L'anüèr, Wyo , July 23. —Word
was received here today through C. E.
Sorenson, ' who came from the scene
of a battle between sheep and cattle
men in the New Fork country laBt
Friday. Twenty-six flocks of sheep
belonging to Rock Spring parties
ttaTkkéd over the deadline established
by tbe cattlemen of that vicinity, and
were attacked by 150 masked men
and one herder killed and at least
$000 head of sheep were destroyed.
The balance of the herders were
driven away from their flocks and
the pack outfits and their belongings
burned.
Tbe cattlemen surrounded the
sheep camp, held up at the muzzle
of shotguns and rifles the eotire force
of sheepmen and burned their be
longs, including the coats which they
wore. They then lined them up
and blindfolded them, marching tbe
lot some distance over the rough
mountain roads, after which they
were ordered to hit the trail and
should they return their lives would
pay the forfeit.
Later reports state, that 7,000
sheep were killed.
Poisoning the System.
It.is through the bowels that the
body is cleansed of its impurities.
Constipation keeps these poisons in
the system, causing headache, dul
neas and melancholy at first, then
unsightly eruptions and finally seri
ous illness unless a remedy is ap
plied. DeWitt's Little Early Risers
prevent this trouble by stimulating
the liver and promote easy, healthy
action of the bowels. These little
pills do not act violently but by
strengthening the bowels enable them
to perform their own work. Never
gripe or distress

A False Report.
We understand the report is in
circulation that we are going to close
out our business in Weiser. We
wish to say we never told anyone
we were going out of business, and
never bad any intention of doing so.
We are here to stay and intend to
make this our permanent home.
Our business has been entirely satis
factory since coming here, and we
don't want anyone to think we are
closing out because we are selling
goods so reasonably. Our motto
has always been quick sales, small
profits and one price to all and will
continue to be so as loDg as we re
main in business, which we hope will
be a longtime. Thanking our many
friends and customers for their liberal
patronage and soliciting a contin
uance o f same, we remain.
Bespectfully,
The Leader.
