Mr. Newell is well known in this

Some time ago The Sentinel was
informed that there was a probabil-

made.
The statements made above are
contained in an extensive dispatch
sent yesterday from Washington to-

effect that entire harmony does not
prevail between the secretary OF the
interior and the reclamation service
Following announcements embod--
led in the above paragraphs the dis
patch says in part:
About the time of the change of
administration it was learned that
certain western senators were anx-

Newell from office. That effort failed.
In fact. those who talked most about
| securing the removal of Director
| Newell were the last to make any
serious effort to accomplish their
purpose. The agitation they started!
was of short duration. In time it
completely died out.

PROSECUTIONS BRING RESULTS.
Especial TO The Sentinel. ]


Chicago, June S.-Federal prose-
cutions of railroads to enforce the
2S-hour law in shipments of live
stock are bringing results.
The construction of a series of
small stockyards at junction points
in the suburbs of Chicago, where cat
tie and hogs may be unloaded and fed
and watered before being shipped to
eastern cities and even before being
brought into the Chicago stockyards
is under consideration. The first of
these feeding yards was built at In
diana harbor and work was begun
last week by the Western Indiana
and Belt railways on yards at Seven
ty-Fffth and Rockwell streets.
The federal law provides fine of
500 for allowing cattle to remain
in the cars for more than 2S hours
without being fed or watered: but
the time may be extended to SO hours
by agreement with the shippers
The cattle from the Missouri river
move on 33-hour schedule, and If
there is delay danger of violating
the law arises.

Judge Watts presided over the
first court held in Bamberg county,
at which time Charles Zissett, a
white man, was convicted of murder
and sentenced to be hanged. The
governor commuted his sentence to
life Imprisonment, and Zissett is now
in the penitentiary, although efforts
have been made to have him par
doned. Judge Watts alluded to this
case last week, and said if the gov
sernor had not commuted the SEN
tence of Zissett conditions would no
doubt have been different in Bam-
berg county. And he was exactly
right. There is no question but that
il Zissett had been hanged we would
have had many less murders in this
county.
