HEALTH FIRST.
Judge Voorhees, Decides Town
Officials May Insist on Vac.
cination Of Scholars.

Positive assertion Of the right OF n
board Of health to enforce rules covering
vaccination was given by Judge Voorhees,
in the district court Monday. this being
the first time that the Colorado bench
has been called directly to pass upon tho
question Of vaccination. Tho ruling was
made by Judge Voorhees, in denying an
application for nm injunction to prevent
tho health aud school boards Of Il R,cky
Ford from barring child from the pub.
lie schools because the child had not
been properly vnccinated.
The application was made by W. j.
Mckinley. In announcing his decision
Judge Voorhees, stated the following
grounds for his position:
First The matter OF efficacy OF vacci-
nation is one with which the courts have
nothing to do, but it is by the statutes
left to the board OF health.
Second-The board OF health has au-
thority under the law to make all reason
able rules essential to the heath Of the
community.
Third-The rules so made by the board
OF health have the force OF law and the
Fourth-The regulations 30 made are
not subject to review by the courts, I'M.
less upon showing that they are unrea-
sonabie and unwarranted and that no
emergency exists necessitating such reg
| ulations.
The burden OF such proof, the court
stated, is upon the plaintiff, who in this
case failed to make such showing. An
attempt was made by Mr.. Mckinley to
show that vaccination was in itself au
evil, but the court ruled out such effort
and took the position that that matter
was no business of his, but was entirely
for determination by the legislature. In
conclusion Judge VOORHEES, announced
that in any event an injunction proceed
lug was not the proper method in which
to seek the end desired, but that man
damus against the board of health was
the remedy that should have been sought.
+ + +
As finding OF fact. there was danger OF
an epidemic at the time the order was
made by the board OF health, and that
the circumstances justified the board III
acting when they did, that their action
was according to law, and that under the
laws of the state they had right to make
and enforce the order.

A STORY OF TOM HORN.
flow the Large Cattle Owners Of Wyo.
ming Have Made Il Unsafe for
the Little Ones.

The reason go much stress was laid
on the recent Tom Horn murder case
in Wyoming. writes W. A. Brown In
Field and Farm. was because Il had
been SO many years coming to head.
Why. ! remember fifteen years ago
when Judge McGinnis became SO dis
gnsted with the work in the neighbor-
hood around where Wheatland is now
that he refused to have anything TO do
with cattle squabbles and threw all the
cases out OF court. The big cattle men
ip around there were opposed to new
settlers coming In and cutting them
out OF any part OF the government
land. As soon as little fellow came
In they set to work to make II 80 un-
comfortable that he would have to get
out.
They made practice OF employing
cattle detectives to hound the little fel-
lows and round them UP ON all sorts OF
charges OF cattle stealing and mnvcr-
licking. Things came to such a pass
that Judge McGinnis lost all patience
The only evidence they brought up To
him was that offered by the paid cattle
detectives. and he told them to go
home and quit bringing that sort OF
stun to his court. The result was that
the cattle men took things more and
more into their hands. and became 10
obsterperous that they organized the
raid of 1892 against the small home
steaders Of Johnston county.
DIR. Barber was acting governor of
the state at that time and was friend
ly with all the big cattlemen. He is a
sort of Ward McAllister out this way
IA good-hearted fellow ar ever was.
but easily led. His friends got him to
t,. G..a 81 al
tion train for the cattle men to 20 out
on the raid against the ranchmen. and
afterwards he had to hustle around to
save the invaders from being massa-
cred. The ranchcrs united to defend
their homes. trapped the invaders and
would haya shut them like wolves II
the United States troops hnd not been
sent to rescue them.
II cost the cattle men 100000 to de-
fcnd their performances that trip
They employed every lawyer OF any
ability In the country TO help them out

Tended Horn. was one OF the smarteat
they had. They got on with fines and

st. Johns. n. F.. Nov. 2.-rhe town
OF st. Pierre. Miqucion. has been de-
vRstated by FIRE. a destructive con-
fiagration started last night and swept
tn. main portion OF the town. The

buildings. the court hoIsc. the build
inEs occupied by the ministry of ma
rinc. the Roman Catholic cathedral.
the Presbyterian church. the schools
and number Of other buildings were
destroyed.
It has not yet been learned how
the fire originated. There was no wind
last night. else the entire town would
probably have been completely oDlit-
Grated.
Even as II Is. the extent of the dts
nstcr is very far-rcaching and the
financial loss will probably reach h.:tt
n million dollars.
There was no loss of life or serious
accident. The rapid spread of the con-
Gagration was due to the triiing water
supply and to the fact that st. Picrro
has no adequate iirc-fighting appi'-
nnccs.
The town of st. Pierre has been
partly burned down three times before
