Packard by GUS tom house officials while they were be- ing shipped to Kansas. Over 2,00O head were held by the government officials for reasons which were not di- vulged although they were subsequent ly released, upon the pavmeut by Mir. Packard of sum of money presum- ably duties A peculiar feature of the matter is that Mr Packard absolutely refused to receive the cattle upon their release and permitted them to be turn ed out at large without apparently taking any interest in them.
