12/15/09 Grif.Net – Cattlemen v Sheepherders

In northern Wyoming there was a huge battle between cattle barons and
sheepherders in the Johnson County War. Sheep were shot, fences put up on
the vast cattle ranches ripped down.

Finally the leading sheepherder Clare D. Lune hired two Chinese immigrants
(Lu Chim and Wu Ni) and together they ambushed the leading cattlemen,
hanging them in traditional Wyoming fashion.

The newspaper reported, “The stock kings were hung by Chim & Ni, with Clare”
