Near Sterling one big cattle company
built a fence which enclosed nearly
ifi.W acres. It did not completely en

Vnlon Pacific railroad fence, thus
forming a vast triangle. In this space
thousands of head of cattle were kept,
only a few cowboy being required to
look after the Immense herd.
When Colonel Moshy ordered the
company to take down the fence the
objection was raised that there had
been no violation of the law because
only one side of a triangle had been
tncloeed.

fencing law has been practically a

In Wyoming the killing of the Nlckell

The Nlckell boy was shot not far

to retaliate by polalnlng ell tbe cattle

particularize his whereabout, but the
supposition obtains that he had hi
own reason for not wanting hi
whereabouts or his act on the day In

nocence of the crime with which ha

some future act of those who commit
