Application For Warrant Of Arrest For Alleged Tennessee Murderer
 Reaches Capitol.

Little Rock, Nov. Ex-Governor Donaghey Thursday afternoon re- ceived an application from Attorney General z. N. Estes, of Memphis, for a warrant of arrest for J. J. Hughes, 0. Haynes. Lee county, upon the re- Guisition of the governor of Tennes- See. Hughes stands charged in Mem phis, upon indictment, with murder for the killing of Tom Dolan in Memphis, July 9, 1911. It is alleged that he is a fugitive from justice. Judge J. w. Palmer, of Memphis, al- lowed him bail upon an application of habeas corpus, holding that it was bailable offense and not murder in the first degree. The Supreme Court reversed Judge Palmer, and directed that Hughes be returned to custody under the indictment. It is claimed that Hughes has been seriously ill at his home in Haynes, and that it is impossible for him to answer the summons. Gov. Donaghey will not announce his decision in the matter until he has made an investigation of the facts.

the United States AS our readers know the
crowding of the cattle out Of many section OF the
range by the sheep has been attended by much
bitterness and controversy There are three prin-
cipal species of range sheep. The old Mexico
sheep are the direct descendants of the original
Spanish Merinos. brought over two hundred years
ago by the Spaniards In Old Mexico. They nave
long legs: long. thin body. and the wool Is fine
and thin. They are hardy excellent travellers and
will keep in good condition on the poorest and
driest Of ranges. Often they outsell all other
sheep. for the meat has an excellent flavor and
the hide is thin. Arm and soft. These original
Mexican sheep have been largely graded with Me-
rino rams in New Mexico and southern Colorado.
The New Mexico sheep as they are denominated,
are smallboded sheep, and although they never
grow very large they get very fat. They bring
good prices, for the same reasons that obtain In
the case of the Mexican sheep above mentioned.
Merinos are also to be found the range in great
numbers many of them having been bred from

southern sheep, but they need not be. for Wyom-
ing, Idaho, etc.. have, on the average. better
ranges than are to be found in New Mexico and it
is In these northern states that the Merinos hold
sway.
Almost all range sheep are affected with scab.
though 1t Is frequently so held In check as to be
scarcely noticeable. AS remedy It is the general
practice to dip" all range sheep. and this opera

ranch Is decidedly picturesque. Oftentimes 1t is
deemed necessary to give the same sheep several
clippings at intervals Of ten days. and occasional
