The territorial cattle sanitary board
held an important allday meeting yes.
terday. finally deciding. after very
careful examination Of reports. upon
the parts Of the territory that will be
placed under a strict quarantine until
scab l sentirely obliterated from the
herds. The course Of the board was
made necessary by notification from
the United States authorities that, un.
less the local board acted at once. the
government would.
Following Is the quarantined dis.
trict: All OF Eddy and Chaves coun.
ties. east Of the Pecos river: all OF
Roosevelt county; az Of Quay county
south and east Of the Rock Island:
Guadalupe county south Of the Rock
Island and east Of the Pecos: all OF
Union county; that part of Colfax
county lying east OF the boundary of
the Maxwell grant and south Of Eagle
tall mountain, the herd Of Frank Man.
zanares in San Miguel county.
With the exception Of the district
quarantined the reports show that no
scab exists among the herds of the
territory. Strenuous measures are to
be taken with regard to the many
horses of this county. The owners
have neglected the directions of the
board to have the horses dipped al
though a free vat is maintained at Los
Conchas. The board has ordered that
unless the horses are dipped within
three days, their officers will round
up the NANCY bunch, have 1t dipped
scientifically and thoroughly and sell
enough OF the stock to pay the bills.

the only charge upon which he could
be held was that Of petty larceny

 Captain Kirkpatrick died yesterday Afternoon after an illness of long dur ation. For many weeks his life had been despaired of and his death had been almost hourly expected the past few days. Stomach trouble developing into complications which could not be cured brought death to the prominent Dallas County citizen and public man. He had been treated sometime ago by specialists in Atlanta, Ga, and Chi oaRo. III, but the operations he under went only prolonged his life few months.
 Around Captain Kirkpatrick at the time of his death were his wife, daughter and two sons who are prom inent in commercial and professional life.
 Captain Kirkpatrick led a public life up to a few months prior to his death. Only two weeks ago he re- signed his membership on the Dallas Count Board of Revenue and Cover nor Cunningham appointed Julien Smith to succeed him.
 The deceased was a native of this county and with his two sons, Clifton Kirkpatrick and Dr. s. Kirkpatrick, is said to have achieved a fortune in the years of his commercial activity. He was born October 22, 1885, in this county near Cahaba, in a few years going with his father to Butler Coun- ty. In 1862 he married Miss Sarah c. west at Burnsvllle and she survives him. The same year of his, marriage he enlisted in a Cahaba cavalry com pany and went through the last three years of the war between the States, finally laying down his, arms in Mo- bile. After the war he returned to Cahahas where sh q EasS eSar since spent much time in promotion of industrial enterprises. Tn late years he mad been associated there by Clifton kirkpatrick who owns extensive interests in that section of the county.
