Show SHEEP AND CATTIE- MEN AT WAR. Company D. May be called to Quell Disturbance. The disturbance in Mexico is nothing noth-ing compared with the conflict that has been carried :, f r the past two or three days by thos interested in the sheep and cattle industry. It seemed as the height of folly for President Taft, to cull Company D, 'o the Mexican border, when all signs indicated that their services would be needed right in our own midst to quell the disturbance between be-tween the two local combatants. The Pyramid is glad to state, however, how-ever, that oi) has been poured upon the Iroubled waters and the waring factions are safely aboard the stiip with a calm sea before them. Thus may it ever be. As mentioned in another column of this issue, the cat-1 tlemen of Mount Pleasant met dur-l ing the week and formed a Cattleman's Cattle-man's Association, elected officers, etc. It seems however, that a number num-ber of the cattle men were dissatisfied dissatis-fied with the officers, the president ::nd vice-president in particular. The difficulty was presented to Forestor A. W. Jensen for adjustment with the result that the insurgents were informed that it would be to their interest in-terest and to the interest of all concerned, con-cerned, to adhere to the organization and its officers. Ihe main trouble seemed to be, and is acknowledged to be, cattlemen and holders of permits, but that their main interests are with the sheep. The officers in question were asked to resign, upon refusing to comply with the request, a meeting was called by the insurgents for Thursday evening to determine what course to pursue. Upon receipt of the above information informa-tion from Mr. Jensen, it was decided to bury all greviences, all join hands and work for the best interests of the organization. |
