Pens Where stock is UnIOaded for
Rest Must he Properly Equipped.
WASHINGTON Feb. 13.-Secretary Will
son today gave the Department of Justice
data on sixteen violations of the twenty
eight hour law-an act providing that live
stock shipped on railroads may not be kept
in cars without food and water longer than
twenty-eight hours without consent of the
shipper, and then only thirty-six hours The
cases are against the Rock Island road
The records show the stock was kept in the
cars an average of about forty-hve hours
In circular sent today by Secretary Will
son to the heads of all railroad lines in the
country he said:
This department has to this date received
evidence of something over 500 violations
have been reported to the Department of
Justice in order that suit may be insti-
tuted in each case for the maximum pen
atty of $500. Nearly 100 cases will be trans
mitted to the Department of Justice in
few days. In all of these cases the offense
consisted of combining the live stock beyond
the question been raised as to whether the
cattle, when they were unloaded, were
placed in properly equipped pens for rest
The purpose Of this letter is to call the
attention Of your corporation TO the fact
that hereafter the inspectors of the depart
ment will examine the pens in which the
various railroads engaged in interstate
commerce unload live stock for rest feed
and water And when the cattle are I'M
loaded in pens not properly equipped suits
will be brought for the recovery of PEN
| alties. The department is In receipt of
| numerous reports and complaints from
stock men and others that stock is un-
loaded into pens, In some cases belly deep
in mud, in others the water supply Is in
sufficient or so arranged that the stock is
| unable to drink. In other cases the feed
is so placed that most OF the cattle cannot

OFFER ron MINING PROPERTY
New York Man VIII Buy Omcer &
Pussy Claim.

view YORK WAN VIII buy OmceT ~
Pussy Claim.
Receivers Beresheim and Iurphy of
the Officer & Pussey bank have an oppor-
tunity to dispose of the Walter Scott
mining property, which forms part of the
assets of the defunct banking firm. Jules
v. Barnd of New York City has an option
on the property to purchase IT for $4,000
and is said to be still willing TO buy at
this price
This option was secured in July of
1906 by Mr.. Barnd and was later extended
to June 8, 1907, in order to give the pros
pective purchaser an opportunity to In
vestigate the property. The report of
the expert who made the examination be-
ing satisfactory, Mr.. Barnd the receivers
say, is willing to consummate the purchase
and yesterday Judge Thornell granted
authority to the receivers to expend the
needed amount for an abstract of the
property.
At the time of the suspension of the
bank and the appointment of the receivers
the Walter Scott Mining property was
listed among the assets at $25633. In
January. 1901. It was stated that a com
pany of Colorado promoters held a S15
900 option on this mining property but
the option expired in March of that year
and the deal fell through. The promoters
who obtained the option were negotiating
for the sale of the mine to eastern cap
italists who had acquired a number of
other mining properties in the same To-
cality and through the same promoters.

COURT is TO SETTLE CONTROVERSY
Legal determination Of Right o

Legal Determination of Right of
Clerk of Court to Clerk Allowance.
The controversy between the Board Of
County Supervisors and H. V. Battey, clerk
Of the district court, over the latter's
allowance for extra clerk hire during 1906
and 1906 is to be arbitrated by the district
court, At the instigation OF Mr.. Battey,
suit was commenced yesterday in the name
of Potta wattamie county, j. w Mitchell
treasurer, to recover $500 which Mr.. Battey
had drawn during the two years for extra
clerk hire
In his answer filed yesterday with the
petition Mr.. Battey asks judgement for
$16o against Pottawattamie county, as be-
ing the amount of the allowance for extra
CLERK hire for the months of September,
October, November and December 1906,
which he had failed to draw.
In his petition is recited the resolution of
the board of supervisors of January 7,
1905. fixing the compensation of the clerk
of the district court. In addition to the
$500 salary provided by statute, the reso-
luton provides that the clerk shall retain
$500 from the probate fees and be allowed
$40 per month clerk hire" 1t is shown
| that Mr. Battey drew up to and including
the month of August, 1906, In all $500 for
clerk hire but it is contended in the
| petition, so as to bring the controversy 10
an issue, that there was nothing to show
that Mr. Battey had employed extra cleri-
cal help or paid for same out of this allow
ance, and the recovery into the county
| treasury of the $500 is asked.
The answer filed by Mr.. Battey sets forth
that the action is brought at the request
of defendant to obtain a judicial determine
ton Of defendants legal rights, because of
some dispute that had arisen in respect
| thereto.
Last August, during the campaign for
\ county offices. there was not the best of
! feeling between certain members of the
Board of Supervisors and Mr.. Battey, and
some of the supervisors questioned the
| right OF Mr. Battey to draw the $40 a
month allowance for clerk hire on the
alleged grounds that he did not employ
| extra help all the year around. When this
| question was raised Mr. Battey ceased
| drawing the $40 a month allowance, al
| though maintaining that he had a perfect
| right to-
Rather than have his claim for the last
, four months OF 1906, amounting to $i6C
turned down by the Board OF Supervisors
II he presented it. Mr.. Battey decided to
appeal to the court and have the matter
settled there. In his answer Mr.. Battey
asserts that the allowance of $40 a month
was no more that suficient TO pay the
extra help employed by him, and he calls
attention to the fact that like allowance
has been made for several years to his
predecessors In office.
