The Iiko county authorities will, and should leave no stone unturned to apprehend the parties guilty of the killing of tiny McCune's sheep In the northern end of that county some weeks ago.

Senator Hansbrough, chairman of the public lands committee, intro duced a bill Feb. 20th, amending the lieu land law in a way to rob It of Its objectionable features. In view of the fact that Hansbrough backs the measure, It is sure to receive con sideration.
