stand by tho Cattlemen.

The people of Elko county should
stand soidly by the catlemen in
their efforts to prevent the shipment
of diseased cattle into this State.
Should the barriers be broken down,
this county viii be overrun with in
fected cattle and the experience OF
four years ago, disastrous as it was,
will be as drop in the bucket to
what is very likely to occur.
Miller & Lux who have imme nse
herds in California under euaran-
tine are now negotiating for the lease
of the Murphy & Hill range in this
county for the pur pose of stocking it
with cattle from the quarantined dis
tricts. This firm has not now and
never had hoof of stock i'll this
county. They own immense ranges
in other sections of the State on
which they could turn their
diseased cattle without going t the
expense OF leasing a range in this
county. But to do this would sub
ject their healthy cattle now in this
State to the Texas fever which might
result in great loss to them. They
are very anxious to protect their own
interests at the expense of others, but
squirm like cells when those who
would suffer by the Wholesale ship
ment Of cattle from the quarantiued
districts Of California oppose such
shipments and demand the enforce
ment of the law. IL their cattle are
healthy, why do they not turn them
on their own ranges and among their
own cattle? Why should they at
this time be negotiating for the lease
of one Of the most extensive ranges
in this county? Their object is
plainly to be seen. They are willing
to ruin others If by 80 doing they can
save few dollars for themselves.
This is one phase OF this quaraD-
tine agitation that should not escape
the people Of this county. Upon the
defeat Of this scheme depends in a
great measure theirfuture prosperity.
Hence We say that che people should
stand solidly by tho cattlemen.

The. stookmen Aroused.

A very enthusiastic meeting of cat
tlemen and citizens of Elko was held
at the courthouse Wednesday night.
The meeting was called to order by
Hon. James Russell, ST.. President of
the Elko County Cattle Association,
who stated that the object of the
meeting was to protest against any
modification OF the quarantine regu-
lations now beng enforced against
the State of California.
Governor Sadler was present and
addressed the meeting. He expressed
himself as being in sympathy with
the cattlemen in their endeavor to
prevent the ranges of this State from
being overrun with diseased cattle.
The Governor left no doubt as to his
position in the matter.
A general interchange of views fol-
lowed which eliminated in the unan-
inous adoption of the following pre-
ambie and resolutions offered by
CuedT ICoulDdTL.
WHEREAS: Great efforts are be-
ing made to ship cattle from the
quarantined State of California into
Nevada, to be turned loose upon Ne
vada ranges, thus exposing our great
est industry to grave danger and SER
ious losses, by spreading the germs
throughout our ranges, therefore be
it
@REsoLvED, BY the stockmen Of
Elko county, that our State authori-
ties be requested and earnestly urged
not TO permit any cattle from quar-
antined State to be admitted into

On motion g copy Of the above pre-
amble and resolution, signed by the

xN1aHrs OF LABOR N cou1T,
Demurrer Filed to the Indictment
Of Local Members.

OF Local Members.
In anticipation of the early arraignment
of the local members Of the order of
knights of Labor who have been indicted
for conspiracy under the anti-trust law
the attorneys for the defendants, Ralston
and Siddons. yesterday filed demurrer
to the indictment.
The demurrer alleges that the indict-
ment is wrongly drawn, with view of
securing a conviction, If possible under
the antitrust law; that it does not charge
conspiracy in the restraint of trade, as
contemplated by the anti-trust law, nor
does 1t charge the formation of con-
spiracy to restrain trade; and lastly, 1t
does not set forth state of facts con-
stituting conspiracy. and is insufficient
and inadequate under the law.
1t is probable that the case Of Terence
v. Powderly against John w. Hayes. gen.
eral secretary-treasurer of the order of
the knights of Labor. will also come up
before Justice Cole today on motion to
vacate the judgment obtained by Powder
ly against the Knights of Labor in the
courts of Pennsylvania some years ago.
At meeting OF District Assembly No.
66 held last night the indictment of sew
eral of its members was the chief topic
Oh OlScuSSlOn. NO action was taken De-
cause of the fact that no day has been
appointed by the District for the arraign-
ment of the members charged with con-
spiracy. AS II is rumored, however. that
the case will be set for trial some time
during the present month. the meeting
last night adjourned to meet again tomor-
row evening, so that should any action be
taken by the district attorney today or
tomorrow. definite plans for the defense
of the indicted members can be formed.
AS2ther matter which is being con-
sidered in connection with the conspiracy
case is that two of the members of As
sembly No. &c, A. NJ Lawson and S. A.
Clements, are delegate and alternate. re-
spectively. TO the general assembly of
the knights of Labor, which convenes in
Chicago on Tuesday next, are among
those indicted. and in the event of the
case being set for trial next week 1t will
be necessary for them to be present. An
effort will be made to get definite infor-
nation on this point on Saturday, so that
II necessary. another delegate and alter
nate may be chosen.

Peculiar Case of Patrick Mahoney,
Crnzcd by Cigarettes.

Patrick Mahoney, the young man who
was by force put under treatment at the
Emergency Hospital for hysteria and con-
vulsions caused by excessive cigarette
smoking, was SO improved last night that
the hospital physicians permitted friends
to take him home.
Mahoney's case is a peculiar one. He
was brought to the hospital Wednesday
evening In a hysterical condition and
craving cigarettes. Commissions seized
him and his rawlings became SO violent
that 1t required the combined strength of
four men to hold him on his cot. Later
he had to be locked in the strong room
and remained there until liberated to go
home last night.
A brother Of the man stated at the hos
pital that Patrick was a cigarette hend.
The habit, he said, had recently been ac-
Quired and was abused. He stated that
