THE DAILY ARDMOREFTE

this place was negotiating for the
purchase of the Oscar Seldner land
north OF Blue river, near the fish
hatchery. Underwood and Harvey are
supposed to have gone to Wither-
spoon with a proposition to get him
a deed to the property at certain fig
ure, which proposition Mr.. Wither-
spoon is said to have accepted. At
any rate, It seems rnat Underwood
and Harvey went to Dallas on August
22nd, giving out that they were to
meet Seldner there and get his deed
to the land. In Dallas it Is charged
that Underwood impersonated Seld-
ner, and registered as Seldner. giving
Brownwood, Texas, as his address on
the register at the st. George hotel.
Harvey accompanied him. In Dallas
the two are charged with having
drawn up a deed conveying the land
to Witherspoon and this, Underwood
impersonating Seldom, Is said to
have signed with Seldon's name, hay-
ing the deed acknowledged before a
notary public, after which the two
went to the Security National Bank
at Dallas, where one of the officials,
w. Il. Spangler by name, attached the
deed to a draft and drew same on j..
c. Witherspoon at Durant, in care Of
the Durant National Bank. As a CO.
incidence, Seldner and his wife signed
and executed a deed to J. w. Bailey,
who was also negotiating for the land
for the Country Club site, on the same
date as the issuance of the fraudulent
deed, and 1t was later sent to the
Whale and Cox company of this city
for delivery and collection. Mean
time, Witherspoon went to the Durant
National Bank, after notice, and saw
the draft and deed, but for some rea-
son his suspicion was aroused and he
communicated with Deputy Sheriff
Wright. Meantime, Seldner and his
wife had arrived IN Durant, and Seld-
ner, Witherspoon and Deputy Wright
went to Dallas to investigate the mat
ter, when the information as set out
above was disclosed. The facts were
presented to the Dallas county grand
jury, then in session, and bill was
returned against Underwood and Har-
vey.
There was considerable competition
in the buying of the land, the Country
Club and several individuals all being
eager to get it. The draft attached

THE PROPOSED HERD LAW

An initiated law will be presented
to the voters Of Colorado at the next
election, which is known as the Herd
Law" This involves subject not
generally familiar to Colorado people
but one OF such Importance that ii
ought to be fully understood before
the vote is taken.
There are two ways OF treating by
law the relations between the culti-
7ators Of fields and the owners o!
cattle. In the primitive conditions the
stock owners have the right to unlim-
tied pasturagc upon all unfence
lands, and the farmer is under obliga
tion to protect his crops by fences.
This is practically the condition in
Colorado today, with the exception
that the farmers have a right to re-
cover for damages inflicted by ami
mails that break through lawful
fence.
In older and more thickly settleI
communities, the farmer is given the
preference, and the stock owner i,i
compelled to provide fences in which
TO enclose his grazing animals. In
many eastern states one may travel for
many miles through country where
the pastures are fenced while the hay
meadows and the grain fields are op-
en- along the roads.
The law that compels the stock own
cr to keep his animals in pasture
or to watch them so that hey can do
no injury to growing crops. is called
herd law, and that is the kind OF
law that is proposed to pass In Colo
RADIO this year In this particular Law,
however, provision is made that dis e
tTicts may have the option to exempt
themselves from the operations Of the
general herd law. The proposed law.
it is claimed. also repeals, without lim-
itations. the present fence law.
So tar AS we are able to pass an
opinion upon our present knowledge,
we believe that the proposed law
should not be adopted. There may be
and probably are some districts in
Colorado where a modification of the
present law should be made with bet
