WARRANTS FOR THE
 ARREST OF 200 PERSONS

Having practically completed draft ing the warrants which charge more than 200 white property owners of Montgomery with violating the sani- tary- reguia tions, David W. Crosfand. chief clerk of the Sanitary Depart ment will begin service of them in- mediately.
 The warrants recite as the especial violation the offense of maintaining surface closets on premises. Surface closets within the city limits, and within access to sanitary sewerage. are violative of city ordinances.
 Many of the most prominent citizens of Montgomery are to be arrested through the warrants, and the heroic method is adopted as a means of stop- ping. once and for all. the maintenance of the nuisance which, 1t has been de- elared, are productive of more infec- ton than any other one.

 Lieutenant seweil and Sergeant Flood. of Montgomery; leaped to the ground to quell their men, who, angered by the whiskey. were bonn barding the Birmingham coach. The two officers disarmed all that they could, and secured seven knives and one razor. As each man was dis armed, he was thrust by the two of- ficers back into the car, and the door shut by the guards.
 Finally all of the men of the Mont gomery battery were replaced in the car, and after three minutes of the fight, the train proceeded.
 Inside both cars the officers labored to quell the men. Lieutenants Rem bert, Sewell and D. V. Todd of Mont gomery, and the four commissioned off, ficers of the Birmingham battery. Cap tain Dorrence, and Lieutenants Car lyle. Hardeman and Andrews. Each man displaying a knife was disarmed, ana much Wntskey was taken rom the fighters. Through the fight, Captain Todd. of Montgomery was disabled. unable to move from an old bullet wound.
 Within the Birmingham coach, after the train had started again after the stop, the men had secured pieces of the slag which had been thrown into the coach by the Montgomery soldiers. and began to throw, through the open part of their door, through the vesti- bules between the two coaches, into thes coach of the Montgomery bat tery. The Montgomery officers kept their men in the seats, however. and the slag from the Birmingham coach hurt none of them.
 During the fight. several of the Birmingham men were hit or cut. among them Sergeant Hunt.
 The complete identity of the Mont somery men who were in the fight has not as yet been established. but will be brought out at the investigation next Thursday.
 Considerable damage to the coaches was effected what with broken glass and injury in other quarters. The train was in charge of Conductor Dickinson.

ROADS CARRY
THE GOSPEL OF
GOOD FARMING
Win Send Lecturers for State
Through New Districts to
Teach Farmers.

Philip, 5. D., May 12.-That the rail-
roads of the west. which introduced the
practice of sending out experts on pure
seed and crop cultivation to address the
farmers from special trains, will go
even farther is shown by an
ment Just made by Superintendent
Dixie, of the Northwestern railway. He
stated that the railroad company wiz
pay the expenses OF a trip by Profess
sor a. e. Chamberlain, superintendent
or farmers Institutes, and Professors
Larsen and Willis, heads of the dairy
and agronomy departments of tbs state
college, to make an overland trip
through Stanley county and speak to
the farmers. These meetings win be
held at Meers. Hayes, Sansarc, Kirley,
Leslie, Milesville, Marietta, Grind
stone, Elm Springs and other places.
This is the first time on record that a
railroad company has sent Instructors
In farming off its line and indicates a
determination to carry the gospel of
scientific farming to the farmer
wherever he is to be found.

STATE HERDS
AFFECTED BY
TUBERCULOSIS
Startling Results of Recent
Tests of Fine Bred Cows
Owned by State.

Sioux Falls, S, D., May l0.-An ex-
herds owned by the various state In
situations disclosed conditions that are
certain to produce a statewide sensa-
ton. All the officials concerned refuse
to talk for publication. but enough OF
the discoveries made in h tests of the
mich cows has leaked out to startle
the public.
AS q courtesy TO the state, the bureau
Of animal industry, which is allied with.
the agricultural department, consented
to examine the herds at the South Da-
kota institutions and DR.. j. p. Foster,
of Huron, formerly state veterinarian,
and now in the federal bureau, was
detailed to conduct the tests.
With an assistant he went over all
the dairy cattle, at the state peniten-
tiary in Sioux Falls, the asylum for the
insane at Yankton, the institute for
the blind at Gary, the reform school
at Plankinton, and the institute for
the feeble minded at Redfield.
Many Cows Affected.
At the penitentiary, seven out of 30
head were killed as diseased and at
the hospital for the insane IL out of 60
Were slaughtered. The four cows at
Gary were found to be healthy, but
the results at Plankinton and Redfield
nave not DeSn Hdue hloWu.
In each case the cows slaughtered
proved to be rotten with tuberculosis, -
as one of the witnesses states. The sig
ntficance of these examinations grows
out of the unusual care the dairy herds
OF the state institution have received,
and the question is asked how many
ordinary mich cows are healthy II
those receiving unusua attention are In
considerable part diseased. All the
cows killed seemed healthy to the ordi-
nary observer, with sleek hair and
plump sides. 1t is understood the
tuberculin test was chiefly employed in
making the examinations and In nd
case did those declared diseased fail to
prove the diagnosis.
The incident is likely to revive the
agitation In South Dakota for regula-
ton and examination of dairy cattle!
1t Is a remarkable fact, yet we'll estab-
lished by Nathan Strauss in his inves-
legations of the subject, that the finer
breed of the COW and the better her
! care. the more susceptible she becomes
to tuberculosis. AS South k has
been turning more and more to
thoroughbred stock in the a few
years, the condition of the dairy cattle
of the state is a source of anxiety to
the consumer of milk and butter.
There is no question the disease is
communicated from the mother to the
calf. through the medium of the milk,
so wherever the malady nee gains q
foothold 1t makes rapid progress.
