DIPPING VATS ARE

owners
EXPERIENCE OF T. J. NIXON
WITH HIS HERD Is PROOF OF
THE GOOD RESULTS.

The introduction of the tick vat
into Mississippi is becoming quite
general. Many counties have made
appropriations for the purpose of in
augurating the dipping system and
have enacted compulsory orders re-
quiring the dipping of cattle.
Forrest county has not yet adopted
this system but this fact has not pre-
vented a few enterprising citizens
from building vats of their own,
which they are using regularly to dip
their cattle, with results most salts
factory to themselves.
T. j. Nixon, the efficient circuit
court clerk of Forrest county, being
unwilling to wait for the introduction
of any county ordinance on the sub
ject, early last spring built an up-to-
date tick-vat on his dairy farm just
outside the city limits, and since
then has been making regular use of
the vat for all his cattle. During that
time he has not lost single head,
nor have any of his COWS had the
fever.
A News representative visited Mr..
Mixon's farm recently to witness the
dipping process and saw a large
herd dipped in less than an hour.
The treatment is very simple and
comparatively inexpensive. Inquiry
was made as to whether any COW on
the place had been killed or made
sick by the liquid used in the vat
The manager said, mot one" "on
the contrary" said he, Improvement
in all the cattle was manifest in rap

COURT ORDERS JACK"
SULLIVAN TO STAND
After Reopenine Case, Without Mo-
ton from Council for the Purpose
Of Taking Further Testimony
Along Line Of Alleged Conspiracy.
(BV Associated FreSS J

New York, Oct. 22.-The defense
in the trial of Lieutenant Becker for
the murder of Rosenthal rested it's
case shortly after noon. Becker was
not called to the stand. Justice de-
clined to let the defense rest and re-
opened the case without a motion
from counsel in order to take further
testimony along the line of the alleg-
ed conspiracy against Becker by Rose,
Weber Vallon and Schepps. Jack"
Sullivan was called by the court.
What Sam Schepps told his friends
in Hot Springs, Ark, about the mur-
der Of Herman Rosenthal was read
into the record Monday at the trial
of Police Lieutenant Charles Becker
who is charged with instigating the
crime.
81 don't want you fellows to think
we killed a man who was of any ac-
count, Schepps told Postmaster
Johnson of Hot Springs, according to
Mr.. Johnsons testimony before the
commission sent to Hot Springs to
examine him and other persons.
THAT fellow Rosenthal was a dirty
cur. He should have been killed. l
don't want you fellows to think of
me as a common murderer"
Mr. Johnson's testimony was read
by John W. Hart, Becker's lawyer,
with the intent to support the conten-
tion that Schepps was one of the
four men who desired Rosenthals
death on his own account and con-
spired to kill him. For two hours Mr..
Hart read extracts from the testi-
mony at Hot Springs. In that which
went on record was talk between
Schepps and Michae Berkholz Of Ar
gentina, Ark, in which Schepps is al
legged to have said:
"You don't know what q dirty dog
everybody was abusing him. Why he
even wanted the gang to kill Louis
Kaufman"

tunity had been given to compare
herds of dipped and undipped milk
cows, with the result that a fourteen
cow herd that had been dipped regu-
larly all the year, is giving every day
as many gallons of milk as a herd
more than twice as large that does
not receive the treatment.
Attention is called to the fact that
no opposition to tick-vat treatment Of
cattle comes from those men who
have put their own money into the
building of vats and who are daily re-
ceiving large dividends on their in
vestment. In short, from those who
know from study and experience
what they are talking about.

CHAPTER XIX.

The Jeffries case suddenly entered
into an entirely new phase, and once
more was deemed of sufficient public
interest to warrant column after col
umn of spicy comment in the news
papers. The town awoke one morn
ing to learn that the long-sought-for
witness. the mysterious woman on
whose testimony everything hinged,
had not only been found. but proved
to be the prisoners own wife, who
had been so active In his defense.
This announcement was Supplying
enough to overshadow all other news
of the day, and satisfied the most
faded palate for sensationalism.
The first question asked on all sides
was: Why had not the wife come for
ward before7 The reason, as glibly
explained by an evening journal of
somewhat yellow proclivities, was log
zeal enough. The telling of her mid
night visit to a single mans rooms
involved a shameful admission which
any woman might we'll hesitate to
make unless forced to It as a last
extremity. Confronted, however, with
the alternative of either seeing her
husband suffer for a crime of which
he was innocent or making public &C
knowledgment of her own frailty, she
had chosen the latter course. Nat
urally, II meant divorce from the bank
ers son, and undoubtedly this was the
solution most wished for by the family.
The whole unsavory affair conveyed a
good lesson to reckless young men Of
wealth to avoid entangling them
selves IL undesirable matrimonial ad-
ventures. But II was no less certain,
went on this journalistic mentor, that
this wife. unfaithful as she had proved
herself to be, had really rendered her
husband q signal service in her pres
emit scrape. The letter she had pro-
duced, written to her by Underwood
the day before his death, In which he
stated his determination to kill him
self, was, Of course, a complete vindi-
cation for the man awaiting trial His
liberation now depended only on how
quickly the ponderous machinery of
the law could take cognizance Of this
new and most important evidence.
The new turn Of affairs was nat
urally most distasteful to the police.
II there was one thing more than
another which angered Capt. Clinton 1t
was TO take the trouble to build up
case only to have 1t suddenly demol-
ished. He scoffed at the Suicide let
ter" safely committed to Judge Brew
ster's custody. and openly branded II
as a forgery concocted by an immoral
woman for the purpose of defeating
the ends of justice. He kept Annie
prisoner and defied the counsel for
the defense to do their worst. Judge
Brewster. who loved the fray. accept
ed the challenge. He acted promptly.
He secured Annie's release on habeas
corpus proceedings and, his civil suit
against the city having already begun
In the courts, he suddenly called Capt.
Clinton to the stand and gave him

any which the police tyrant had pre-
yiously made his victims suffer. In

which public servants were charged
with abusing positions OF trust, he
