by Mr.. Aliens two daughters, aged 10
and lS years, respectively, attempted an

AS soon as the girls discovered the

CAUSED AN

Charged With Violating Two

Action.
LIVE STOCK is S EIZE { D

Guthrie, o. T., July 20-Secretary Thos.
Morris of the Oklahoma livestock sani-
tary commission has received a report
from DIR. 4. w. Sanders. the Oklahoma
veterinary surgeon that is making in
spections among cattle owned by G. T..
Dcsier near Jefferson, Grant county. that
he had found symptoms of hydrophobia.
Several of the cattle had died, others were
killed and one animal was in such con-
dition that it could not drink water and
gave every evidence of having hydropho-
bia 1t is supposed that the cattle were
bitten by a mad dog. otherwise it is not
accounted for how they became afflicted.
Dr. l.. J. Allen, federal inspector for
Oklahoma has caused arrests in Wood
ward county of persons charged with
having driven cattle over the federal and
territorial quarantine lines without per-
mission, thus violating two laws. The
herd of cattle was first heard of in Caddo
county. near Hydro, and they were next
driven into Blaine county and from there
owner being to take the herd to Beaver
county. In Woodward county a man was
deputized TO make inspection sby W. Z.
Bolton. president of the Oklahoma COM
mission and this man released the cattle.
DR.. Allen heard of the case and went to
Hydro for evidence. He secured enough
information to cause the arrest of the
owner and the cattle are being held in
Woodward county pending the hearing.
1t is asserted that President Bolton had
no authority to appoint a deputy inspector
for Inat one case, but since the federal
inspector has charge of the matter il
makes Ntle' difference to the Oklahoma
commission.
Deputy Inspector John Sullivan has
just returned from Greer county where
he found a number of cases of fever in
fection and states that in his judgment
the cattle were recently driven over the
quarantine line. The herds have ben plac-
ed in close quarantine and efforts will be
made to eradicate the disease.

NO MORE GRAVES.
Leased School Section and Objects
to Buriais Thereon

Guthrie. o. T, July 2o.-Says the Harri-
son Herald: Mr.. Hickman, who leased
the school section on which the dead Of
Harrison had been buried, has refused to
let any more graves be dug there, and
has run a fence through the small ceme-
terry and has plowed on all sides close I'D
to the graves His action has caused
much talk, as he did not notify the rela-
tives of the dead that he wanted the re-
mains removed.
The cemetery question is one which is
now agitating the people. We have no
place to bury our dead. Not person but
who would rather the cemetery would be
upon some one else's place. Every one
is more or less superstitious about such
matters, but ii is a question which will
have to be decided, and that at once.
What shall we do about it? Make some
suggestion. we will be glad to print it.
