SHEEP MEN MUST GIT

That’s the Order that was Given by Long Valley Settlers.

A letter from Lardo dated Sept. 3d, says there is some excitement there, caused 
by settlers of Long Valley trying to drive the sheep men out of the country.  
Nine of the “natives” waited on a herder who is in charge of the sheep of Mr. 
Butterfield, of Weiser, on the night of the 2d and gave him 24 hours to leave 
the valley, but on account of his being alone and without horses, they 
prolonged the time to two days.  The letter indicates that subsequent 
proceedings were liable to be of a very interesting character.
