PETER N. GARFF CASE.
In the spring of 1903, James p. Sharp.
who was then deputy sheep commission
er for Tooele county, acting upon in
structions from Jesse NJ. Smith, then
state sheep inspector, quarantined q
diseased herd of sheep belonging TO Pc
ter N. CART. Mr., CART claimed that
he was damaged considerably In hav-
ing his sheep placed in quarantine, and
entered suit against Jesse NJ. Smith as
state sheep inspector and James p.
Sharp as deputy sheep inspector The
jury awarded Mr.. Garff damages in tina
sum of $3.50 against Deputy James p,
Sharp. We appealed the case through
Atty. Gen. Breeder. and the supreme
court reversed the decision of the low
er court. In it's decision, the supreme
court held that Sharp acted in a quasi
judicial capa city, and that in the per-
Torrance of his duties he is not lI;sa
Bile in civil action, In the absencet of
averments and proofs that he acted
with malice or through fraud or COR
ruption.
NO SPRING DIPPING.
We do not think it will be necessary
TO have a spring dipping next year.
unless during the winter considerable
scab breaks out. which does not seem
possible at the present time: but we
will cooperate with the government
and have very thorough inspection
at the shearing corrals, and any sheep
found scabby will be dipped twice and
inspection the government will not
require another inspection of sheep
which enter upon the forest reserves
to summer. In the past, the sheep 60
Ing upon the forest reserves have been
compelled to have a clean bill of
health issued by a federal inspector
within 10 days before the date of en-
try; and as there always has been
q limited number of government in
spectors to inspect these reserve sheep,
sheepmen were put to much delay. and
in many parts of the state. after the
reserves were open for entry. owners
were compelled to hold their sheep
until, federal Inspector could exam
Inc them. In the fall we will no doubt
again join with the bureau OF animal
Industry and have a general dipping.
