cure a pig. which he had purchased.
While attempting to get the animal out
of the pen he was surprised by large
hog in the same pen, which, after
knocking him down, grabbed him by
the throat and face and hung on with
the tenacity of a bulldog. At the first
snap of the infuriated brute's jaws,
they craunched through the PROSTATE
mans face and jaw, breaking the plate
OF his false teeth, a part of which he
swallowed. Although suffering from
numerous wounds in the face and neck
and almost choked from the obstacle in
his throat, he managed to secure
small stick which with great exertion
he managed to place between the ami
mails jaws, which he succeeded in pry-
but the old man made his escape and
reached his home but a short distance
away. After reaching his house he dis
covered that he could not talk with the
broken plate in his throat and he was
obliged to write short explanation of
the case. DR.. Mcdonald was at once
called and soon removed the piece from
Mr.. Robbins throat, after which he was
able to relate his story. Upon making
an examination 1t was found that he
had received eighteen or twenty bites
on the face and neck. making 1t ex-
tremely serious If not fatal.

Decision That Cattle shippers Must obey
Orders of Sanitary Boards.

Orders of Sanitary Boards.
&opeka, Kan, June 1.--tSpecial)-
The question of admitting cattle 10
Kansas from territories outside OF fhc
districts covered by the government
quarantine regulations has been receiv-
ing considerable attention among the
cattlemen and those interested in the
business in this state during the past
three months. Many cattle had been
admitted that failed to secure proper
permits. To guard against any infec-
ton from cattle coming from suspected
districts the State Live Stock Sanitary
Commission added an amendment to
the quarantine regulations providing
that duly appointed and qualified in
spectors be stationed at points to be
selected by the commission and inspect
all cattle destined for Kansas In con-
tormity with the new regulation the
clmmission appointed DIR. S. C. Free
land OF Marion as an inspector and sta
toned him at Quannah, Tex. DR. Geo
:. Pritchard Of Topeka, was appointed
and stationed at albuquerque. n. NJ
The inspectors were instructed to make
careful examinations of the cattle and
to Charge cents per head for so doing
The right of the board to make the
appointments was unquestioned. but
some of the shippers objected to paying
the fees and declared that such charges
were illegal.
II, u.
w johnson of Hamilton, asked the At
torney General for an opinion in the
matter. Mr., Dawes holds that Ii is
wholly legal and further that the com
mission has the right to make such
arrangements to protect the cattle in
1ustry and interests of this state and
| make the amendments binding until
congress passes such laws as will reg
ulate the matter. The decision fol-
lows closely that Of Justice Miller of the
United States Supreme Court reported
In lis United States. The case was
from New Orleans and a steamship
company was fighting the payment of
a similar fee. The case was decided
May 10. 1886. The case thus decided
is the only one of the kind recorded
with reference to such questions in the
Uunited States supreme court, but the
questions involved in that decision are
very similar to that raised by those op-
posed to the payment of the cents per
head fee.
