If the "voice from Running Water"
who contributes to the Herald occasion

oil crosswise it might reliove him some

in the region of iiis thorax.
Alliert Taylor, the restaurant man,

proud slayer of an antelope, but his
many efforts had been fntile until just

is more easy and restful) his form more
towering and his step more elastic.
By the operation of a new law passed
by the late legislature, school elections
occur now on the last Monday in June,
and old officers will hold over until that
time. The elections formerly occured
on the first Monday in April. The law
is now in effect and those districts which
held elections bust Monday did1 so illegal
ly and will have to hold another elec
tion at the proper time.

published another law article last week.
The article is nearly a column in length,
t in fine type, and contains the nrinci-
td sections of a bill in reference to wa
tfr rights. The article was introduced
itlt the statement that the law is of
ipterest to Sioux County. The very
(Jrst section of the bill contains the state
ment "that in all streams not more than
ty feet in width, the rights of riparian
opnetors are not aiiectea ny me provis
ions of this act." As there are no
iireams "more than fifty feet in width"
Sioux county it is difficult to see how
Uie law in the language pf the Herald
'would be applicable to Sionx county."

There is a large immigration in here

1 Point Look Out.
I see the rooster flapping his wings
and crowing for herd law in a recent
Journal. It is a God send for the far
mers around here. I lost last year 150
bu. of corn and most all the garden
truck I had. The free range element is
doing all they can to stop settlement.
One would-be ranch-man who runs the
J. T. ranch, as he calls it, with 18 head
of two year old heifers that "belong to
his father, is trying to get in his dirty
work on a cood actual settler that is
trying to make a home for liimself.
This settler built himself a house and
was living in it there on his claim, then
Mr. "Would Be" skipped out
and entered a filing on the same
claim, for his father, who has had a con
test on a homestead alongside of Mr.
Would Be and thereby holding the land
from actual settlement, but our settler
is one that c'ume to stay and is not
afraid of the shotgun law that has pre
vailed heretofore and we poor grangers
intend to stav hv him. I am not an ad
vocate of nny rash means but I think i)
society ought to bo formed for protec
tion against tho shotgun element and
likewise the salary grabbers, and those
who sanction the robbery that is going
on at the county sc;t. We give Mr.
Walker great praise for exposing the
ring. Go alxut Pry. Walker, keep the
ball a rolling".
