True
By Scripps News Association
New York Mav 1 Abraham Levy,
cheif council for Nan Patterson began
summing up lor tbe evidence this
morning m Recorder GoS's court, Tbe
court room was crowded for what is
thrught may be' tbe last day of the
famous trial. He said , "If the prose
cution does not prove Morgan Smith
bought tbe pistol , it is not for the de
fense to prove that be did not. If tbe
proB60ution has failed to prove a mo
tive for the killing of Young, the de
fense is not called upon to prove that
the motive did not exist." Attorney
Levy makes tbe charge that, though
Young seduced tha defendant, there
was no evidence to show that she was
ever untrue to him. '

A number of the leading stockmen
of this county met in this ' oity Sat
urday afternoon and organised an as
sociation which will be known as tbe
Grande fionde Stockgrowers Protec
tive Association ." This association ia
made necessary from the fact that
stock "metiers" have been operating
in this valley to an extent which calls
for some stringent regulations. It is
firmly believed that this association
will take the proper steps to at . least
cause tbe stock stealing business . to
bj somewhat dangerous as well as in
teresting. The Association djea not
inteud to leave any stone unturned
which will in any way . impede . the
successful progress of the - class ol
men who make life a burden to the
honest stock grower.
Every oase of stock loss will ' be re
ported to tbe Association and no ex
pense will be spared to ferret, out and
discover tbe cause of the lots and J the
parties responsible for tbe loss. If it
thought by' the . Association that
stock has been stolen, or run off the
range tbe poisons found to be respon
sible will receive prompt attention at
the bands ol the law and tbe associa
tion will lend its self to the officer
with what information it may have
at Its command and ' all ' the funds
necessary to jnforoe .the ! law. The
following well known stockmen were
elected officers of the Association for
the ensuing year. : V , Z.
