At one time more than 20,000 Nutter Nut-ter cattle roamed this range with its all-important water holdings. Water has been the deciding factor fac-tor in the success or failure of, stockmen. For this reason many bitter fights centered around the important water rights which were a part of the Nutter regime. With the entering of the "woolies" into this section, bitter resentment was expressed by cattle men in range warfare. Thirty live-water patented patent-ed water rights and about 7,600 acres are reported to have changed hands in the Hail-Veater, Nutter deal recently consummated. Most of this land and its water rights go back to the early Mormon Mor-mon Pioneer days when some of the richest men of the state ran (Continued on page flye) I Hail Ouys Mutter Cattle (Continued from first page) their stock on these ranges. The area purchased starts at Blackrock and is reported to extend to a strip thirty by sixty miles. Mr. Hail, who has been a close friend of the Nutters for years, declares that he has had this deal in mind for a long time. As a fitting fit-ting climax for the closing out of this famous company and as one of the last big gatherings of range stock in this country, he has planned plan-ned to stage a big free barbeque at the time that the stock is turned turn-ed over to him. Mr. Hail expects that-around 4.000 head of stock j will be gathered in the final round-I round-I up. This should attract the interest inter-est of people throughout this section sec-tion and many other parts of the country. |
