| CATTLEMEN TI'K.V TO M M'L.W IN I KiHT OVER W.ATE RHODES ItrouOi Has Intensified Xnclent Enrnity iletween Cow and Sh«M‘p Men. PIERRE, S. D„ 'UP' The wihl west is roaring again witli gun battles over grazing land and water holes. In three months three men died I violent deaths and several were | wounded as the drouth intensified the natural animosity between sheep men ! and cattle men, whose herds starve ! to death in the wake of the close | ei opping sheep. No longer is it just a battle beI tween individuals, however. Civilizaj lion has overflowed the frontier and bands of the law clamped down on a | dozen warring westerners. Five men j got three year sentences and heavy lines. One man is under indictment for murder, one on a charge of shooting to kill, and others await indictment. Of the five sheepmen sentenced in Muttc county, the prosecution claimed they tied Paul Longpre, cowboy of the Dave Kinghom ranch, to a horse’s tail with a lasso and dragged him through cactus beds and over
stones. The sheepmen, Marcus, Henry and A. J. Comes, together with William and Howard Schmcle, charged that Longpre let water out of their dam. In a grazing land dispute on the prairie north of the Black Hills, Jean ’’haris, 25, graduate of South Dakota State college in 103,'l, was shot fatally this fall. Pharis and his father, Emmett, sheep herders, were accused by William and Francis Jordon. brothers, of grazing sheep on the Jordon land. It is claimed that the five were on horseback when Francis Jordon opened fire. Joan Pharis whipped out a .32 Colt automatic and William Jordan began pumping a .22 calber rifle. When the dust, kicked up by frantic horses, cleared, Jean Pharis lay dead with three bullet holes in his cl est, his father was wounded in the knee, and William Jordon's right forearm was shattered. Francis Jordon is charged with murder and W'illiam with shooting to kill. The brothers brought counter charges against Emmett. Five days after Piiaris died, W’illiam Darg, 66 father of eight chilIren, was killed in a gun fight. Darg had been farming a tract of land belonging to a non-resident. Victor
York, 50, claimed a lease on
farm. |
On the day of the killing. York and
his >ufe Cleo, called at the Darg,
farm. Darg ami a neighbor, James
Hait.'i, retumed to find Darg's wife 1
beaten and bruised. Darg and Hales sped fm the York ranch. In the en-
suing arguments Darg was felled by
a i itiiifork. Darg pulled out an oldfashioned pistol. York opened fire
with an automatic. Eight bullets
lodged in Hales' automobile between
the combatants.
As Darg started away on foot, York dashed to a haystack, grabbed a .22 caliber rifle and fired. Darg slumped to the ground with a fatal wound through his kidney. The third death occurred in a free-tor-all knife fight near Belle Fourche. Leonard Belcher, of Vale, was acquitted of murder in the killing of Joe Vaill, Mexican, on a plea of self-de-
fense
