John S. Mushy, the famous Con federate cavalry leader, who Is now special agent of the government lu charge of United States Intuls, has become a promi nent and spectacu lar figure lu the hitter tight for the range that being waged by conflict lug Interests In tho cattle and sheep country of the West.

C.J (lUty s t0 Clenr the government laud of private fences work that requires courage of a high order, for the annual sucrlflce of lives In the West's great range light is esti mated at 500 victims, and death by as sassination Is the common lot of those who dnre oppose ono faction or an other. Col. Mosby, whose headquarters aro at Sterling, Col., the center of a grcnt cattle country, declares that some of the cattle kings have fenced In mid appropriated to their own use tracts of land larger than many Merman princi palities. In dctlnuce of the law, they have seized upon government land, fenced It lu, forbidden settlers to touch It, and havo made themselves wealthy from this Illegal use of Uncle Sam's property. How Public I.uml In Tukeil. Near Sterling one big cattle company built a fence which shut off nearly 23, 000 acres. It did not completely Inclose the laud, but extended a line from tho Union Pacific to the Burlington Hall road fences, thus forming a vast trliin- gle. In this space thousands of head of cattle were kept only a few cow boys being required to look after the Immense herd. When Col. Mosby ordered the com pany to take down the fence, the objec tion was raised that there had !cen 110 violation of the law because only one sldu of a triangle hnd been Inclosed. Despite the fact that the Illegal fenc ing law has been practically a dead letter for twenty years, ,ol. Mosby Is Insistent In enforcing It, and he has stirred up the cattle owners from the Ulo (irnude to tho Canadian Hue. Tho authorities at Washington are stand ing by htm lu his work, however, In view of the steady encroachments of cattle Interests 011 public laud In the last few years. It Is estimated that In (he Alliance. Neb., districts alone there are (1,1-10,200 neres of government land fenced In. This land Is worth nearly $10,000,000, aud on It the cattlemen hare nearly 400,000 head of cuttle. There have been many mysterious disappearances of settlers lu the cuttle country In reccut yeurs. uud tirders are of common occurrence. Whole tloeks of sheep have been destroyed, ranch houses have becu burned, and other handiwork of the feudist has been everywhere In evidence. The war of tho cuttle and sheen In- teres is of the West bus been a matter of history for several yeurs and bloody history at thut. The cattlemen com. plain that a flock of sheep will mill n grazing country by trampling the ground so thut th gruss will not grow again. They have fought the sheep men lu the courts, aud have been beaten, and now the favorite method of war fare Is to get a company of cowboys and make u raid 011 u loue sheep herder, who may be tending several thousand sheep. The herder when he sees a company of masked men ride into his Hock, shouting the animals right and left, knows thai If he iiitemplN to Interfere IiIh life will be the forfeit. He can do iiuiiiiiik nm Ninnii,iiy unit see ntiuireI of his sheep killed or maimed, and Dually takes the remnant or his flock nnd hurries to another and safer part of the country, while .the cattlemen enjoy possession or tuu range until some other herder venture 011 the for bidden ground. This vendetta of the range seems to grow more bitter us the urea of crim ing laud Is cut down, ICach new home stead means so much less profit lu the pockets of the cattle owner, and in con sequence it feud Is declared that makes a Corslcuti affair seem tunic In compar ison. Colonel Mosby's determined stand ngulnst the fencing In of public lands will do much to simplify matters, If tho example of the famous Confederate leader Is followed by other United Ktutes olliclals. The next step will be to bring peace between the three con dieting Interests of the range country tho cattle owners, the sheep men uud the small ranchers. Until some sort of a truce Is brought about, the yearly record of violent deaths ou the range will moro than equal the uiortullty of the American army In tho Philippines.
