European loot and mouth disease, and is
not a contagious disease. They claim to
have sufficient evidence to establish these
facts beyond q reasonable doubt, and a
partial report is in course of preparation

Good ENOUGH.

Justice Fletcher has turned over to the
county during the past three days 500
in the way of tines collected from
whisky dealers, all Of which wss
obtained without q cent Of cost to the
county. But the best Of it is that one
OF the largest saloons in the city has
been closed, and in all cases where par
ties have pleaded guilty addi-
tional counts are held over
the offenders, and will be
pushed in case of continuance of the
traffic. The prosecutions have been
sweeping, and the onslaught has been of
character to warn the violators OF the
law that the officers mean business. No
respect has been paid to persons, and
the war on the liquor element looks
more now as If it were one of extermin-
alton than at any time in the psst. Let
the troops march on.
