Senator Warren Dodges Sheep Tax Claims in Wyoming
Senator Francis E. Warren again refuses to list his sheep for taxation in Wyoming. He initially listed 16,000 in Laramie County, later 39,000 after a demand by the state tax commissioner, far below his actual holdings. To punish Albany County Wyoming, he listed the remaining sheep in Colorado and Albany County. His agent Hiram Sapp presented an unsigned memorandum for 29,280 sheep, but would not sign or swear to it when asked by the county assessor.
