RE-TEsT ASSURED PLUMB
Experiments Made Four Years Ago
in Dairyman's Herd.

Had Sherman l.. Plumb, the dairy
man at 1925 Lyndale avenue S, fol-
lowed the advice of the city veterin-
arian, three years ago he would not
now be mourning the loss Of a large
herd Of fine Jersey cattle, says DR.. P.
NJ. Hall, commissioner Of health.
Three years ago this herd was
tested for tuberculosis and four AMI
mails were found to be affected. Mr..
Plumb demanded a new test, which
he could then do, and the result was
that there was no reaction.
DR.. Keys says there was only one OF
the four original condemned lot left
in the herd. The health officials say
the health department for killing his
cattle, as the killing was done by the
officers of the state. A complete re-
port with the findings of the post
nortem will be found in the records
of the live stock sanitary board, all
of which are public property.

STRAIT GETS NEW TRIAL
Jordan Banker Prifits by Error in His
First Trial.

Judge Quinn has filed at Glencoe
an order granting H. Burton Strait,
who was found guilty Of receiving a
deposit in the Scott County bank at
Jordan, Mimi, of which he was presi-
dent, when the bank was insolvent, a
new trial.
The grounds for the order are that
the court erred in the admission of
certain evidence, an dthat there was
not sufficient evidence to sustain the
verdict. The court found that the
depletion of the bank funds was
caused largely by the failure Of other
banks in the vicinity; that the banks
books were accurately kept and
showed its true condition; that the
proof fell short of showing insolvency,
and that all i the evidence in
Dictated the honesty of Straits
intentions and actions. Attorneys
for the defense were G. r. Fowler

RATIoNs FOR EMPLOYEES
New Army Order Will Save Each
Man SO.

An order has been received at the
army headquarters that all employees
in the quartermaster's department
will be. given monthly. allowances of
rations dating from the signing Of
the order. This puts the employees
on the same footing as the soldiers.
The reason advanced is that the cost
of living has so increased in the past
few years that it Is only just to make
this provision. The new allowance
will mean difference of about $40 a
month to the men.

There is a high railing on the bridge
and it would have been impossible for
her to have fallen off accidentally.
