the proceedings occurring 81 the time.
the president called upon anyone who
had auy matter to bri1g before the
convention, to do so at that time
Capt. Harmon responding TO the in
vitation desired to enquire why 1t was
that Eastern Montana had been de-
prived OF the services of q deputy vet
erinarian which be thought the large
stock interests ofthis section demanded
State veterinarian Holloway responded
by saying that on account Of the large
expenses incurred by DR.. Corcoran
who had 70 merly acted as his deputy
ia eastern Montana he had been
Obliged to dispense with his services.
Going into details he stated that while
DIR. Corcoran had reported from time
to time by letter the killing Of an ag-
greQate of 100 diseased horses, when
he made up a summary report the
number killed was only so, many OF
which he had learned had been killed
by the owners. These remarks carry
ing a. they did direct imputation Of
the veraeity of DR.. COrcoran, brought
that gentleman TO his feet iDs.anter,
and he replied quite sharply that the
statements made by DIR. Holloway
were untrue. DR.. Corcoran claimed
that he had at all times acted under
instructions from DIR. Holloway, which
were to do in a general way what be
saw WAS necessary to be dOae 90 extir-
nate disease. Toward the ending T
his employment DIR. Holloway had
written him to curb his expenses, and
only TO go out when necessary. Dr.
Corcoran mAintsined that the same
necessity existed for q deputy now -
before, that the glanders still exist and
in fact prevailed to an alarming extent.
With this statement of his side Of the
case DIR. Corcoran concluded and a
brief reioinder from DR.. Holloway re-
ofsirming his assertions closed the
discussion. 4The president then in
vited Harry Landers, stock inspector
At Minnesota Transfer, to tell what he
