The first band of sheep to be trailed across tho reser- iwuuu miii;t3 nit; feu vui niiiciiu uujjuauu i! ?ll toll for crossing is now being drlv- across. Tho band belonging to Joe Conelly, consisting of 2,000 ; grown isheep and 1,000 lambs, is crossing. A toll of 3 cents per head is required for sheep crossing the re serve, and aside from that the sheep man has to give a bond for damages and pay an Indian policeman to act as an escort. The expense to Mr. Conelly will be in the neighborhood of $100. Aside from tho Conelly band nearly ;all the sheep were driven around the reservation, but as Mr. Conelly was lato in leaving for the mountains he was forced to cross.
