brand or a brand similar thereto,
except with the written consent
of the owner of the brand so re"
corded s4202 B. & c. Comp. The
defendants brand for horses, as
claimed TO have been recorded
by him. consists of a loop resem-
bling a horseshoe in shape, with
the points either up or down, on
either or both jaws. Also a sim
liar loop or horseshoe with points
up and a Greek cross immediate
ly to the right Of it on either hip.
Plaintiffs brand, as first record
ed, was for horses alone, and con
sists of a Horseshoe, with bar
under, on one or both jaws, and
i horseshoe on one or both jaws. F"
In August, 1908, he recorded his
brand again, including therein
one for sheep, as well as horses.
In the certificate of adoption he
states, that this brand for horses
is a Horseshoe Bar on either or
both jaws, thus indicaticating
that il might be a horseshoe with
or without the bar. The proper
ty in controversy in this action
is alleged by plaintiff in his conf
plant, to have been branded with
the Horseshoe Bar brand, and il
was to prove ownership of the
animals so branded that the GER
titled copy of the record Of his
brand was offered in evidence.
Iii this regard there is no con-
flict between the brand of plain
tiff and defendant. The defen'
dant's brand for horses resem-
bles a horseshoe, with points
either up or down, while that Of
plaintiff is a horseshoe with oper
end down and bar Immediately
under it. They are, therefore
in this respect, at least, not Tho
same, and a conflict in some othel
particular would be immateria
and not render the entire brand
as recorded, ineffective, as primi
facie evidence of ownership o
animals branded with the Horse
:, ..
shoe Bar brand.

A FARCE

The trial of William Hanley,
the Harney County stockman, for
the illegal fencing of government
land is an outrage with lots of
descriptive adjective before it.
The evidence showed that Hanley
purchased the land with the i'm
provements on it. There had
been some government land in
cluded under the same fences,
but there was nothing to show
that Hanley knew it included
government land.
1t was shown that this fence
was down in several places and
did not keep stock in or out. 1t
was shown that Hanley had ne
yer fenced a foot of government
land himself, or caused it to be
done. The conditions are the
same as when he bought the land.

\ NUMBER OF RACE HORSES HERE

Several head of running horses
and one trotter arrived here this
week for the July race meet and
it is understood several mares
will come in later.
Among those now quartered at
the fair grounds are: Baker

also working some local colts.
Not many harness horses are be-
ing worked for the July meet but
there will be a string for fair
week. It seems there will be a
sufficient number to fill the har-
ness races in July, however
Among those being logged at this
time are: Chas. Johnson's jim

W. W. BROWN WINS SUIT.

The supreme court has recently
handed down a decision in the
case of w. w. Brown VS.. w. z.
Moss involving the ownership Of
some horses. The case was tried
intake county and decided in the
circuit court in favor of Moss but
the supreme court has reversed
the lower court and remanded it
for trial.
This case is Of more or less in
terest to stock men as it deals
with the legality of brands which
are of record. 1t seems the cir
cult Judge ruled out certifications
of record of Mr.. Browns brand
in adjoining counties and that
the brand was not legal in Lake
county on account of its similari-
ty to the brand Of Moss which
had been made Of record. The
supreme court holds that Browns
brand was properly recorded and
a certified copy should have been
admitted as evidence, The de-
cision says in part:
THE brand Of plaintiff, as re-
corded by him, was not the same
as that alleged to have been pre-.
viously recorded by defendant,
nor was 1t similar thereto within
the meaning of the statute. The
law provides that when a brand
has been recorded in any county
no other person, company, OF
corporation, can record the same

There is a young couple in q
small town in Harvey county

You know it takes spot" cash
