 Whereas, Chas. II. Shannon, the cat

 for formal inspection of said cattle,
 against the protest of sad Geo. Pusch.
 and
 Whereas, We believe said charge to | be not warranted by the spirit and in- tent of the law, and Es We are informed IS in violation the instructions of the

 Mexico at DemIng has repeatedly used | this pos. ton in similar cases heretofore
 to eItort money from shippers of beef
 cattle cuusigued to Kansas City from | localities known to sAid inspector to be
 entirely healthy. and
 Whereas, The inspectors for ArizOns
 make uo charges. under laws similar to | sh,.s.. .F N.rrr MaNEu4s Far sl.a .,s. | Of beef cattle consigned to points be- yOnd the territory of Arizona, and Whereas, We are unreservedly in favor of the most rigid laws and the most technical enforcement of sll stat
 utes intended to protect range cattle l from infections diseases. aud inRsmuch
 6s the perversiOn of these laws in the
 man ner stated above is a blow al the
 cattle industry of the country and a damage iO all interests save the personal advantage ot the inspector, therefore be IL
