Victory for Labor in State Workmen’s Compensation Vote
The county reports a decisive victory for the labor movement as the constitutional amendment establishing a Workmen’s Compensation Act passed by more than the required margin. Supporters hail the win as a step toward stronger protections, though the law will only take effect after the next legislative session.

Trespass Decision Reversed in Sheep Range Case
The Uinta Development Company of Wyoming lost a trespass suit as Judge Riner ruled against sheepmen driving flocks over Union Pacific land. The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St Louis reversed, saying the railroad grant act allowed passage to reach the public domain, benefiting sheepmen near the original grant. Bernard J. Stewart, counsel for defendants, hailed the ruling as vital to area sheepmen.
