by Veterinary Surgeon Neff, the two io-

that it was not necessary to go through

their employees, and the indications all
pointed to spirited encounter, for both
Dockery and Davis said they would have

However, 1T was not necessary. While
they were discussing the matter Davis
opened the gate, the vaqueros rode in,
drove the cows out of the inclosure before
they could be intercepted and took them
to Butchertown, where they now are.
They Will all be slaughtered to-day.
The officers are very much incensed that
they should meet with such opposition in
the discharge OF their duty, especially, as
they say, after having given the firm more
than the benefit OF every right which the
law allows.
This is the statement of the case as given
by the officers of the board.
On the other hand the dairymen declare
that the young bull killed was free from
any sign of disease, and they declare they
will take the matter to court.
This conclusion was reached at an in
formal meeting of the Dairymen's Asso-
citation yesterday afternoon.
They believe that the health authorities
have exceeded their authority, and a test
case will be made by enjoining the officials
from slaughtering any more stock by way
of an experiment..
The views of the Dairymen's Associa-
ton may be set forth by the remarks of
John d. DAILY, who said last night: THE
dairymen do not object to Mr.. Dockery
condemning diseased milch cows or
destroying impure milk. On the con-
trary, every right man in the
business-and am safe in SAYING that the
men who have invested their money in
the dairy business are respectable citi-
zens-are in favor of supplying their
customers with good pure milk.

Frank took the bet and the weighing
