Loco Weed Thought to Be Re-
sponsible For Death OF
Several Head
NUMBER OF CASES REPORTED
Assistant State Veterinary Neiman's
Attention Called to the Strange
Cases of Posonins-Animas Go
Crazy and Suffer Intense Pain, In
jurins Themselves in Their strus
giles.

Cases of poisoning of horses, caused,
IL is believed, by the animals eating
what is known as loco weed, have been
reported from this city and surround
ing territory to Assistant State Vet
terinarian r. j. Neiman. Several hors-
es. including four in one herd, pastured
north of the city, have died, and one
of herd near Gearing has succumbed
to the poison. Several in the Gearing
herd are Ill. but are being treated and
1t is thought will recover
The loco weed is found in the low
lands and sloughs where the water has
stood for some time, and kept the
ground moist during the entire period
of summer. The weed is rank poison,
and receives it's name because of the
peculiar action 1t has on animals that
eat 1t, as the brutes go crazy upon
partaking Of the week. The horses
north of the city, when found. were
paving the air, rolling In the dirt,
turning round and round. and acting
as tho lost. One horse, belonging to
George Robinson, rural mail Garner
out If this city, was SO afflicted that,
during its excructating agonies, it rub
bed Its head so hard into the earth
that the hair and flesh We're entirely
removed from one side of the face to-
gether with the eye on that side. The
animal is pitiful sight to behold, but
is recovering. 1t was thought for
time that some Of the horses would
hvae to be killed, so great was their
agony, but some were not discovered
until the worst stages of the poisoning
had been passed, and the animals were
on the way to recovery. The weed. as
usual thing, proves fatal, unless
treatment is at hand Immediately. The
loco weed is not common, 1t is claimed
IN this country, and the strange act
ions of the sick horses caused veter-
inarians to be at loss at first to know
Just how to account for the trouble.
1t was feared that drinking water from
stagnant pools was responsible, but 1t
Is now thought that there is no doubt
but that the loco weed, so much feared
in western plains, has put in an APP
pearance.

Such Is the Judgment of the
Court In the Nickerson
Bigamy Case
\ PLEA FOR SUSPENSION
breaches Promises to Immediately Be-
gin Making Amends For His Wrong
Doinss, II Lenienoy is shown-Ap-
peal is Ignored by court-sentence
as Pronounced 10 a Lightone.

A telegram to the TimesR Republican
from Circleville O.. announces the SEN
tence Of Rev. William r. Nickerson, in
the court of common appeals of Pick
away county. to one year in the peni-
tertiary at hard labor. The defendant
waived time for sentence, and was
brought into court Friday afternoon.
The Judge imposed light sentence,
but the prisoner appeared to be much
affected. and made strong plea for
leniency. He asked that sentence be
suspended, pending good behavior, and
promised that IL the court would grant
him his request he would Immediately
begin making amends for the wrongs
he has committed. The appeal was ig-
nored by the court, and the prisoner
will have at least one year, at
hard work for the state, in which to
reflect on his past conduct.
Nickerson receives, in his sentence
of one year, the minimum penalty for
the crime Of bigamy under the Ohio
law. The maximum penalty is seven
years in the penitentiary. In sentence
ing the prisoner Judge Charles Dres-
bach, of the court of common pleas.
which corresponds to the district court
in this state, told the prisoner that he
was uncertain. in his own mind, wheth-
err he, Nickerson, was a quack,
mountebank or fool in the sense Of
being ignorant, or, as the court sx-
pressed 1t, whether or not there is
something wrong with your head. II
were sure" the court added that you
are the first named, your sentence
would be the maximum, but | will give
you the benefit OF the doubt in my
own mind"
Nickerson Feels the Disgrace.
There was no one in the court room
Friday afternoon but what felt that
Nickerson was sincere in his evidences
of feeling keenly the disgrace of going
to the penitentiary. The court thought
that the very fact of conviction, and
the disgrace incident to the imprison-
ment in the penitentiary. would be
considered by the prisoner to be the
greatest possible punishment, in view
of Nickerson's intelligent and previous
standing. Nickerson dreaded the ac-
tual Imprisonment in the penitentiary.
and told the sheriff after the sentence,
that he would rather be shot than talk
en- to the pen.
The sheriff Of Pickaway county will
take Nickerson to Columbus, where
he will begin the serving of his term
next Tuesday.

LOCAL COMMENT

If Iowa can be depended upon for
such ideal weather in November, the
fishermen OF the state will be before
the legislature when it next meets with
a petition asking that the open season
for game fish be extended until De-
cember !. II the open season did not
begin until June / it could be length

fishing is good. and be better for the
protection the flnny tribe, for many
varieties of game fish are not thru

young are consequently destroyed.

cause of slack business, and the falling

are light. and as they form the bulk OF
the business at this time Of the year, a
lack of the usual amount affects con-
ditions materially.
