Conviction Of Butterfield
Livestock Company Set
Aside by Supreme Court
and the Case Remandta1
for Re trial.
RULES LAID DOWN
FOR USE OF RANGE
Custom Establishes Rights
of Cattlemen and Sheep
men-Court Erred in It's
Instructions to the Jury.

In priority right case involving the
use of range for cattle and sheep the
supreme court Saturday handed down
a decision in, which the judgment of
conviction standing against the But
| terrified Livestock company for rang
ing sheep on cattle range is re-
versed and the cause remanded to the
trial court for Washington county in
the Seventh Judicial district with di-
rections to take such action as may
appear proper in view of the decision.
Judge Charles p. Mccarthy of the
| Third judicial district court wrote the
| decision. His findings are concurred
in by Justices Morgan and Rice.
| The supreme court finds that under
| section 6S72 of the revised codes, if the
usual and customary use of a range
has been for cattle, it is cattle range;
| if the usual and customary use of a
| range has been for both cattle and
| sheep, 1t is not a cattle range under
that section, but cattle and sheep
range; that the exhaustive right of
cattlemen as against sheep men to the
use of certain range which has first
been occupied by the cattle men may
be abandoned by their act in entire
ly ceasing to use the range, or by per-
hitting the customary use of it for
sheep in common with cattle. without
protest, or asserting an exclusive
right.
JOINT USE OF RANGE.
The court further finds that If cat
tie and sheep men Jointly use the
range in the usual and customary
manner of using it for a period OF
time long enough to create a custom,
and If the cattle men know of such
joint use and do not protest against or
claim a prior and exclusive right to
it, then the herding or grazing of
sheep upon such range is not unlaw-
full even though it be fact that be-
fore such customary point use of both
sheep and cattle, the land was used
exclusively for cattle.
The Butterfield Livestock company
was found guilty in the district court
from which an appeal was taken. The
supreme court holds the evidence was
insufficient to justify the verdict of
grazing sheep on a cattle range and
the trial court should have given in
structions to the jury requested by
the defendant regarding abandonment
of the range by cattlemen.
