Mr.. Shepherd sought to recover
$S5S. He claimed that Mcintyre
agreed to sell him 1920 bushels of
wheat at 81 IL a bushel, but that
on the day on which he had agreed
to deliver the wheat, he refused to
do so; and wheat having advanced
then to Sl.50 a bushel the plaintiff
sued to recover the difference be-
tween the two price.
The agreement was made by
Samuel NJ. Reynolds, an agent, who
drove over to NcIntyre's place May

offer of Sill per bushel and said
he would deliver the wheat the
following Monday, which he failed
to do, hence the suit.-Appeal.

CATTLE BILLS OF SALE.
They Are Required for Animals to b
Slaughtered.

Solicitor General E. L. Bartlett has
written as follows to Secretary j. A.
La Rue, of the cattle sanitary board :
Your favor of the 6th, inclosing a
letter from Inspector Hendricks, with
reference to the necessity of beef con-
tractors furnishing bills of sale to In
diam agents for cattle furnished them
under contract for the use Of the In
dians, and asking if there Is any terri
torial law requiring such bills Of sale, is
received, and it has my attention, and
in reply would say: That sections IS to
7s inclusive, Compiled Laws, amply
cover the ground, this being an old law
found as sections "a to 70, Compiled
Laws OF 1884, as amended by chapter 6,
section Is, Session Laws of 1895, and
section Z, chapter So, Session Laws OF
1898. The first subdivision Of section 75
requires the bill of sale where such
stock or any part thereof Is to be ship
ped from the territory or Slaughtered
by the purchaser" Section rs provides
penalty for any violation Of section
rs by fine and Imprisonment. 1t will
be observed that this section 75 limits
the cases where bill of sale is required
to three classes, while section 119, being
chapter 6, section Is, of the Session
Laws of 1895, makes it applicable to all
classes Of animals and all sales. The
necessity for bill Of sale for animals
to be slaughtered is equally great with
that for animals to be shipped out Of
the territory, and should be required by
the inspector in every instance, and VIC
lators of the section should be promptly
prosecuted"

Frankfort, KY, December 9.-This

The official figures filed with Secre-

Goebel, 191, ,331; Taylor's plurality, 1888
This operation, which ended, for the
time being at least, the bitterly fought
gubernatorial contest, was conducted in
the simplest manner.
The majority opinion by Commission
ers Pryor and Ellis, and the minority
opinion of Commissioner Poyntz, were
not read, as was the original intention.
The three commissioners walked first to
the office of the clerk of the state su-
preme court, where they filed the two

Chenault, of the board of commission
ers, read the figures showing that Re-

Commissioner Ellis upon whose shoul-
ders the greatest part of the work of
preparing the opinion has fallen, dis
cussed the matter freely.
This has been a hard thing for me,
he said. 1T has been a hard thing for
all of us. l wish, however, that all the
people of the country should know how
nobly Judge Pryor acted in this matter,
and how conscientiously he has done
what he considered his duty He is a
great man; one of the greatest, in my
opinion, Kentucky has ever produced.
Speaking for myself, 1 say frankly did
not like to do this thing, but under the
law and evidence there is nothing else

Commissioner PoyntZ declined to sign
the Republican certificates Of election,
saying he could not consistently do So
He consented to sign certificates for the

The court held that all ballots should

The opinion of the court comes too late
