eugene
Grubb, known over the world as the
potato king, and other agriculturists
of fame in the state. the Farmers
Grange and Farmers Union, who have
been fighting the measure also are
planning to conduct a whirlwind cam
paign of education in the last weeks
before election. Officials of the orga-
nizations are confident the bill win
be supported only in those districts
where settlers are not sufficiently
familiar with actual conditions to
realize the danger to their own in
terests if it becomes law, and where
they are united in the belief they will
be voting for a herd law instead of a
measure which merely repeaIs the
fence law already on the statute
books, and payes the way for endless
trouble and litigation for them. That
Craze their stock free on the vast
acres owned by spectators in that
section of the state will be compell-
ed to lease or buy those lands and
fence them, is a thing that an effort
will be made by the farmers organi-
zations to put before every Eastern
Colorado farmer, they say.
The charge is being made by the
opponents that the benefits that will
accrue TO these Eastern Colorado
spectators is a part of the sinister
motive behind the measure. Some
of these spectators, one especially,
who owned $4,000 acres in that sec
ton. was favored, ii is charged. by
Volney T. Hoggatt. father of the fenc-
ing bill. when he was register of the
state land board. The records of the
land office show that under Hoggatt's
direction this land owner was sold
more than a thousand acres of school
lands at IS an acre. or S2.35 an acre
less than the poor man could buy il
for. altho the law states expressly
that not more than 800 acres cal be
sold to one person. And it is the
spectators particularly. the oppon-
ents declare. who will reap the great
est benefit should the bill become
law. r-f

ABOUT THE HERD LAW
(By RICHARD MILToN)

"A Bill Pertaining to the Running
of Livestock At Large" is the title
by which the measure originated by
Denver newspaper and backed by
its owners. which has caused as much
agitation over the state, perhaps, as
any other measure ever initiated.
will be designated on the ballot at
the coming election Though the sup
porters of the measure obtained sig
natures to their petitions under the
name of Herd Law" and advocated
it as duplicate of efficacious herd
laws of state more thickly popclated
than Colorado, it was found it could
not SO be called on the official ballots
and the foregoing title was chosen
instead.
Opponents of the bill. who number
business organizations in cities and
towns and every farmers dairymans'
and stockgrowers organization in the
state, declare they have won a vic
tory in the change in title They
have based their fight largely on the
grounds the signatures to the petit
tions. considerably more than half of
which were obtained in Denver, were
obtained thru misrepresentation, and
lnt Euldl ulSlltlS support 10 II GAIN
ed likewise. Declaring the legality
of a great many of the signatures
was questionable. they contend now
that the change in title is proof of
their claims that the influences be-
hind the purposed law Were actuated
by sinister motive, and We're deter
mined to get it initiated at any cost
or by any means, hoping that the un-
thinking city dwe1ler would cast
enough votes for it election day, be-
lieving they were voting for some
thing of benefit to the farmer, to
make it a law.
The opponents say also that the
task of educating the voters to the
certain danger TO the states pros
peTity the bill holds will be an easier
one now. The Denver Civic and Com
mercial association. which came out
several weeks ago in unalterable op-
position to the measure. is prepar-
ing campaign of education to be di-
rected at the Denver voters. and the

DRUNKEN
RANCHER
"SHOT up
PENROSE

The town of Penrose was terroriZ-
ed in traditional wild west style
about O'Clock Sunday afternoon by
a gunman named c. Z. Mccoy, who
has lived In the Beaver Park district
for the last five or six months. Nc
Coy, who is said to have been drunk
at the time, armed himself with a
high-powered rifle. a 42-calibre re-
Yolver and a jug of whiskey after
which he mounted his horse and
started out to shoot up the town"
He first went to the Penrose store
where he mad some trouble with A.
c. Larsh. the proprietor. and then
rode rapidly away. shooting at every
thing he saw, but fortunately. he
proved to be a poor marksman and
nobody was injured. He galloped
thru the streets firing regular fusil-
lade of shott which resulted in most
of the inhabitants of the town seek
ing the shelter of their cellars for
safety.
A hurry-up telephone message was
sent to the authorities here detailing
what was taking place and Sheriff
Newcomb and his brother. George
Newcomb. as deputy. hastened TO the
scene of trouble to restore quiet and
take the bad man into custody, If
possible. When the officers arrived,
Mccoy was found backed up in a
strategic position at the entrance Of
a blacksmith shop where he was
holding a dozen or fifteen men at bay
at the point of a gun.
The sheriff called upon Mccoy to
surrender, which he reluctantly did
and his artillery and jug of vhiskey
were taken from him. Mccoy was
taken into custody and brought here
and locked up in the county jail on
the charge of disturbing the peace.
The prisoner has a wife and family. A
letter found in McCoy's pocket shows
that he imported the whiskey from
Missouri.
