Bad Characters on the Road.

there iM'fore daj'llglit they drove to
the Chan. I mien ranch, where they
ntole a Jug of w hlnkey. They loaded
the jug on ami then unloaded the
Jug and then they were loaded.

recti met tho outllt nt Salt Creek,
where the fun commenced.
They handcuffed the man and
Kinehart held him whlleJliiinearched
the wagon for tho gun. Jim Maid to

While the olllcerM were putting the

Cattle Not Quarantined.

Dear Sir:
With except loan of two bands of
sheep, have been kept un the jump
Inspecting tho cattle on tho way to
Montague, as Klamath Falls aud
Foe Valley are directly Iu the path
of tho many bauds to come off the
Reservation and from lako and
Klamath Counties. There being so
many small bands and coming from
different localities 1 am unable to
reach all tne cattle going through,
especially too as many of tho trail
ers aro an yet uuaciiiialuted with the
new regulation reiiulrlng Inspection.
Tho report circulated to tho effect
that tho Inspector at Montague had
held up and quarantined cattle at
that point Is a mistake aud though
it resulted lu temporarily stopping
tho movement of a few bands (own
ers being afraid to trust their stock
within any quarantined district)
tho movement has boon again re
sumed and stock Is going from bill
ing point to destination, If free of
disease, without molestation. Tho

Moving Picture Show.

picture show played to a fairly good,
house In the hall last Friday night.
They bad a good picture machine.
Mr. Fox sang till be was hoarso aud

celling at tho end of each song.
Cobb Henkle was there and appre

for bin money when tho show has
