War \Voodlakc ,
War with all its horrors seems to
have struck Woodlake. and several
casualties have already resulted.
The facts are hard to get , but the
story is about like this :
I The railroad company has for some
time been losing coal at Woodlake ,
and a few weeks ago several arrests
were made among the accused par
ties being Squire Kilgore and Jim
Woodman. Milt Latta is section
f oi eman at Woodlake , and was the
direct cause of the arrests being
made , but some way or other W. A.
Parker was supposed to have had a
hand in the business. Squire Kilgore
came to Valentine , said he would
stand trial , but the case was dismiss
ed. The other parties pleaded guilty
and made restitution to the company.
One day last week Squire became in
volved in an altercation with Parker
in the latter's store , and a fight was
soon on , but bystanders interfered
ere much damage was done , but lots
of bad blood was stirred up. A day
or two after this occurrence. Milt
Latta was in Levee's blacksmith
shop , when in came Jim Woodman.
Ofcourse it didn't take more than a
dozen words to get fighting blood up
in Woodman and Latta. Prior to
this time Leyee had always been
counted as a non-partisan. As we
remarked , Woodman and Latta soon
wanted to fight , and at it they went.
Woodman struck Latta with a piece
of ironand Latta smashed Woodman ,
and then they clinched and rolled to
the floor , Latta on top. Here the
story becomes confused , but at any
rate Levee called to the combatants
to stop , which they didn't do. but
continued to pummel each other.
Xot wishing the light to proceed fur
ther in his shop Levee grabbed a
heavy hammer and smashed Latta in
the shoulder , throwing the bones out
af place and injuring his arm severe
ly. This put a stop to the fight.
The sequel to the whole thing came
aut Monda35 when Latta came to
town and had a warrant issued for
Levee , charging him with assault
with intent to do great bodily injury.
On receipt of a telegram Levee came li
to town. Tuesday , and the trial will ,
be held one week from today. We
ire utterli' at a loss to form an opin
ion of the case , and give the story as
nearly correct as we can. The entire
town is agitated over the occurrences
noted , and lucky is he who is not
rompelled to take sides. We are
told that trouble has been brewing in
Dur sister village for over a 3rear , and
this storm may serve to clear the at
mosphere.
Losses of Cattle.
Denver , Colo. , March 4. Charles F.
Martin , secretary of the National Live
Stock association , today issued a bulle
tin concerning live stock losses on the
range this winter. It says :
' With the exception of Montana , re
ports have been received from leading .
stockmen and are considered accurate
is far as they go. in Idaho , Wyoming ,
Colorado , Northern and Western Texas ,
New Mexico , Oklahoma and Indian
territory , the winter has been the
tvors : ; known in ten years or more.
"Fortunately the great cold made
he storms dry , and there was enough
A'ind and sun to keep a fair proportion
a
f the ranges uncovered. Oregon ,
Washington and Arizona suffered very
ittle and Avill have only nominal losses.
California is still suffering from drouth
ind the outlook there is bad.
"The losses in Wyoming , Colorado
ind the Dakotas as yet have not aver-
iged 4 per cent. In Northern and
kVestern Texas and Northeastern New
ilexico and through Southern Okla-
loina and Indian territory the heaviest
[
osses have been with cattle being
a
iioved north from the south.
,
"Where the cattle went into the win
er in bad condition the mortality has
cen heavy , re-cliing in some sections
is high as 20 per cent. Taking the
ange section as a whole to the present
ime the losses will average 4 per cent.
iVitli the most favorable conditions
hat can be expected , an additional
oss of 2 per cent may be looked for
efore spring , and should the weather
lontinue bad through March a heavy , .
'
oss will certainly result.
"In Utah. Wyoming and some parts .
f Oregon heavy sheep losses are re-
orted. In Western Utah the condi-
ions appear to be almost as bad. In .
STew Mexico , Colorado , Kansas and
Nebraska the reports are not so dis-
louraging , but in sections of these
tates where the range is depended
tpon exclusively the losses have been
icavier than usual. "
Charged with Incest.
Jack Wright , a farmer and stock nan
iving south of Gordon , is in jail at
lushville under heavy bonds , to ans-
yer to the heinous crime of incest with
lis eldest daughter. The evidence '
igaiust him is said to bfi of a most re-
pelting character and will doubtless
and him in the penitentiary the bal-
ince of his days. The wife , son and
wo daughters testify against him.
