Good Promises.

Convey Moore and Sterling Fid-I

Arthur Evans, of the old 18th,
were arrested last Friday by
Sheriff J. E. Martin, charged
with destruction of the cattle
dipping watts in those old die,
tricts, were carried before Esq.
R. E. Owen for a preliminary
hearing and gave bondfor their
appearance before Esq. Owen, at
Warrens Bluff on Friday of this
week. It was the intention of
the State, county and Federal
authorities to push prosecution
against the offenders, but there
seems this week a disposition to
make compromise with the par
ties named, on certain conditions
that the watts be restored, that
all cattle in those sections be
dipped in compliance with the
law and that in future the men
who were arrested, instead of
being yiolators Of the law, assist
in the laws enforcement. In
fact, we hear that the men,
Moore, Fiddler and Evans, have
themselves made such q PROPOSE.
tion as the basis ON which they
ask Dismissal of the charge
against them. The Progress
joins in the wish that the matter
may be compromised aud that
all may hereafter join in seeing
that the law is enforced and that
the cattle quarantine burden
may as soon as possible be lifted
from the county.

ask anything from the d. U. r. other
than disposition on the part of the
