IMPORTANT TO CATTLEMEN.
Decision Handed Down by Federal
Appellate Court mt ST. Louis.

ST. LOUIS. Nov. ia decision of the
firms and cattlemen generally was handed
down to-day by the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals In the case of Evans,
Snyder Buel & Co. vs. w. Z. McFadden
ct al A large per cent. of the cattle bust
ness carried on in the Southwest is done
sion firms in ST. Louis, Kansas City and
Chicago, which is secured by mortgages
on live stock purchased. The decision
sets forth clearly the rights of the mort
gageor in transactions of this kind, COM
pared with owners of old claims or judg-
ments against the mortgage.
The record in the case shows that in
June, 1885, the Evans-Snyder-B Com
pany advanced John r. Blocker, of Bexar
county, Texas, $4,000 and took two deeds
OF trust, covering 6,775 head OF cattle in
1896. William McFadden IL Son commenced
suit by attachment against Blocker for
judgment for $55,S75, which the attaching
creditors had recovered against Blocker
in Jefferson county, Texas, in May, 1887.
In July. 1896, the Snyder Buel COM
psny gave bond as interpleader for $780,
900 and retained possession of the cattle.
In January, 1897, judgment by default was
rendered against Blocker Subsequently
the issue arising on the interplea was
twice tried, and resulted in each case I'm a
verdict in favor of the tnterpleader, which
judgments were, however, reversed on APP
peal by the Indian Territory Appellate
Court. The majority decision by Judge
Thayer says: I'VE prefer to rest our de-
cision on the ground that the act of Con-
gress operated to validate the interplead-
crS mortgage"

NO AK FOR JOHNSON MEN.
Mr. Watson Defines His Position Re-
garding POstOfiices Appointees.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
RUSHVILLE, Ind, Nov. 19.-An Indian
apolis afternoon paper, Saturday published
a special from Anderson to the effect that
Representative James Z. Watson intended
10 make a clean sweep of the postofices of
the district and dispose of the appointees
of Henry U. Johnson in particular. The
publication has caused some talk among
the postmasters and Mr. Watson was seen
by the Journal correspondent this after
noon with reference to the Anderson dis
patch He said the special from Anderson
was not entirely correct; that he did say
there would be a general change in the
postma sterships of the district but did
not say that every one would be changed.
The changes will not be made because the
postmasters are the appointees of Henry
L. Johnson but for other reasons. These
postmasters supported Mr.. Watson loyalty
in 1898 and most enthusiastically in 1900. He
had no better friends in the district this
year he says, than the men who sup
ported Johnson in 1896
Postofice appointments. Mr.. Watson
says. will be made regardless of the stand
taken by the appointees in the Watson
Johnson contest of four years ago. Mr..
Watson bears no i'll will toward the men
who supported Johnson in that memorable
contest; in fact il has become matter of
history and does not now enter into the
politics of the Sixth district.
