ment Harrison claims 20 be damaged

In q conversation had between this
plaintiff and defendant In the pres
snce Of Thomas Harrison, the follow
ing words were spoken: PlaintiH
said: "Do you say that took your
and Ovsrstreet's cattle out Of your
pasture, or do you not?" To which
defendant then and there replied:
eyes, by God, / do. believed 1t all
the time" For this Language Harri-
son asks for $1,000 punitive and
$500 actual damages. Whersfors
the plaintiff prays judgment for
81, ,OoOlwith costs.
In the thiLd count plaintiff alleges
that defendant on the 18th day Of De.
csmber, 1899, made use Of the follow
ing language in the presence Of Robt
Blggs, that is to say: 81 have found

Judge Clark rendered a decision
on Saturday in st. Louis convicting
Whitney Layton, Of that city, on a
charge of selling a baking powder
containing alum, and fixed the fine
at 500.
The law Of Missouri forbids the
manufacture or sale within the state
of alum baking powders. The money
paid in fines goes to the good road
fund Of the county. Livery citizen
has an interest in the full enforce
ment of the law, first, that the high
ways of the state may be improved,
and second, that the health of the
people may be defended from alum
baking powders.
Grocers will escape prosecution by
Immediately throwing out of stock
any cheap alum powders they may
have. The constitutionality OF the
law having been established, the
prosecuting authorities in each coun-
ty will enforce the law and there ID
already some competition to see
which county will get the most
money for its road fund. IF prose.
cutions have promptly begun, each
county should collect thousands Of
dollars for good roads before sum.
