Being Taken in the DOtS0n
Murder Case.
THE JURY WAS SECURED
With Less Trouble Than Had Been
Observation-Disclosures on the
Stand This Morning.

A Jury in the Dotson murder case was
secured Saturday afternoon and the tes-
timony will begin to be taken today after
the opening statements by County Attor-
ney J.. H. Duffy. A jury was secured
after exhausting the regular panel, a spe-
c:al venire of 100 names, and nearly all
Of a second special venire of so names.
An exciting incident happened on Satur-
DAY when Counsel Self, for the defense,
objected to the special venire of so names
for the reason that certain names from
Washington gulch, Avon. Elliston, Bald
Butte, Helmville and Ovando had been
drawn from the jury box and laid aside
by the clerk Of the court and not used IN
the special venire. Mr.. Self was sworn
and gave testimony about the names be-
ing laid aside without consent Of the
counsel for the defense. The witness tes-
titled that in the first special venire of
100 names the defense consented. and the
names of residents of Helmville were laid
aside because Of the smallpox there.
Names Of residents of Washington gulch
went out because of probable prejudice,
the murder having been committed there.
Names of residents of Avon and other
localities We're put aside because they
llNeu III Il pO1 llolI VI liC SollIIl IN
could not be reached in time to make the
return at the hour prescribed. Names Of
residents of Bald Butte were thrown out
because they live in that strip now a
par. of Lewis and Clarke county. The
same was not true of the second venlre
Of sc names.
Deputy Clerk j. j. McCiuinness was
sworn and testified regarding the throw
ing out of names. He said it was dom
by order Of the court in the presence Of
ali tine parties and without objections
being made.
Judge Napton over"uled Counsel Sells

lands in Stutsmsn, Foster, Wells and

The fiosl transfer Of the property Was
not made, however, and the sale fell

the buyer was St. Cloud capitalist.
Since the sale fell through, suit has teen

MANY CATTLE DYING
Backlog is Causing the Death
OF Many Cattle Near
Medina.
Disease is Infectious and Cat.
tie Affected Live But
Short Time.
Efforts Are Being Made to
Prevent a Spread of the
Disease.

Blackleg is. causing the death of from
three to five cattle per day in the Vas
sau herd near Medina. The cattle last
but few hours after becoming affected.
The disease Is contagious and it seems
almost impossible to successfully core
with 1t. Cattle crossing troll or drink
ing from the same watering place where
animals afflicted with it have been, are
sure to become diseased it is said.
Veterinarian Moore has been at the
Nassau ranch for some days striving tc
prevent the disease from spreading to
other ranches. He has divided the af-
tiicted herd into groups and is expert
menting With vaccination ss prevents-
tive. So far the cattle treated in this
way have failed to become diseased.
The greatest difficulty found is in max
ing the ranchmen understand that their
herds should be properly inspected.
Some appear to treat the matter lightly
and do not believe in vaccination, or
that the disease 10 contagious.
About 600 cattle in the herd affected
we're brought from Manitoba some time
ago, and the lax methods OF the inspec.
tors who failed to inspect them when
brought across the border ie severely
criticised.
