EMroRrA, Kan, Dec. 1G.-The jury
in the Texas fever cattle case re-
turned verdict of $4,000 against
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas road
for haying last May carried for Hosier
Bros. 23OO head of Texas cattle from
Midland, Tex, to Hartford, Kan,
from the importation of which Texas
fever was communicated to Kansas
cattle with disastrous results. The
question of law at issue in the case is
vital one to transportation lines and
stockmen, and is one which has never
been decided by the United States SUI
preme court. The supreme court has
held that the Missouri law prohibit
ing transportation lines from carrying
Texas cattle is void and that tho Iowa
law making the owners Of cattle com
municating disease responsible is
valid. In this case, however,
the Kansas 1.-Two stock sanitary
commission had issued permit
for the cattle and the road had
complied with all tine state and ma
tional quarantine laws, so that max
ing the road liable under the circum-
stances is new departure.

his egregious blunder and set the
administration in better light before
the multitude of silver advocates in

political dodge. and although Grover is
