Caaper, Natrona Co., Wyo., Tburaday, June 16, 1892. NO. 5. RESOUUTIONS ADOPTED THE CITIZENS OF GASPER AND NATRONA COUNTY- Whbrka«: On the lOth day of laat April, an armed force was introduced into thia alate, b) membere of th* Wyoming Stock Grower’a Aaaociatioii, and the Board of Stock Commi88ion,in direct violarionof onr State conatitntioniand Whereas, Said armed force proceeded to JohoRon county and there murdered two of our citizens in cold blood and burnt their homes and endeavored to intimidate and drive frera their homes, other Ijona fidt settlers of this state and destroy their property: and Whereas, All appeals to the state authorities were of no avail: and Whereas, An appeal of said invaders was promptly responded to, and Federal troops Bent to their assisUnce: and Whereas, ^he agents of said invaders have succeeded in spiriting out of this gUle the only eye witnesses to • the murder and arson committed: and WiiKKKAs, We believe that at thia time a movement is on foot, by our highest officials, to declare martial law in said Johnson county with a view to furnish desperadoes and cut-throats, with United Sutes marshal's oomraiesions, in order to consummate the thorough desolation of that portion of our stole by that means, having failed in their purpose by the overt act of invasion: and Whereas.' It has come to this in Wyoming: Shall the public land of the United States be reserved for the act­ ual settler, and shall he be protected in hia settlement upon said lands, or shall large cattle associations monopolize said lands, trampling upon the rights of the settlers. Now, therefore, be it Resolved: That we, the citizens of Uasper, Natrona county, in mass meeting assembled, do uncompromisingly denounce the action of the .said members of said Stock Grower’s Association and Board of Stock Commission, the action of the high oflici.iis of the state in eouiitciianciiig and defending an unwarranted violation of our constitution by allowing, unhindered, said armed force to invade our state, kill our citizens, burn our homes and destroy aud confiscate our property, and ‘ Resolved: That we deem the attempt to declare martial law in a peaceable and law abiding community, an an- . warranted injustice and contempt for our institutions, and therefore • Resolved: That we appeal to our president and both bouses of congress, that a commission be immediately ap­ pointed to enquire into the present difficulties in our state with a view to adjusting the same, and Resolved: That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the lion. Dan Voorhees, Senator from Indiana, to the Hon. C. W. Stone, of Pennsylvania, and Hon. Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, with a request that they ask congress to inquire into the contemplated declaration ot martial law in the State of Wyoming; By what warrant or authority of law state prisoners are held by Federal troops and to ask for all correspondence between the Governor of Wyoming and the War Department in regard to calling out Federal troops to suppress a state affair when the state had competent militia, and, the promiscuous issuing of Deputy United States Marshal’s commissions.
