 Governor J. H. KIbbey will go to San Antonio to attend the Rough Ri ders' reunion and has been asked by the Prescott committee to assist the committee from here to secure the next reunion to be held in Prescott.

 A man engaged in the stock business | in this county called at the Journal Miner office yesterday to obtain an in- depreciation of the stock law passed | by the legislature. He says that the law very generously provides that stock man may be permitted to kill three of his own cattle every year for his own use, without taking out Ii cense but does not say how many he may be permitted to kill of his neigh ] bor g, and he was anxious to know the limit in regard to the latter. He said that three of his own cattle will not meet his wants, hence his anxiety to know how many of his neigbbors cat tie he will be permitted to kill as the presumption, as he construes the law, is that draft is to be made on his nelghbors' cattle for all he needs over the limit of three placed on his own.
