E. Camp- bell, T. F. Pryor and W.S. Snow. The address is as follows: TO TEXAS CATTLE DROVERS. _ An Address to the Texas Cattle Drovers from the Southweslern Kansas and Indian Territory Stock Association. At a meeting of the above named Association, held in the City of Caldwell, on the 1st and 2nd days of March, 1882, the follow- ing resolution, adopted at its meeting in March, 1881, was re- affirmed, and the undersigned appointed a committee to publish a Suitable address in accordance therewith: Resolved. That in order to prevent the spread of disease among the wintered cattle held on the Cherokee Strip, there ought to be established, and rigidly maintained, a proper line of separation and quarantine between through cattle and said winterd cat- tle; and that this convention recommend the establishment and “Iaintenance of the following quarantine line, and request the active co-operation of the Cherokee Council and all stockmen driving through cattle into the Cherokee Strip, in maintaining said line. Osage Creek shall be the western boundary for through cattle ; a line running east from Osage Creek, parallel with the northern boundary of the Nez Perces reservation, shall be the southern boundary for through cattle; the Arkansas River will be the eastern boundary for through cattle, and the State of Kansas shall be the northern boundary. The undersigned, after careful consideration of the subject, do not deem any formal address necessary at this time, believing that every cattleman who will drive from Texas this year fully understands the situation of the cattle interests in the Territory 36 Proceedings Cherokee Strip. SSS and on the boundaries of Kansas, and will, so far as he can, use all due care to comply with the request of this Association, and respect the rights of those holding wintered and domestic cattle in the Territory. The Association feel satisfied that the country selected asa holding ground for through cattle is of sufficient scope to fur- nish ample grazing ‘for all cattle that may be driven to the Caldwell and Hunnewell markets. We would also state that the grounds selected are well adapted for grazing purposes, having a reasonable amount of timber. abundance of water, and are within easy reach of the stock yards at both Caldwell and Hunnewell. Further than stating the above facts, we do not believe it nec- essary to dwell at length on this subject, feeling assured that our through cattle friends will fully appreciate the spirit in which the above resolution was adopted and this address put forth. In conclusion, we assure all driying to the above named markets that the members of our Association will do all in their power to make their sojourn among us both pleasant and profit- able. Respectfully, W. E. CAMPBELL, Te. LER MOR. Committee. Ww. S. SNOW, AFTERNOON SESSION. Convention called to order at 2 p.

Day’s ranch; said division to meet at Caldwell or the Chisholm trail crossing of the North Canadian river, and H. W. Timberlake to be appointed captain of said di- vision ; the day of meeting to be decided upon in the same man- ner as the other divisions. And we recommend that the captains of above divisions be authorized to subdivide their respective divisions in such man- ner as they deem advisable, and appoint captains for such sub- divisions, but to retain absolute control of the same. We recommend that the following named gentlemen, viz: -Maj..A. Drumm, M, K Krider, Oliver Ewell, H. W. Timberlake, C. H. Manning and John A.

M. Hewins offered the following resolution, which was read and adopted without a dissenting voice : Resowed, That itis the sense of the stockmen and ranchmen of this Association, that the six-shooter is not an absolute ne- cessity and necessary adjunct to the outfits of cowboys working on the ranges of the Cherokee Strip, and that we deprecate its use, except in extreme cases of necessity while on duty in pro- tecting the rights of property against Indians and outlaws; but we deprecate the carrying of six-shooters in all cases while vis- iting the towns along the border. On motion adjourned, subject to the call of the President. + a oe. BRANDS OF THE beuidwestera Cattle Growers ASSOCIATION, MEDICINE LODGE, KANSAS, March 17 & 18, 1882.

P. Ewine, The following resolutions were passed : Resolved, That all cows and calves be removed from the herd before cutting out the steers. Resolved, That no herds be cut out and driven off the ranges without first having been inspected for strays. Resolved, That we, members of the Cattle Growers’ Association of the Southwest, do not think it just or our duty to goto the expense of gathering up all cattle held by parties within the jurisdiction of this Association other than those who have per- manent ranches and co-operate with us. Resolved, That we, the Cattle Growers of the Southwest, in con- vention assembled, do condemn the practice of turning cattle loose on the range without any effort to herd or take care of the same, and the practice of taking cattle on hire, where such in- erease of stock would infringe on the rights of adjoining cattle- men, as conduct unworthy any honorable cattleman. Resolved, That all calves shall be branded in the marks of their dams when found on ranges not their own, and the same report- ed and published in the county papers. Mr, Kirk moved that the present officers of the Association be made the Finance Committee on Brand Book. Motion prevailed.
