Stock sfan Tells How it Was.

The fight over the Mexican cattle al
Eureka an account of which was given
in the Eagle several days ago. has been
settled in favor Of the farmers and the
whole train load of Mexican cattle will
pull out Of Eureka today and be ship
ped back from whence they came or al
any rate out Of Kansas.
L. w. Robinson OF Robinson Bros
was at the Union stock yards yester-
day and he says the farmers have won
their fight after siege of several
weeks
The farmers around Eureka believe
that II these Mexican cattle were al
lowed 10 run on the range there that
all the native cattle were liable to die
OF Spanish fever and they determined
that the Mexican cattle must go.
The United States inspectors passed
the Mexican cattle all right, but the
farmers threatened vengence on the
Mexican cattle, and the Kansas inspec-
tors went TO Eureka and quarantined
the whole train load of cattle pending
an investigation.
The Mexican cattle were billed to
Craig & Mann. but the stockmen
around Eureka claimed to have infor-
nation that the cattle belonged to
The Standard oil company, and that
they We're billed TO local parties TO pre-
vent suspicion thar they were quar-
antined cattle.
The report that the United States
inspectors had passed the cattle only
increased the Indignation said Mr..
Robinson, and if the Kansas board
mad not interfered there might have
oeen serious trouble. for l tell you the
farmers were w in arms.
The farmers in that section raise
good many cattle and when somebody
brings in a train load Of almost worth
less Mexican cattle that are liable TO
cause the death Of all the native cattle
IN the neighborhood it becomes a pretty
serious matter.
This Is case wherein the rule OF
the survival Of the fittest does not APP
ply FOR these Mexican cattle will give
the native cattle deadly disease call
ed Spanish or Texas fever while the
Mexican cattle will remain apparently
healthy and grow fat on the rich past
ures from which they have driven our
line native cattle.
The Kansas inspectors have inves-
tigated the matter thoroughly and they
are certain that the bringing of these
cattle INTO this state was in violation of
that the cattle viii be loaded up to-
morrow and shipped out of the state
l feel sorry for the men who shipped
the cattle in because if they are obliged
&c ship them back to Old Mexico it will
be wonderful loss which will equal
nearly If not quite the whole original
cost of the cattle.
They are thin 2-year-olds and while
i 40 not know what such cattle are
worth in Old Mexico 1 very much doubt
II they are worth more than the freight
up here and back
The shippers and stoCkmen at the
yards yesterday seemed to be highly
pleased over the result of the contest at
Eureka. because no mans herd would
be safe if these Mexican cattle were al
lowed TO be brought in here at all sea-
sons Of the year.
The opinion seems to prevail among
stock men that cattle as we'll as hogs
In southern Kansas are peculiarly
healthy and that it is important that
they guard against the Diseased stock
being shipped in.

One morning bright and early whe

One morning bright and early when
nobody, he thought, would notice him,
he stepped over the line and took a
bath. The law is always vigilent and
one of it's minionS saw Mr.. Randolph
leaving it. The result was that the
bondsmen were sued and judgment
rendered against them for about $40
which was the amount owing to the
creditor who had him arrested. The
bondsmen took an appeal to the SUI
preme court and, as stated, the case
has been hanging fire ever since.
Bondsman Hickman is now dead and
the case has been postponed for the
purpose of giving his attorneys time
to make his heirs parties to the suit.

CADETS TO DRILL AT TYBEE.
A Sham Battle en- the Beach and
Among the Sand Hills.


The Savannah Cadets will spend an af-
ternoon at Tybee next week. They will
go down Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock
and will fight a sham battle on the beach
and among the sand hills around the Ho-
tel Tybee.
The battle, militarily speaking, will be
a sk.rmish drill, or, as it is known under
the new tactics, the extended order
drill, the same as that which was given
in the parade ground on the anniversary
of Oglethorpe Light Infantry, two weeks
ago.
The drill will start on the beach just
north of the hotel and will continue down
the beach and among the sand hills in that
vicinity.
There is a good deal of interest in these
drills. That in the parade ground two
weeks ago was witnessed by crowds of peo-
pie. The drill at Tybee will be even more
interesting, because of the place where
it will take place affording better oppor-
tunity for the company to maneuver as
if in actual service.
The entire drill can be seen from the
hotel pavilion and balconies. After the
drill the company will take supper at the
hotel. and in the evening will be given a
complimentary hop.
