POISONED GOOD DOG.
Valuable Bird Animal Succumbs to
the Prisoner.

The malicious dog pOisoner is
abroad in Abilene. G. T. Estes and
c. Stevens keep three fine bird dogs
for private hunting and have a fine
kennel south of Hodge Bros. store
where the dogs are kept when not in
use. They bother no one. About a
week ago the most valuable dog was
taken sick and today died. An autop-
sy revealed that it had been poisoned.
The dog was valued at 5000 and the
loss is deeply felt by the owners, not
as much on account Of its value as
the suffering and death of a noble
animal.
A reward of $50 will be paid for
the apprehension of the guilty
wretches.

tax on the, full amount Of the mort
gage. The reason of course is that
as rule the lender of money occu-
pies a position of greater advantage
than does the borrower, and may
therefore dictate terms. Money will
flow more freely and abundantly In
to realty loans when the mortgage Is
exempt than when it is subject to full
taxation, which the lender has to
take into account, whether he can
succeed in lodging the levy or not;
and the result of this is to lower the
rate of interest on such loans.
The effects Of the law in this state
exempting mortgages, or having the
practical consequences of exemption,
have been greatly disputed, but 1t Is
hardly to be denied that a generally
lower rate on such loans has resulted.
The interest reduction may not equal
the full extent Of the tax reduction,
but the general effect Of the exemp-
ton has been to make conditions
easier for the realty borrower, and 1t
cannot be abolished without making
these conditions harder.

WHEAT AT 1926.
Chicago Market Goes up Several
Points Today.

May wheat in Chicago opened from
two to three and a quarter cents
higher this morning owing to two
days higher cables from abroad and
a continued demand for wheat by
the Patton interests. The high point
early was $1.25A for May wheat
but reached $1.25%, where the mar
ket closed as reported by the local
commission company. Kansas City
May wheat closed at the highest point
for the day at $1.18B. Cash prices
were strong and higher. No. 2 hard
sold at 1926 and No. red at$1.42 in
Kansas City today. 1t looks as if
Patton has things completely in his
control and it is impossible to pre-
dict with any certainty just where
this bull movement will stop. The
government report issued today gives
the condition of wheat at o2.2.

1T HELPS THE BORROWER.
Massachusetts, Has Tried Out the
Mortgage Tax.

From the Springfield (Mass) Rep
ublican: The people of Kansas have
evidently become much dissatisfied
with the policy of taxing real estate
mortgages to tie holders of the same,
and bill Las been passed in tie leg
islature substituting for the tax reg
istration fee of fifty cents on each
y1vO of the mortgage. This is SINH
lar to the New York practice lately
adopted, but the Kansas governor
has vetoed the measure. His reasons
are that mortgages are property I'M
der state law, and that the constitu-
ton provides that all property shall
bear a uniform rate of taxation. He
favors constitutional amendment
which will enable the state to raise
its ,reVenue from sources independent
of those properly belonging to the
towns and cities-mentioning state
wide public utility corporations es-
pecially as producers of state rev.
enue; but he goes on to say OF the
taxation of mortgages:
"T fully appreciate the necessity
of establishing a just and scientific
method of taxation Of mortgaged
properties so that the debtor and
creditor will each pay their just share
according to their respective inter-
ests in such property, but this bill
falls short of so doing. A patient
careful investigation of this subject
has fully convinced me that the reg
istation fee provided for would be
paid by the borrower, and the ex-
emption of mortgages from taxation
would insure wholly to the benefit
of the man who loaned the money"
1t is evident from this that Gov
ernor Stubs has failed to get very
far into the heart Of the mortgage
taxation question. 1t is quite true
that the proposed registration fee
would be paid by the mortgagor or
borrower in one way or another, but
It is also true that in one way or an
other the borrower pays the present

of New York and the Standard OIL
company's chief counsel Of record, late
yesterday afternoon commenced the
presentation Of the defendants side OF
the case in the governments suit to
dissolve the Standard OIL company Of
New Jersey for alleged violations OF
the Sherman act, now before the Unit
ed States circuit court of this city.
Although Mr.. Milburn addressed the
court but 40 minutes, he found time In
that brief period to tell much OF the
early history Of the Standard OIL cor
poration, from the view point OF the
defense. The two principal points
made up to the closing hour, by Mr..
Milburn were that the giant corpora
ton had done much for American in
dustrIes and commerce, and that the
oil business Of the early days was OF

The Federal Attorney Mr.. Kellogg
concluded his opening address for the
government shortly afternoon, and
then c. B. Morrison, formerly United
States attorney in Chicago, and Mr..
kellogg's chief associate, finished the
governments opening Of the argument
by a two hours discussion OF the al
legged unfair competition. scoring the
Standard heavily for Its alleged secret

further with maintaining secret spy

mentioned as having been "spied' up

THE BLOODY RANGE WAR
TROUBLE OVER CONTROL or
GRAZING LANDS RENEWED.
Fifteen Masked Horsenen Ralded .
sheep Camp and Killed Three
Men In Gold Blood.

Cheyenne, Wyo, Apr 7.--Another
chapter to the bloody range war be-
tween the cattlemen and sheepmen for
control Of the range for gazing was
written In Big Horn county late on the
night of April 2. According to infor-
nation Just received here, Is masked
horsemen raided the camp Of Al
demand and Emge and murdered in
cold blood Joe Allemand and Joe Emge
wealthy sheepmen, and Joe Lazier,
herder.
Allemand and Emge had located
their camp at the mouth Of Spring
Creek, so miles southeast Of Basin,
where they were guarding 1900 sheep.
The raiders came upon the wagon on
the south side of the creek in which
two herders were sleeping. These men
were escorted to the road and told to
leave the country and not look back
under threat OF death.
A volley fred into the wagon on the
opposite side Of the stream resulted
in the death Of Emge and Lazier.
Evidently Allemand was reused by the
approach OF the raiders as his body
was found fully 20 feet from the
wagon where he had been cut down by
rife ball. The wagon had been
soaked In oil and fired, the bodies be-
ing cremented. About 30 sheep were
killed. .N...
All telephone wires we're cut and
news OF the affair did not reach Basin
until the following morning.
Immediately County Attorney P. w.
Metz, Sheriff Aston and Deputy
Sheriff Cuslck left for the scene Of the
outbreak, arriving the night of April
3, after a hazardous journey through
the deep snow. They found the bodies
undisturbed, but obtained no clew to
the murderers

Emge was formerly a cattleman, re-
Gently entering the sheep business.
There is great indignation through the
Big Horn country. The Big Horn
Sheep Growers and the State Wool
Growers associations have each Of
fered $1,000 reward for the capture OF
the raiders, and this will probably be
further increased by the state authori-
ties.

Four Plague Rodents Discovered Outside by
Agent of the Board of HeaIth---No
Sickness Among the People.

While on tour of inspection on De-

Territorial Board of Health states in
his report to the board that he found
-FOUR dead rats in near proximity to the
City Stables there. These he submitted
to meteorological examination and dis
covered that the rodents had died from
the plague. He states that guinea
pig was inoculated with the bacilli
found in the dead rats. and it died
very shortly afterwards.
A very minute examination of all
the premises was then made by Bow
man, and on lifting up the floor of
the stables ne found forty dead rats,
twenty-eight of which contained the
plague bacilli. Tests were made to de-
termlne beyond doubt that the little
creatures had died of the plague or
mat they had the plague bacilli in
tner systems, and this fact was en-
tirely established.
The whole neighborhood has been

thoroughly disinfected and general
cleanup has ensured the people of
Hilo-town that they have little or
nothing further to fear. The sanitary
inspector is waging a terrific war on
the rodents there, stating in his re-
port that he examines on an average
sixty rats per day.
The Board of Health passed a mo-
ton yesterday afternoon to send him
a letter of praise for the splendid and
energetic way in which he handled the
situation Secretary Charlock an
nouncea that he had already mailed
Bowman a three-page letter along the
same lines, but the board thought of
fetal commentator would not be out
of place in this case.
There have been no cases of plague
among the people of Hawaii of recent
date. and consequently it is generally
believed that the disease has been en-
tirely confined to the little animals.
The value of the constant surveillance
over rats and the unceasing war
against them is again demonstrated.

The brewing of sake depends upon

other sake breweries in Hawaii have
