BEEF ON THE MARKET.

Parsons, Kan, May 21.-The case of
the state of Kansas against Jesse
Clark, in which the defendant is
charged with maintaining and expos
ing to other cattle a COW infected with
the lump-jaw. viii probably be far
reaching in its results. 1t is thought
that Clark knows of other cows in the
county that are infected with a dis
ease similar to that which attacked
his own animal.
Mr.. Clark. it seems has thrown out
hints that have caused the officers to
conduct a little investigation, that is
in progress at the present time. 1t
is firmly believed that butter, espec-
tally, is being consumed in Parsons
that is made from milk of lump-ja wed
cows. 1t is believed that a great deal
Of butter that comes from the country
Is infected and the public is thorough
" aroused over the fact.
Deputy County Attorney 1den says
he is perfectly willing to prosecute any
man or men who are known to be
keeping diseased cattle and he fur
Their says that any evidence that can
be furnished him showing that such
conditions exists, he will Immediately
take steps to remedy the evil.
Outside the milk and butter that it
is believed Parsons is consuming, it
is also thought that beef of these in
fected animals is being placed on the
city market. One reputable citizen
who is operating a meat market, says
that a certain farmer offered to sell
him a lumpy- jawed steer some time
ago. The gentleman in question told
the farmer that he would not have
the animal in his lot for 500. why
you can chop his head off and no one
will ever know anything about it,
said the farmer. The meat market man
said that he still did not want the
steer and further declares that, to his
personal knowledge. the animal was
sold to another butcher, (the latter
not knowing that the steer was infect
ed and that the meat was sold and
consumed by the Parsons people.
This is only an instance of what the
public may be consuming in the way
of meats The general sentiment is
that it is time to call a malt on such
practices and it is believed that a
number of the guilty parties win be
prosecuted. if the practice of selling
lump-jawed meat and lumpjawed
milk and butter is kept up.

ARRESTED ONE JUROR.
Other Eleven Men in the MARCEL Case
Are Discharged.

Arc Discharged.
Troy. Kas. May 21@The jury in
the trial on the first of five counts of
forgery against J. E. MARCEL, cashier
of the wrecked Highland bank, dis
agreed after being out 48 hours and
was discharged. The jury stood eleven
for conviction and one for acQulttal.
John Alfrey, the juror who held out
for acquittal, was arrested after the
discharge of the jury on a charge OF
perjury. 1t is alleged that Alfrey
made the statement before he was
selected as a juror that he would vote
for acquittal to the last. The High
land bank owed over $500, 600 when
it failed last year.
J. ]. Baker a lawyer who has been
successful in criminal practice, sew
cred his connection with the MARCEL
cases Monday. It is said some dis
agreement about the fee to be paid
him was the cause of his withdrawal.
The next case against MARCEL will
be tried Thursday. There are a num-
Der of civil cases on the docket grow
ing out OF the bank trouble, one of the
most interesting of which is the one
regarding the $4,000 check for taxes
which had been paid in to the bank
by the taxpayers, and when the
county treasurer presented it for pay
ment there were no funds to meet it.
One theory advanced is that this sum
will be held as a trust fund from the
first money realized on the good secu-
rites in the hands of the receiver, and
the money paid into the treasury.
Others contend that the loss will fall
on the county treasurer, and still 9TH
ers say tht the taxpayers will have
to pay their taxes over again.
