HOOPER HERE
ISSUES REPRIEVE
George Rose, the Aged McMinn
County Murderer, is Given
Another Respite.

Governor Hooper and daughter, Miss
Anna B., arrived in Newport Saturday
morning for brief stay with Mrs.
Hooper and the family at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. b. ID. Jones. The gov
ernor, who has been at Mooresburg
Springs for several weeks, stated that
his health was somewhat improved
and that he only intended to remain
here a few days, after which he would
return TO Mooresburg.
The governor, shortly after his ar
rival here, received telegram from
some one interested in Old Man Rose,
the aged murderer of McMinn county,
who was sentenced to hang Monday
morning at day break. The telegraE
begged the governor, "For Heaven s
sake reprieve Rose until can see YOU"
The governor announced that he had
already reprieved Rose, having sent a
telegram to the warden of the peniten-
tiary the morning of his arrival here.
Rose is the man who, with others,
brutally murdered man named Mils
ler in McMinn county, son of the
murdered man also being implicated
in the deed. The governor has deter
mined that young Miller and the
Others implicated should be brought to
trial before Rose swings, and has once
before reprieved Rose, awaiting the
circuit court in McMinn county. The
case was put off at that time, it being
apparent that the authorities of Nc
Mimi county were more anxious to
have Rose hanged before bringing the
other defendants to trial, and thus
Rose gets his second reprieve which
will carry him over the next term of
court, at which time it is understood
that the other defendants will be
brought to trial.

STRANGE MALApY
Is KILLING HORSES

Tne farmers Of Ness county, Kans.
alarmed over the loss Of several hun
dred horses which have died from a
mysterious malady, have appealed to
scientists and veterinarians for reyef
The disease has appeared during the
last week. DR., A. T. Kinsley. path.
ologist Of the Kansas City Veterinary
college, returned to Kansas City Mon
day after a tour Of Ness county, dur
ing which he consulted with DR.. Hos
lam, pathologist at the Kansas Agri-
cultural college, and several other
veterinarians Of the state.
Il believe that the farmers are ki,l
ing their horses by giving them medi
cine internally to cure a form of mold
caused by the rank grass declared
DIR. Kinsley. The horses began 70
die a'week ago The grass, after a
long dry spell, sprang up rank, follow.
Ing the recent heavy rains. | be.
heye that the horses became affected
by a form of mold. The symptoms
resemble sleepy staggers. One farmer
near McCracken, who had twenty
horses, lost nineteen of them. A cen.
tractor, who had several head within
ten yards of horses dying from the di.
sease, did not allow his horses 10 eat
'he grass and did not lose any. | be-
heye that the mold is not severe
enough to kill, If farmers will let vet
srinarians treat the animals. The
mold, If that is what it is, causes par
alysis Of the throat muscles and con-
gesticO of the brain. The farmer
gives the animal oil or some medi.
cine which it cannot swallow, and il
dies from mechanical pneumonia. as
the medicine goes to the lungs. 1t
ought to be given under the skin
rnd BY some one who knows how to
DTeat the animal.''
= DR.. Kinsley said that there are
number Of mOlds which cause similar
sickness among animals. The disease,
he said, is confiEed to Ness county,
and will be stamped out If the farm
ers will quit giving internal treat.
