Removing Sheep From New Mexico.

Probably the thousands of head of
sheep that have fed for years OH the
ranges of New Mexico will be moved
away, some of them never to be taken
back. In most parts of the territory
where sheep are permitted to Craze no
rain has fallen for months. the creeks
are dry and there is not sufficient feed
to sustain the animals. Sheep men
find 1t Improbable to move them every
year to places where there Is grass.

Inoculation of cattle against the
deadly effects of the ticks Is the sub
ject which Is now engaging the atten-

1.-THE incubation of the human being
against smallpox Is only one of the
many ways in which incubation can
be successfully used" says DR.. Book.
| Southern cattle are inoculated by ma
ture, as the trouble is in their systems
in Il moderate quantity and prevents
the attacks of the ticks from proving
fatal. But when tick infested cattle
come north. the cattle here which catch
the disease from them die In very
short time. Cattle sent from the north
to the south die of the disease.

Judge Stewart GIves Point on Which He
Bases Decision OF Removal.
Wallace. Idaho, July 1O.-In deciding
the removal cases to-day Judge Stew
art found that the commissioners We're
guilty of willful misconduct in allow
ing bills to the sheriff In excess of the
lawful fees: in allowing Il percentage
for collecting licenses; in issuing sa-
loon licenses without an application or
bond: in approving the bonds Of county
officers with insufficient sureties and in
failing to take action when notified of
the probable destruction of property ut
Wnrdner.
For these he held them guilty of neg
lect, sufficient to Justify removal. In
the case of the sheriff he said "the de-
fendant by his own testimony has con-
victed himself of the most fragrant
violation of official duty" The defense
gave notice of appeal.
Acting County Attorney Forney to-
day opened the case against Paul Cor
coran. who is on trial for the murder
of Cheyne. at Wardner. April Goth. De-
fense objected to taking testimony in
the case. alleging that under martial
law the defendant would be robbed
of his rights, as the court could not
enforce its processes. Judge Stewart
Young was called. The prosecution
asked him how long he had lived here.
Young said:
"Fll decline to answer any more ques-
tions, as | am under arrest without
any charge being made against me,
and my answers might affect me pre-
judicially."
Judge Stewart ruled that Young
must answer. which he did. Thomas
Ames was the next witness. He was
n member of the Wardncr Union. hav-
ing Joined one year ago: he worked In
the Bunker Hill mine twenty-five
months. Ne was notified of n meeting
to be held Saturday morning. April
10Th. Union men were rushing about
getting ready to go down to meet the
train mt II o'clock on that date. Wit
ness did not learn who was coming on
the train nor for what purpose. Union
men were carrying bundles done up In
newspapers. but witness did not ex-
anime the bundles.

The New Reservoir Law Defined.

The new reservoir law operative on
the public domain FOR the benefit OF
stockmen needs further explanation
that all may the better understand It.
The title OF the act provides for loca.
ton and purchase OF public lands for
reservoir sites. This cannot bc .hc
correct construction of the law. for the
reason that the law makes no pro.
vision for the sale of any lands. hence.
we can only apply its provisions to the
right of constructing and maintaining
public reservoirs in the nature OF a
permit. The law contcmplntcs n right
to construct reservoirs for storing or
holding water for one purpose only.
and that Is TO water live stock upon
unoccupicd and unappropriatcd public
domain.
The provisions of the law are no
doubt merely applicable to the arid
sections of the country and not to 10.
cnlities where there are running
streams. or where stock at large can
have access to water. We must have
in mind, In placing construction upon
the law, the evident intent of the
trainers thereof. and the proper con.
struction would develop the fact that
no one Individual can possibly require
the construction of a reservoir upon
eltn Ol tne uuuTleT S'tllonS. Inc
trainers of the act did not intend that
the public domain should he taken In
such n manner. MS Il might soon he
rloudcd with thousands of such filings
for speculative purposes. as hns al.
ready been done in Nebraska and Kan.
| sIS.
From the fact that the law provides
that no reservoir shall he fenced from
the use and benefit of any person or
persons who may have animals To
| water Mt such reservoirs. II Is evident.
| II the trainers Of the law had intend
cd or contemplated that an individual
making n filing should have the righ,
to exclusive use of such reservoir so
constructed, they would have go ex.
pressed such fact In the act. The
reservoir must be for the public. and
| no Individual company or corporation
| Is to have Il patent for It. Hence,
