 This ranch is very up-to,date af fair. and is the range for Fills cattle and calves. It is the calves that have been made the object Of attack by the maurauders and lately the rancher has lost quite a number thru the depredations of the dogs.
 \ number of times he tried to shoot them. but he found it practically i'm. possible to do any good by this means owing to the thickness of the scrub in the vicinity of the ranch. Then he hethoueht himself Of another plan. He had steel trap. which he careful 'y set tin the hope of bagsing the ami, mals He did but he did not get the game. One night he was disturbed by terrific bowling from the direc- tion of the trap and he thought there would be a casualty in the morning. When he inspected the trap, all he saw was d toe of a dog. Evidently the animal had struggled sO desper, alley to become free that it had worn the limb completely thru.
