To Defraud Farmers.

The grand jury of Washington
county, in session at HageTstown
this week, reported that they found
certain cattle dealers who convinc-
ed farmers that their cattle are
diseased with tuberculosis and later
purchasing from the frightened
farmers the same cattle alleged to
be infected at very small prices
and shipping them out of the
county to other markets, thereby
defrauding. Sufficient evidence,
however, was not found to convict.
The report says: "We believe there
is conspiracy existing between
certain stock dealers and veterinary
surgeons to defraud farmers out of
their cattle.''
