The Gus Hummel case came up be-
fore Justice Folsom this week. Last
fall the Hummel boys took 48 horses
into this state from Montana, 81 Of
which were Inspected as the records
show. In this state they picked up
some more horses and were taking them
east when Inspector !. E. McCoul and
a Montana inspector reached their
camp in the vicinity of the Missouri
river. The horses were inspected and
the fees paid. Subsequently Gus
Hummel was arrested under authority
OF the law of 1901 which makes it a
crime to drive stock from one county to
another without first having the same
inspected. The Hummels say that
they knew nothing Of any such require
mrnt Of law but expressed a willingness
to do what was right. There also
appeared to be a question Of jurisdic-
tion. for it was not quite certain whether
the took had been wintered in Williams
or Mercer counties, and if in the latter
place the rase could o come to Stark .
Under all tn" circumstances, Justice
Folsom thought it proper to waive the
hne and LET the defendent pay the cost,
which was done. The warrant of arrest
was issued from the office of States
ATTORNEY Mcbride. The firm of Craw.
ford & Burnett appeared for defendant.
