LIVE STOCK INSPECTION

In it's final report the grand jury at Tombstone took occasion to com. ment on the present live stock law and its workings in the following Ian guage:
 IL is the sense of this grand iur3 that the laws relating to the liy, stock sanitary inspection are. in thei present condition. unwholesome, an. work in their operation a hardsh' upon the cattle owners Of the county Instances have been brought to th, attention Of this grand jury, showin that the stock seized under liy' stock inspection laws have been driv en many miles from their home rang to the court in which the proof property was made and after proc of property in the original holde the cattle were returned to the own. = the court. This is a practi, which this grand jury believes shoulu be abolished. for the reason that the small owner coming under tho sus- picion of the cattle inspector is put to the expense. not only of proving his property. but of returning the ! property when proof is made. be sides the danger of loss or damage in driving the stock a great distance tc
