HANDED DOWN.
a Number OF Ruiingx by the Appellate
Court.


Court.
The appellate court of the northern
district of Illinois hos handed down
a number of important rulings per-
tanning to cases heretofore decided
in the Rock Island county circuit
court. -
Probably the most important case
was that of the city of Moline VS..
Rock Island county. The case is to
decide point which has never becn
clearly understood, viz: Who has
n right to appoint the township
overseer of the poor? The city
council of Moline appointed +. l..
Eastman to fill that position. and the
supervisors appointed l.. F. Kerns.
Eastman had filcd his bond. and not
being allowed to ill the position, he
brought suit against the county. and
this complicated matters in such a
way that the city of Moline was ut
last. made n party Ia the suit. The
Rock Island county circuit court de-
cided in favor of Moline, and the
case was appealed to the appellate
court, and with the result that that
tribunal has reversed the decision of
the lower cour.. and has remanded
the case for trial to the circuit court
again. the case now standing in favor
of the county.
Other Dect. -ons.
In the case of Alday vs.. Ken
worthy. the decision of the county
court was affirmed. The case grew
out of a refusal on the part of .Alday
to pay fees due kenworthy for legal
services.
The ruling ia the ease OF bunker
Us. Schlotfeldt was reversed and re-
manded for trial. The case was de
cided in the county court in favor of
bunker, the proceedings growing
out OF refusal on the part of the de-
fendant to pay note.

Report from the Northeast Extern

Report from the Northeast Extern
sion Of the Yarnell.
Geo. Barnard has recently returned
from the northeastern extension OF the
4arnell mine in which he is interested
with Charley Genung. He brought
with him four samples of ore selected
with the purpose of securing an average
value. He received the report of the
assayer yesterday which is q lite fiat
tering. They run as follows per ton ::
Sample No. /, SO cents silver, $500
gold, total 49, As; No. 2, q cents silver,
2.06 gold, total $2.33; No. 3, 81. SO silver,
$24.79 gold, total, $26.l5; No. 4, 70
cents silver, $l2 SO gold, total $13.1S.
The average value per ton is therefore
$l1,27A. Deducting one fourth for
milling leaves the net value of the ore
$S.45R. Before leaving the mine Mr..
Barnard made the remarkably close
guess that it would net 1915.
A mill running on similar ore brushes
three tons daily. Oak wood delivered
at the mine is worth So per cord. The
stage road crosses the claim and among
its other conveniences is strong and
never failing spring
The ore brought down by Mr.. Bar
nard was taken from vein Elk or seven
feet wide. Another on the claim is 20
feet in width. The formation is ira.
chyte and porphyry.
Mr.. Barnard says Mr.. Kerr is build
ing a road from Stanton to Weaver for
the removal OF his five-stamp mill to
the latter place. The mining outlook
in that locality is pleasing.
He says there is considerable com.
plant about the management of the
mail route be ,ween Antelope and Pres,
colt. Notwithstanding the terrible
character OF the mountain road each
horse on the route Is driven distance
OF fifty miles day, an arrangement,
which beside the intliction OF heartless
cruelty upon the animals results IN fire.

ALL ABOUT BOTS.
Usually They Do Not Seriously Affect the
Health of Horses.

Usually They Do Not Seriously Affect the
Health of Horses.
The common CAD fly (gastrophilus
equi) attacks the animal while grazing
late in the summer. its object being,
not to derive sustenance, but deposit
its eggs. This is accomplished by means.
of glutinous excretion, causing the
ova TO adhere to the hair. The parts
selected are chiefly those of the shout
ders, base of the neck, and inner parts
of the fore legs, especially about the
knees, for in these situations the horse
will have no difficulty in reaching the
ova with its tongue. When the animal
ticks those parts of the coat where the
eggs have been placed the moisture of
the tongue, aided by warmth, matches
the ova, and in something less than
three weeks from the time of the depo-
sition of eggs the Larvae have made
their escape. AS maggots they are
next transferred to the mouth and ulti;
mately to the stomach along with food
and drink.
A great many larvae perish during
this passive mode Of immigration, some
being dropped from the mouth and
others being crushed in the fodder dur
ing mastication. 1t has been calculated
that of the many hundreds of eggs de-
posted on a single horse scarcely one
out of fifty of the larvae arrives within
the stomach. Notwithstanding this
waste the interior of the stomach may
become completely covered with bots.
Whether there be few or many they
are anchored in this situation chiefly
by means of two large cephalic hooks.
After the bots have attained perfect
growth they voluntarily loosen their
hold and allow themselves to be car
ried along the alimentary canal until
they escape with the feces. In all
cases they sooner or later fall to the
ground, and when transferred to the
soil they bury themselves beneath the
surface in order to undergo transforms
ton into the pupa condition. Having
remained in the earth for period OF
six or seven weeks they finally emerge
from their pupal cocoons as perfect
winged insects-gadtlies. 1t thus ap-
pears that bots ordinarily pass about
eight months of their lifetime in the
digestive organs of the horse.
According to Prof. Kitchener, bots
seldom-not more than one in ten thou.
sand times-cause collie. They may,
when present in large numbers, slightly
interfere with digestion, but beyond
this they are, with these few excep-
tions, entirely harmless. 1t is entirely
useless to attempt to dislodge them
from the stomach, and they will go at
their appointed time, which is mostly
during the months of May and June.

A HAIR PULLING.
Not of the Prevailing American
Style,
But Each Contestant Pulled ills
Own According to the Custom
Among the Chinese.

Chinatown was the scene OF blood
less, but nevertheless desperate en-
counter night before last. The par
Elephants were All Loo and Hop Sing,
and the cause was dispute about a
sum OF money invested in the perilous
venture of "fan tam" There were few
preliminary remarks and for q wonder
no knives, but the way those Celes tials
mixed themselves was calculated to
confuse American pugilists. Each
threw his pigtail around the neck OF
his opponent and tried to strangle him.
Neither succeeded, however, in prop
erly lassooing the other, that is, each
failed to entirely encircle the throat OF
the other, in which case strangulation
would certainly have resulted. As it
was, the queue was only thrown over
the neck OF the fighters and though
they pulled vigorously, each only sue
ceeded in nearly pulling his own hair
out by the roots.
Ten minutes of this sort OF exercise
was calculated to restore peace even II
it failed to bring good nature with ii
and the ownership OF that harmony
disturbing bet will remain undecided
until sometime when All Loo and Hop
Sing meet properly equipped with
knives.
