The storm at Snyder, O. T.,
Thursday with its death roll of
ninety, its crippled and its property
losses is the worst visitation Of the
kind for 1905. Situated as it is, in
a narrow valley between mountains
with a course southwest to north
east and in the country that it is,
1t is peculiarly inviting to the forces
of the storm king, but notwith-
standing this, the rebuilding Of the
town has already begun.

SHEEP DO WELL.

In travelling over the Plains
country, the editor OF The News
has often asked himself the
question, why would not sheep
do we'll here:
The luxuriant short grasses
spriuging from a Well.matteo
sod. the rolling topography OF
the prairie> iusurDng some hrm
footing during wet spells and
the usually dry winters, except
iug only snow, all point to an
ideal sheep country. To these
things, then. may be added the
abundance Of weeds which grow
on our cultivated lands.
Sheep are great lovers of
weeds, sour grass, crab grass,
and such like pests TO the farm
er. They even prefer these
uuisances To corn and other
growing crops aud If turned in-
TO a "snaky' field they will
clean il out leaving the growing
crop intact. What a labor
saving blessing this would prove
to some OF our old-style-at-
present with us-P a n b d t
farmers. In Ohio and other
states of the North, certain
number OF sheep are Kept on al
We'll ordered farms for this very
purpose. Their enterprise IN
this direction, alone, more than
pays for their keep; and then,
they enrich the laud-tr1iy the
'boof OF this animal is golden.
The editor of Tue News halls
from a section Of the state where
sheep are plentiful and good
sheep too, but nowhere mas he
seen better or finer looking
sheep than grow right here or
the Plains. Only few, to be
sure, have come under his OBJ
SprvatiOn here. but those few
have surpassed in general ap
pearance anything he has ever
seen outside of the prize pens.
Sheep are already doing well
here if we can believe our near
western nabors. The Hereford
Brand of recent date says:
"a large number OF the Deaf
Smith and Castro county stock
farmers are including good
sized flock of sheep in stocking
their farms and ranches. They
are Just awakening TO the fact
that there is good money to be
made in the sheep business IN
this country. Of course it re-
quires considera BILE preparation
10 the way of wolfproof fences,
shelter etc, but those who have
engaged in this industry are
greatly pleased With the re-
suits.
The News is well aware of the
prejudice against the sheep by
the old time Texas cOwman; not
many years ago its editor had
it in" for the sheepman big and
strong himself. but he has, with
many others seen the error OF
his way and departed there
from.
Five years ago on the south

are dividing the country with

Judge Hunt addressed few words
to the jury, thanking them for theiI
patience and attention during the three
weeks which was taken to try ths
case. and discharged them.
Save for the silence Of solemnity. at
tending the occasion, there was nothing
dramatic In the event. Even less 90
than at the two previous trials when
the disagreements were returned. VIII.
hanson sat slightly apart from the 9TH
,er defendants, rocking his chair back
and forth, apparently less concerned
than the flushed and embarrassed jury
during the reading Of the verdict.
Gesner and Biggs, with several ol
their friends, sat in front Of the rail al
the rear Of the bar, and rivaled William.
son in immutability Of countenance.
Judge Bennett, the attorney for the
defendants, moved that the defendants
be given new trial But Judge Hunt
put the matter Of hearing the motion of
and the court adjourned.
The case Of which this is the third
trial, commenced on September 5, but
little testimony was introduced differ
ing from that of the two previous trials,
and in the main, the arguments Of the
attorneys were the same. Heney fin.
ished his argument in rebuttal late to.
day and Judge Hunt delivered tne
charge TO the jury, after which it re-
tired to deliberate.
The verdict. in view Of the two pre-
yious disagreements, was a surprise tc
all except Heney, who maintained
throughout, that the case became
stronger at every presentment to the
jury.

GOVERNMENT WINS POINT
Defendants Contend That Jury Was
Not Properly Drawn

Chicago. Sept. 27.-A victory was
scored today by United States District
Attorney Morrison in his struggle to
bring to q successful finish the prosecu.
ton Of the meat packers. During the
argument against the demurrer filed by
Attorney Morrison against the plea in
abatement, which was filed some time
ago by the defending attorneys, con-
testing the indictment which charges
the various packers and their associ-
ates with conspiracy in restraint Of
trade, the question Of the right of the
packers to appear in court at the time
Of the empanneling Of the federal grand
jury TO challenge the jurors as they
were empanelled was raised and Judge
J. Otis Humphrey decided in favor Of
the government.
The objection made by the defendants
as to the manner in which the jury
was drawn was then taken up and at
the time of the adjournment tonight At
torney Ro-enthal was reading authori-
ties supporting his contention that the
jury was drawn from the eastern part
of the district without the proper order
of the court. The jury was drawn from
the eastern district OF the northern d.
vision Of this state, and it was con-
tended by the defendants that the
court ordered the jury TO be drawn from
the body Of the district, meaning both
the eastern and western divisions. The
hearing will be resumed tomorrow morn
ing.

DISORDERS EXAGGERATED
Associated Press Is Given Extensive In
terview by the Secretary Who Des-
cribes Prevailing Conditions in the
Philippines, China and Japan.

San Francisco, Sept. 27.-Secretary
Taft, who with a party Of congressman,
returned today from an extended trip
through the Philippines, China and ia
pan, gave an extended interview to the
Associated Press in which he describes
his trip and states his impressions OF
place visited. Concerning the Philip
pines, he found great improvement, re-
sulting from American occupation, but
noted that a wave Of Ladronism had
swep over some parts of the islands, this
with the complaints Of drouth and SIM
liar misfortunes created considerable
criticism Of tine government.
Regarding the subject Of independence,
the secretary asserted that some Of the
younger generation had been advocating
independence, and it was found neces-
sary to emphatically state that it would
be more than a generation before their
hopes would be realized, because it would
require at least that length Of time to
place the people generally upon the nec-
essary footing. {
An interesting part Of the secretary's
account is the agreement Of the demo-
cratic and republican members of the
party TO refrain from all discussion of
differences in opinion before the natives,
and the sighta which some of the ire
coneilable Flipinos hoped for, combat
between the democratic and republican
members, with the Filipino people as an
audience, was not witnessed.
Of the Chinese boycott, the secretary,
while admitting that he was not well
enough informed to speak authoritative
", he believed it would quickly fade out
because the Chinese merchants them;
selves are losing money as result of
it. He thinks modification of the iY-
migration laws enabling the privileged
classes to enter the United States with
out being subject to humiliations, Is
advisable. Secretary Taft states that
many of the peopl 'apa-. are dis
gusted at the but the
more conserva sieves an
