Livestock company. for an injunction
restraining State Veterinarian Noble
and George B. Hickok, agent of the bu-
reau of Animal Industry, an his asso-
ciates from dipping band OF 100, 900
sheep now ON the winter feeding ground
of the plaintiff in Washington county.
A sensational feature of the case is
the allegation that the legislature, by
act OF March 8, 1905, creating the san
itary board and the office of state vet
erinarian, attempted TO extend re-
pealed statute devolving it's powers up
on the state veterinarian and his asso-
ciates. The act sets forth that the du-
ties prescribed for state sheep inspector
under the act of February 25, 1899,
shall be performed by the state veterin-
arian, but il is declared in the COM
plant in this case that the act of 1899
was repealed by act of March z, 1901.
For this reas on it is alleged the state
veterinarian has no authority of take
action in such matters.
Ii the act OF 1901 is still in force, &C.
cording to the complaint the state has
no sheep inspector authorized to adj
minister the law.
