Elk Slaughter : 1850

cd the elk from starving Mostly, though the fact is
ignored that they were promised starvation by the
livestock magnate, IVES D,EWARI, the Northern Pa
cific handyman George Kern, and the kow-towing
Park superntendent last year, and the year before
that, and the year before that, UNLESS 50 MANY

not content with the huge uneaned profits which came
to them by the increase of livestock values They are
not content with the further rise in their wealth from

not content with the immense grazing privileges they
enjoy on federal and state lands for few cents an
acre They want the grass that the elk eat, too
