New England Sheep Ranches.

A new use has been discovered for
the abandoned farms Of New Eng
land, so that even If the free alcohol
visions do not materialize, the farm
ers of this section may still have the
possibility of fortune making before
them. In 1905 q corporation was or
ganized for the promoting Of sheep
growing through this section, and in
two years about 5000 animals have
been imported and leased to the
farmers of the state An educational
campaign as to the rearing of sheep
has also been conducted through the
state and three headquarters ranches
have been in operation for the dem
onstration of the possibility of this
branch Of the farming industry. The
results are said to have been sue
cessful. There has been a consider
able distribution of sheep, and profits
have been earned by the company.

CORONER CANT FIND" RUFF
Judge viii Try to Get Man Who Can
Find Him.

Coroner Walsh, delegated in Sheriff
O'Neill's stead to apprehend Ruef aft
er the court had declared the sheriff
incompetent, reported his failure and
was given until this morning to make
good. Failing then Judge Dunno will
probably appoint an elisor to bring the
fugitive into court Shortly before 5
p. M. counsel for Ruef made applica-
ton to the state supreme court for
identically the same writ of prohibition
refused earlier in the day by the dis
trict court Of appeals.
Pending the determination Of this
move 1t is the purpose Of Judge Dunno
to go right ahead with the case, and
it is not the intention of counsel for
the defense to produce Ruef in Judge
DUNES court while the matter thus
stands. The district court of appeals
handed down no written opinion in
refusing Ruef's application for a writ
Of prohibition, but after the denial had
been entered Justices Cooper, Hall and
Kerrigan made the following state
ment to the Associated Press:
1--WE have denied the application be-
cause the writ of error did not lie in
Judge Hibbard's court and because
there was no ground for debate" AS
sistant District Attorney Heney, In
terpreting this statement, said: "We
arc not greatly exercised about the dis
appearance Of Ruef, he is not far
away. And if the coroner does not
bring him into court at 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning I shall request the
court TO appoint an elisor-not Mr..
Burns. but some citizen who Is not a
partisan and yet man who will do
his duty. We shall get Ruef into
court"
