VETERAN OBJECTS TO BILL
Indian Fighter Says SmOOt Amend
ment to Pension Bill is Unfair

w. S. Davidson, Richards only sur
viving veteran of the Indian Wars, is
very much incensed over the proposed
Smoot amendment to the pension bill.
In an interview with Mr.. Davidson
he stated that he considered it dis
grace to class the soldiers who fought
to protect the women and children
from the ruthless Indians in the same
category as the members of the Utah
militia, who used their best efforts,
assisted by the hostile natives, to de-
file that which the soldiers of the U.
S. were trying to defend. Mr.. David
son was member of the Kansas Vol
unteer Calvary, Company A, and saw
considerable active service in 1867,
and he feels that the veterans of these
Indian wars are entitled to a pension
from the government, inasmuch as
the majority Of them are past 20 years
of age and as general thing incapac-
itated from active work. However,
he states that he would feel positive
ly that it was an insult to be rated
with the members of the Utah militia
whom it is Senator Shoots idea to
place in the same class as the other
men who fought during these wars, as
he knows that they took an active part
in many of the worst atrocities perpe-
trated during the entire campaign. It
is proposed by the veterans of the In
dian wars to do everything in their
power to prevent this body of men
beneftting with them under the pen
sion bill. .-~

RICHLAND MULES BRING
SATISFACTORY PRICES
Wheat Farmer Picks Up Several Fine
Young Animals on Richland
Ranches

Richland has forged to the front
during the past week along lines pre-
viously unheard of in this part of the
valley. A farmer who owns about
1900 acres of wheat land in the vicin-
ity of Mesa, accompanied by Geo. Fin
ley, was thru the district last week
looking for young mules to be used on
his ranch and several important sales
were made by local stockmen.
A. M. Bartlef-, who has spent years
in the stock raising and cattle buying
business, sold five yearling mules for
5000. Mr.. Bartlett considers this a
very good price and was more than
satisfied with the deal. He says there
is big money to be made raising mules
in this district.
Another Richland stockman who got
in on the deal was Patrick Costello.
He disposed of one yearling and two
head which will not be two years old
until May, for $3.50. Mr.. Costello has
an ideal location for raising cattle,
and will undoubtedly be heard from
in the near future, as he expects to
devote a great part of his time to this
class of farming.
A. E. Jones also disposed of one
mule, coming two years old, for $500.
In regard to these sales one must
take into consideration the fact that
the buyer came into the district look
ing for the stock. That no time was
wasted in looking up a market or ex-
pense in shipping. The men wanted
the mules and they came to place
where they could get them and were
we'll satisfied with their bargain. Geo.
Finley, who accompanied the buyer,
is regular visitor to Richland where
he comes to buy cattle and hogs and
pays the regular market price. -.

Mrs. B. T. Simmons, who has been
confined to her bed for several weeks
past is on the mend.
Any farmer desiring milk tests can
have this work performed free OF
charge by leaving samples of milk at
the high school any Thursday. Prof.
Walter Holt is doing a valuable work
with his stock class and no dairyman
should overlook this opportunity to
find out whether or not his cows are
paying propositions or merely board
ers.
A mad coyote ran amuck at the
John Hauser ranch Sunday causing
considerable alarm among the ranch
ers in that vicinity. The beast was
very rabid and as Mr.. Hauser had no
gun in the house he threw a large
stone at it. The animal picked up
the stone in it's mouth and charged
round the farm, breaking thru chicken
fences and swapping at the horses.
It was finally driven away and made
for the Baker farm, incidentally
breaking up game of baseball among
the boys of that neighborhood. The
beast finally was shot by Joseph Lind
skog. Whether or not any damage
was done to stock before it was killed
remains to be seen as it was one of
the worst specimens of mad coyote
encountered in the valley this win
ter.
