TROUBLE STILL ON.
Quarantine Law Causes a Great Deal
OF liticatjon

Guthrie, o. T. oct. 3O.-The trouble
over the quarantine law of Oklahoma
is still on, and the latest proposition to
come UP is in the case of s. S. Ambris-
ter of Norman, president of the Nor
man Cotton Oil Mill company, who has
secured an injunction restraining Terri
torial Cattle Inspector r. II. Hahh from
putting a large bunch Of cattle which,
it is alleged, were illegally brought
across the quarantine line. back into
the Chickasaw reservation below the
line The authority of the live stock
sanitary board is at issue and if the
higher courts sustain the action of the
lower court and make the injunction per-
manent the board will be greatly ham
pered in enforcing the regulations gov
erning the bringing in of cattle across
the line.
The cattle are alleged to have been
brought across the line about the middle
of September by Thad Rea, Lewis Rem
ner and Jim Harden, who had contract
to furnish the oil mill company with 200
cattle for their feeding pens. The cat
tie We're placed in a pasture near Nor
man and few more out with them. S.
S. Ambrister claims that he is an inno-
cent party and that at the time hepur-
chased the. cattle he did not know that
they were illegally brought across the
line, and it WAS on this ground that he
asked the restraining order Inspector
Hahn has been working son the case for
some time and complaints have been
made by him against Rea, Renner and
Harden for violating the quarantine laws.
However, he could get no satisfaction
from Ambrister and arranged with the
sheriff of Cleveland county and posse
of deputies TO take the cattle from the
pens at 10 o'clock yesterday morning and
drive them across the quarantine line into
the Chckasaw country.
Ambris.er however, forestalled them
by appearing before Judge Sharp early
in the morning with a petition asking
that a temporary restraining order be
granted, and at the final hearing the
defendants be permanently enjoined from
moving the cattle or interfering with
them in any manner. Judge Sharp
granted the petition and issued an order
temporarily restraining Inspector Hahn
or the live stock board from proceed
ing further
Although the authority of the live

AS TO SIGNING TRANSFERS
Husband and Wife Must Act
to Make 1t Legal.

Guthrie, o. T, Oct. SO.-The following
rules, governing the workings Of the ter
ritorial school land Office were posted to-
day in each Of the various Office rooms
Of that department:
Recognizing the school land Office as
q regular department of the executive
branch of the territorial government, en-
trusted with some of the most important
interests of the territory, the board for
leasing territorial school and reserved
lands, does this 18th day of October. 1903,
adopt and put in force the following rules
of the board prescribing the duties Of the
secretary and governing the workings Of
the department:
i. Office hours shall be from $50 a.
m. until D. m, allowing a recess at
noon of one and half hours, and all
employees are expected to be on duty dur
in gthese hours, unless excused for
cause
"2. Employees shall not receive visitors
in Office during Office hours. except mem
bers Of families.
'S. Employees shall not smoke nor read
newspapers while on duty during office
hours. nor leave the building without per-
mission from the secretary.
- While employees of this office are
assigned to particular branches OF the
work regularly and shall give bond for
the faithful performance of their duties
under said assignment, they are expected
IA take up other lines Of work when
there is nothing before them in regular
assignment and when they have no work
on hand they shall report to the secre-
tarv for assignment
50. No letters relative to the work Of
+he department in any way shall be sent
out bv individual employees; all letters
must be submitted to the secretary for
aporovaI and to bear his written or

the duties. one to the other. of husband
and wife, when one or the other happens
TO be a school land lessee. Hence1or-
ward neither the husband or wife shan
make a transfer of their lease without
the signature Of the other. AS in the
transfer of a deed to land the wife must
sign with her husband to make the tran

that when husband and wife had likely
ouarreled and divorce proceedings were
pending. the husband had taken advan-
tage of the fact to cash in his lease by
transferring it and leaving his wife with
out any of the benefits.

Pending an Appeal the Cattiemen Are
Under Herd Law.

Guthrie O. T., Oct. 3O.-The following
from the Mangum Sun-MonitOr would
seem to indicate that the "Nesters" had
won a decided victory over the cattle
barons IN the county of Greer The
story as reported by the Sun-Monitor Is
as follows:
"On August %. when the free range
election cases came up for argument be.
fore Judge Beauchamp, on the motion of
the board of county commissioners to
dismiss the appeals taken from the ac-
ton of the board in canvassing the re-
turns and declaring in favor of free
range, after partial discussion OF the
questions involved. Judge Beauchamp
intfmated that his opinion at that time
was that the appeals would not lie. for
the reason that they were not taken
within twenty days from the date of
the order calling the elections. and fur
ther intimated that if appeal was taken
at all 1t should have been taken from
that order and not from the final order
declaring the result OF the election. At
torney Eagin, for the appellants. asked
the court at that time to defer decision
on the matter until fun presentation
of the questions involved and the de-
cisions on such questions could be made.
and the court postponed the cases until
later in the term for further hearing.
"On last Friday the cases again came
on TO be heard County Attorney Thacker
and Jarrett Todd appeared for the de-
fendants and Attorney Eagin for the
appellants, and the questions were fully
and exhaustively argued. At the conclu-
sion of the argument and on careful
cous;derat tion of the authorities pre-
sented by Mr.. Eagin the court announced
that he was compelled to change MS
former views and was constrained 10
hold that the appeals were righttuiiy

taken in due time and bonds given that
