The Texas Eeuar Case


The Texas fever clse was completed last
Saturday night and resulted in verdict
from the jury that Mr.. Boyd was guilty
and that his cattle were liable TO spread the
disease. This verdict was reached in fif-
teen minutes after the jury retired. aud
was In accordance with public sentiment
as well as the evidence submitted I'm the
case. The prosecution had good case
from the beginning, and worked every
point for all it was worth. The very wit
nesses on whom the defense relied to off
set the evidence for the prosecution, turned
ont TO be good witnesses for the state.
There appeared to be bat one lot of exist
ing facts: MIR. Boyd drove into the county
bunch of cattle that impaired the Texas
or Splenic fever to other herds, and from
this disease a number of cattle died. Other
herds may have passed through the co unity
that were infected, but no damage can be
traced to any other source than the Boyd
herd.
Monday morning Justice Hess oyerruled
a motion for new trial, made by the de-
tense, and entered up Judgment against
Mr.. Boyd. 1t was thai he pay a fine of
three hundred dollars and be imprisoned
in the county Jail for thirty days.
The case was appealed to. the district
court, and may come up for trial at the No
vember term.
Now that II has been clearly shown that
the Boyd he-d was responsible for the loss
Of cattle in this county, 1t Is hoped that
those citizens Of Harper who have so per-
sistently denied that the disease was fever
will do less talking and abusing our
officials and citizens for doing their duty.
At this particular time il is refreshing to
read the following extract from the Harper
Sentinel Of two weeks ago:
~Mr. J. Boyd was arrested and his cat
tie held last week by the sheriff of Barbcr
county on the charge Of bringing in cattle
diseased with Texasfever. The arrest is an
outrage rs Mr.. Boyd brought bunch of
cattle here last March and held them with
several different lots of cattle near Harper
and afterwards removed them to his rancl,
In Barber county. We have not heard OF
single head Of stock dying from Texas
fever on account of being her,led with his
cattle, and besides there were number OF
heavy frosts after he brought the cattle"

Tcvis & Proctor, who have been holding
sheep, near Sun City, have concluded to
change into the cattle, horse and mule bus
iness, and to that end they will ship out ev-
cry mutton they own and bring in a lot Of
about Thoroughbred ShOrthorns, which
they will breed from. They have also Sc
purchased Longfellow coli, thorough
bred. and fine jack, and will secare lot
mares to breed to these. They this week
purchased two other ranches adjoining
their own, the Worthington place and the
Hookstra place, which gives them three
miles OF water on Mulberry, one mile on
dry Mulberry and one mile on Cotton
wood, and all inside the Mulb berry Pool
fence. They have plenty of timber and
about as nice ranch property as any,
body in the county. They are convenient
to the agricultural region and anticipate
no difficulty in securing plenty of feed for
their fine stock. We wish them SUCCESS in
their new departure in the stock business
OF Barber county.

Last week we mentioned the death, near
Evansville, ola young man who was assist
ing Mr.. Burgess in Surveying part OF the
Strip. His name was Albert G. Stockwell,
and he was a son Of Prof Stockwell, well
known educator Of Cleveland, Ohio. The
dcceascd was Studying civil engineering
and to gain practical knowledge OF the
business he came out to spend his vacation
with Mr.. Burgess, an old friend Of the
family. lie was not we'll when he arrived
on the range, and continued to get worse,
until the 81 inst, when he died near Evans
VILE. lie was being taken to medical as
sistance. The remains were inferred at
Sun city, but will likely be removed this
winter to Cleveland.

The three members OF the city council,
McNeal, Oliver and Rouse who were 50
-frcshn last week in ordering ny REsoLU
TIoS special tax on property owners,
were badly mistaken In their authority.
No city tax en- be levied except by ordi-
nance, duly enacted and published. A res
o.ution on the subject Is worthless, and no
tax can be levied or collected by authority
Of a resolution alone. This may be a sur
prise to these wise solons, BIT Il Is no doubt
satisfactory to the tax payers. We knew
Of this last wceF, but refrLned from pub
fishing II until now. IL Is not likely an OF.
dinance ean be passed any time soon pro-
vidIng for the special tax, so we again alg-
gcst that the best way out Of this trouble is
to impose a fine OF fifteen dollars u month
ON the liquor sellers This will be more
satisfactory than to attempt to collect a
special tax. 1t Is not too hte to do this,
and Ehe eOuncihncn who have heretofore
proved 50 stubborn my As wen come to
this or admit that they are In favor d free
whisky.

not being complied with by the directors,
the lot turned their horses loose and left.
There WIS no difficulty in filling their po-
