NEW DISEASE
ON THE RANGE
Sheep in White Pine County,
Nevada, Have a Strange
Malady Which Is Caus
ing Growers Heavy Loss.

Especial to The HcrnId-RcpubIicnn.)
Reno, New, Dec. 2I.-The sheep rang
ing on portions Of Spring valley. White
Pine county are afflicted with "a pc
cause T. -hroudcd In mystery. No
method has been devised by the wool
growers In that section by which the
dread molsdy cnn he cradicatcd.
The sheepmeu are unable to cope
with the situation. and have applied to
Uncle sam for assistance iu fighting
the deadly disease, which is making
serious inroads ON the different bands
I'm the eastern part OF the county. They
have asked for the cooperation OF the
government officials i'm staviuE off the
coutagion. The disease manifests it
SELF in an unusual way. and appears to
be Of a contagious nature. The ami
mails become blOated shortly after they
are taken sick They usually 1.-Two only
twenty-four hours. In rare Instances
sheep have been known 60 recover.
James Doutre has lost about sixty head
Of sheep during the last month. and Sc
we're encroachment has been made on
the bands owned by other shcepmcn.
It IS probable the government will
detail a representative Of the bureau
OF animal industry 20 investigate. Re
ports are arriving almost daily i'm this
city Of losses or indications or future
deaths OF the suffering animals. and
the alarm through all the sheep grow
ing sections Of the state is very mani
fest. and bodies serious consequences II
drastic action is not resortcd to imme-
diately.
A meeting OF the stock Growers as
ISOLATION was held Yesterday. and tho
members are auXiouslv awaiting the re-
suit or their wires to Washington. as
they feel wholly unequal TO the situ-
alton. Otherwise the sheep industry Of
the state IS in very favorable Condf-
ton and the visitation Of this new
malady to their stock comes as a great
misfortune at this time. The local
stockmen have resorted to every known
remedy. but their individual and COM
bined efforts are OF no avail

Be Set Aside.

Trenton, N. J.-Not until January 9
will Porter Charlton learn whether he
will be sent back to Italy to be tried
for wife. murder.
When he appeared before United
States Judge Rellstab, pale and bag
gard and showing the effects Of the
six months confinement and the
hemorrhages to which he is frequent
ly subjected, his lawyer, R. Floyd
Clarke, asked for an adjournment on
the ground that he needed time for
the collection Of certain important
evidence. This evidence will be used
to have set aside Secretary of State
knox's ruling that the young man be
extradited. ,....
Judge Rellstab allowed an order
amending the records in the case by
striking out the proceeding before the
Hoboken recorder, following Charl-
tons arrest at the steamship pier
after his return from Europe. Coun-
sci for Charlton also secured an order
eliminating from the records the copy
OF she complaint presented before
Judge Blair Of the Hudson county
courts. These are regarded as nota-
bic gains for the accused man, as
they greatly simplify the case which
his counsel has to conduct In his be-
half.
Judge Charlton is confident that the
ruling Of Secretary Knox In favor of
extradftion will be set aside. He does
not think his son in his present con-
dition would survive the journey to
Italy.

SLIGHTEST PROOF OF BRIBERY
BY SENATOR Is SHOWN.

Beveridge And Frazier Do Not Sign
Committee Finding Which Is Pre-
scented to Senate and May File
Minority Reports Later.

Washington.-The report of its in
yestigation Of charges OF bribery
made in connection with the election
Of Senator William Lorimer OF I'LL.
nois was submitted to the senate by
the committee on privileges and cleo
tons through its chairman, Senator
Burrows. Wednesday, Just before that
body adjourned for the holiday re-
cess.
The conclusion reached by the com
mittee follows:
That. In their opinion, the title OF
Mr.. Lorimer to a seat in the senate
has not been shown to be invalid by
the use or employment Of corrupt
methods r practises.
Charges hat fou members OF the
Illinois legislature were bribed and
that three other members paid brides
are not ignored by the committee.
The report declares that those who
confessed to receiving brides should
not be belie-ed and that the votes Of
those who were charged with paying
brides should be counted.
In relation to tho charges that there
was a corruption fund used in the 1lli-
nois legislature and hat it was dis
bursed by one Robert e. Wilson. the
report says that there Is no evidence
that it was used for the benefit of Mr..
Lorimer. The committee suggests
that any investigation of the use Of
such a fund should be made by au-
thorities Of the state of Illinois.
The statement of views of Senator
Frazier was made public later. In
his statement Senator FRAZIER declares
that the four confessed bribe-takers
implicated three other members OF
the legislature who bribed them; that
these three votes were also corrupt,
which would make seven tainted
votes. Eliminating these seven votes.
Senator Frazier holds, would make
the vote, received by Senator Lorimer
less than a majority.
The report. as presented, "a not
signed by members of the committee.
although 1t did not appear that there
was n minority. On the floor Of the
senate. however. Mr.. Beveridge made
the statement that he had not been
able to concur with or dissent from
the findings because of the voluminous
character of the testimony. He said
that he would digest the proceedings
OF the investigating committee during
the holidays. He asked that a specific
time be named for acting upon the re-
port, but objection was made by Sen.

Sioux FallS.-in the extreme north

cattlemen and sheepmen of the state
are making a last stand against the
encroachment of the homesteaders,
who during the past two or three years
have gradually overrun the former
great cattle range country between
the Missouri river and the Black Hills
and north of the Black Hills.
When homesteaders occupied the
region between the river and h hills
the cattlemen moved their herds tc
the then remote region north OF the
Hills. But homesteaders now have
occupied that region also, and it is
probable the big cattleinon will DC
swept back still further.
The h~onesteaders of Harding coun
