That was the state of affars in Wyoming in 1884, when the Stock | Association was formed and the first mayerick law passed. Under the} provisions of that law, all mavericks found ou the round-up were sold by the foreman of each round-up dis trict to the highest bidder and the! proceeds of the sale went into a fund | of the Stock Association to pay for the stock detectives, ete. But it was further provided that the per son bidding must have $500 on de posit in some Wyoming bank and a certificate to that effect.
