by tho Supiuter Light and Water

fork divide, aud grazing on tho
waters which are to furnish the city
Its additional water supply.
Tho sheep iu the main are from
the vicinity of Jleppner. Mr.
Tomliusou says that several of tho
herders agreed to obey the mandates
of tho Interior Department and
move their (looks at once, but others
used profane language, and wanted
to know where they would go.
He informed them that this was no
nlliilr ot his, but If they didn't hit
the trail at once and vacate tho
reserve, they might expect a United
States marshal after them.
Tho sheep are ranging all over
Haldy and along McCully's Fork.
The houlkroH seen iu the vicinity of
Haldy last night, were made by tho
herders after they had corralled their
flocks to keep wild animals away.
If they venture very far beyond
Haldy they will be iu Grant county

Giay, superintendent of the Valley
Queen and deputy sheriff of Grant
county, who from his previous record
in this Hue will make it extremely,
