broke and the rider jumped. The
horse struck a board on the fence in
such a way that it entered his breast,

HUMANE OFFICER
TALKS OF HIS WORK
More Cruelty To Children Than
To Animals Reported
Worst Offenders Are
Foreigners

w. q. Harris, the State Humane
officer who came up from Cheyenne
to investigate the beating of the cav
airy horse by Clarence Williams,
states that in the two years he has
held this office they have never lost
a case where they have advised pros
ecution for cruelty to animals.
Public sentiment is invariably with
them and they have all the machinery
of the law behind them to punish Of
tenders. There are few people, he
finds, willing to defend the human
brutes who abuse animals and chill
dren.
He is returning to Cheyenne saort-
ly to prosecute a man who cut a slit
in the skin of a cows back, put a
wire through it and attached a tin
can to the wire to keep the COW from
crawling under fences. This, he stat
ed. is not an unheard-of practice, but
he intends to put a stop to it wher-
ever he can hear that 1t is being done.
The true westerner is usually con-
siderate Of his stock. feeding his
horse before he eats himself, and
careful OF his welfare, but he has had
much trouble with the foreigners
working in the beet fields who over
load their wagons and beat their hors-
es numerically when they stick in
the soft dirt. He has had cases of
this kind at Worland and Wheatland.
A cast OF cruelty which was well
punished last winter was that OF a
man who stuck a grab-hook such as
is used for moving ties, into a hois Sc
until the snow was saturated with the
blood of the animal. The man was
fined $s5 and served 30 days in jail.
The biting Of the ears of unruly
horses to make them stand is anoth-
err practice which the Humane Society
will not tolerate. Two men, one a
negro, were stopped by Mr.. Harris
during the Casper fair this fall when
they bit the ears of the unbroken
horses In the wild horse race.
The majority of their cases, how
ever, have to do with cruelty to chill
dren and incorrigibles. The former
are placed in the State Home for
CniuTen anu lHe idttei
placed in institutions in Denver.
The State Home has, at present,
800 children placed out in private
families and 29 in the institution.
The work takes the humane officer
all over the state and demands so
much of his time that he has been in
Cheyenne only 75 days, which in
cludes Sundays and holidays, since
the first of the year..
The position is one which requires
Judgment and common sense, and
this Mr. Harris has shown himself to
have during his tenure of office. Low
ers of animals are sometimes overly
sentimental concerning them and
their treatment, as witness the indig-
nant letter of a lady printed in a mag
azine published by an eastern humane
society. protesting against the sprink-
ling of grass with kerosene to burn
grasshoppers.

WATKINS BATTLES SHEEP
HERDER; LOSES ON POINTS

S. A. Watkins almost whipped ONE
body last Saturday. The decision,
however, was given to his opponent,
Frank Travilla, a sheepherder, on
points, the latter kicking Mr.. Watkins
on the mex to the last button of his
waistcoat.
The go" took place in front of the
First National bank and was witness
ed by the usual number of more or
less Innocent B~ystanders.
Travilla called Watkins out of his
name whereupon Watkins leaned out
of his car and slapped him. Travilla
then invited his erstwhile employer
to the sidewalk.
Travilla being only five feet five,
and drunk. Mr.. Watkins accepted the
challenge. Travilla then made a right
arm swing and missed him.
Watkins. who Is not only fast-in
fact, a whirlwind-but resourceful
and a wicked fighter. then scratched
him on the lip-drawing first blood.
Travilla made a rush, endeavoring
to get Watkins by the necktie (shown
in cut.)
Watkins, shifty on his feet and with
a reach reminiscent of Fitzsimmons,
retaliated by %snatching off Travilla's
cap and dashing 1t v~iciously to the
pavement.
Travilla recovered his balance and
came back with the obvious intention
of butting Watkins. Watkins clutch
ed him by the top Of the head. but
since he was bald was unable to hold
him. Travilla tented and landed the
kick which got him the decision.
Groggy but game, Watkins made a
pass at Travilla and missed him; then,
before anyone could interfere, and
while a murmur of horror ran among
the spectators, Watkins swooped down
on Travilla's cap lying on the side
walk and kicked 1t into the street in
a brutal, not to say inhumane, man
ner.
While Travilla was being congratu'
lated upon his victory, Mr.. Watkins
jumped into his fivver and missed

SETTLERS BETRAYED.
Land Owners Never Consented
To Bond Property To Build
Dam-Says Meeteetse
Rancher

When the Irrigation Law was pass
ed by the legislature Of Wyoming CIV
ing individuals the right and power to
create irrigation districts and build
reservoirs. it appears that all the dis
tricts had already been selected, and
h only thing which remained to do
was to cut and fit the law accordingly.
/ Will say that the cutting and 1T
ting was done by a master hand.
The first act was to circulate a pc
tition setting forth the needs and
benefits OF a reservoir in Sunshine
Basin and all ranchmen and stockmen
on the Greybull river we're urged to
sign the petition asking for the crea-
ton Of the Greybull Valley Irrigation
District
Many people were led to believe by
the persons circulating the petition.
that the petition was only to find out
how man there were who would be
in favor of a reservoir being built
under the most favorable circumstan-
ces and at a cost which was not to
xceed $500 per acre.
The surprise of the residents of this
district may be imagined, when they
were summoned, whether they had
signed the petition or not, to appear
in court and give reasons why a dis
trict should not be forn.si.
This was sent out. on
.t-.4 s.-tf-- - - - t.-Ls--r
time of the year for the ranchmen,
making it almost impossible for them
to go.
Here, too, was shown the craftiness
of the mind behind the scheme.
Notwithstanding the difficulty of
the ranchers leaving their work at
this time of the year, more than 40 of
them, representing the best and larg,
est owner in the district, were pres
ent.
Their surprise may again be imag-
ined, when, lined up ready for action.
the sponsors for this ready-made law
were present with attorneys. maps,
and engineeB-everything necessary
for the completion of their plans.
However, the promoters also met
with a surprise when the ranchers
and stockmen absolutely refused to
consider any such scheme, and pro
tested against being ieeced in this
manner of the privileges the State
had given them.
The promoters were so taken aback
by the ranchers' and stockmen's refus-
al that they asked the court for more
time to change and remodel their
scheme.
The protesting ranchers and stock
men were then told hat they would
have to appear again in the near fu-
fure-or as soon rs the promoters
could invent another stranglehold
more effective.
Upon the second appearance of the
stockmen and ranchers, with a remon-
STRANGE signed by 100 of the best and
largest of their number. they were
told to go and make peace with the
commissioner appointed by the
Court.
The court records say that peace
was made and everybody fully salts
fed.
! am right here 10 saw that the
ranchers and stockmen did not say
they were satisfied, and never agreed
to the terms set forth by the Court
although their attorneys may have
informed the Court to that effect.
