UNLAWFUL TO SHIP
DISEASED BEES

Atlantic, July 30.-Bee diseases have
been scattered over large portion OF
Iowa by the shipment Of diseased bees
and second hand equipment from dis
eased apiaries Of other states.
The last legislature passed law
making 1t a misdemeanor to ship dis
eased beese into the state and also pro-
hibiting common carriers from accept
ing shipments Of bees for delivery at
Iowa points unless they be accompan-
led by a certificate Of health signed by
some duly authorized state or COVER
ment inspector. This law is now In
force and Frank c. Pellet, Atlantic,
Ia, the state bee inspector Is taking
steps to see that its provisions are en-
forced. Mr.. Pellet believes that this
law will be OF material assistance in
checking the further spread Of bee dis
eases in this state. Car load lots Of bees
as well as smaller shipments have been
coming from distant points, but there
has been no authority heretofore to
prevent them from coming into Iowa
even though they were known to be
diseased. "

From Wednesdays Daily.
| AT the request OF Attorney General
Cosson, an attempt will be made to
complete the hearing for the temper.
airy INJUNCTION asked by John w.
Rowley of KeosauQua, today. Attor.
neys on both sides are rushing their
pleas, and indications are that the
trial will be completed tonight. ~
Urgent business in Des Moines caus.
ed the attorney general to make this
request. In his statement to the court
he asked that he be allowed to make
his closing remarks this afternoon,
and that any further remarks that the
plaintiffs attorneys have to make
could be. heard at their liberty. He
stated that 1t was not his desire to
rush them through their arguments.
Mr.. Cosson by telling the court that
they would shorten their arguments,
and allow the attorney general all the
time that he desires this afternoon.
The discussion of the validity Of
changing the present case from one of
a temporary Injunction I'd that OF a
permanent injunction was also dis
cussed this morning. Attorneys for
both sides seem of the opinion that
only temporary injunction can be
asked of Judge Hunter at this time, as
he is on his vacation and hearing the
case only as Judge, and not as court.
VIM. McNett of this city occupied
the floor this morning until 1880 at
which time he was succeeded by ]. G.
Calhoun of Keosauqua.
Many Of the friends Of Judge J. G.
Mitchell are today mplimenting him
on the physical showing that he made
yesterday afternoon. Judge Mitchell
has passed the sixty-second milestone,
yet he argued before the court for
three hours and Ave minutes during
the hottest part Of the day. He stated
this morning that he has made but
two arguments of longer duration dur
ing his long years Of practice.
Attorneys for both sides have work
ed hard in the present hearing. and
their desire to have the matter Of an
injunction OF this nature finished at
this hearing is only natural. Should
the court feel that he is not empower !
I'd to grant further than temporary |
it will mean that the entire
ground will have to be gone over again 7
1t the regular term Of court. which
opens on August rs.

Malta Lost to Havre

The Malta ball team went to
Havre Sunday where they played a
game of ball with the team of that
place and which was won by the
Havre team by score of l2 to l.
When all is taken into consideration
our team did not do to bad as the ell
tire bunch of ball players on the
Havre team are salaried men and
most of them have held positions in
league teams and they do nothing
else but play ball.
In the first inning First Baseman
Blnmenthal had the misfortune to
wrench his knee which put him out
OF the game that day and in all
probabilities keep him out 70 the rest
of the summer. Shortstop Jones was
unable to get away from his work at
Vandalia and with these two men
out our team was greatly weakened.
Holmes who pitched the first five
innings was in no condition when he
went in the box as he had been sick
all week and he was relieved bv
Smith who has game ankle.
Taking everything into considera-
ton our team was the weakest they
have been this season and went up
against the strongest team i'm the
state outside the league teams.

Help In Land Office

Congressman John M. Evans con-

and expeditions administration of
land affairs. He has recently COM
piled statement showing the con-
dition of all the land offices in the
State of Montana, and as result
found the Offices at Havre, Miles
City, and Glasgow congested with
business due largely to the influx Of
immigration to those sections of the
state. He laid the matter before
the Commissioner of the General
Land Office and obtained an order
for additional help at these three
offices, the commissioner advising him
that assistance would Je detailed to
these three Offices by the first of June
The register and receiver from all
other land offices reported their busi-
ness in good condition., except the
office at Helena where the register
and receiver declined to furnish any
information, unless called for by the
Secretary of the interior or the Com
missioner of the General Land Office.
And therefore, of course, Mr.. Evans
could not render the Helena Office
any assistance.

Malta Will Celebrate

At meeting of the Commercial
Club last Saturday night it was de-
cided to celebrate the fourth of July
at Malta this year and the different
committees were appointed by Mr..
Barnes, president of the club. The
committee on general management
and the one who will have entire
charge of the day is composedof 6 "A.
Wilmert. Harry Cosner and Nanny
Sklower. The soliciting committee
met Tuesday morning and made a
canvass of the town and secured funds
to insure one of the best if not the
best celebrations that Malta ever had.
The program is very extensive
one and will be printed in full next
week after all the details are worked
out. The question of getting band
is the hardest one to gel around and
it is possible that the band from some
of the neighboring towns will have
to be secured as the Malta band has
not organized and practiced this
year. The city council has granted
permission to the management to
have display of fireworks in the
evening. The races will have to be
pulled off on the streets as the old
race track has been cut up in city
lots and in some instances there are
buildings erected on it.
Malta is going to give the people
of the surrounding country one of the
best times this year that money can
secure and there will be nothing left
undone and she wants everyone tc
make arran gements to celebrate with
u.s. Commence to get ready now
and speak to your neighbor about it
Be booster and live one. Lei
everyone know that Malta is to cele.
brate and that it is the only place to
have a good time.

Horse Thieves Caught

Last Thursday afternoon the
officers here were notified to be on
the look out for a couple of horse
thieves that had been operating
around Chinook and later in the day
they were arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Casady and Marshal Wolfe. Martin
Olson knew the horses and at once
informed the officers of their being
here and one of the liveliest chases
followed that can be imagined. The
two officers started after their quarry
in an automobile but owing to rough
reads, mud and fences they were un-
able to gain on them and in fact had
a hard time to keep in sight.
On the banks of Milk river just
west of town they abandoned the
horses and started across the country
on foot and were soon taken i'm hand
by the officers, who landed them in
Jail. The deputy sheriff from Chinook
and man from farm from which
the horses were stolen came down
the same evening and identified the
horses and thieves.
They were both young fellows, one
a boy of about Is years of age and
the other about twenty-five or three.
1t seems too bad when boy gets in
bad company and gets into a scrape
like this as it may mean a trip to
the penitentiary and at least it puts
| a cloud on his entire career.

Mayor Caselberg in Wreck

The Great Falls Tribune of Mon
day told of a wreck of the Oriental
Limited at Moorhead. Mimi, and
among the list of injured was Mr..
Caselberg of this city. 1t was known
that Mr.. and Mrs. Caselberg were
on their way home from St. Paul and
when this news reached the city
there was great anxiety felt for the
safety of our mayor and his wife. No
word bad been received from them
since their leaving the Twin Cities.
When the belated train arrived it
was found that the two had been in
the wreck but that neither was in
jured in the least as they were in the
dining car when the accident
happened. Mr.. and Mrs. Caselberg
were besieged by their numerous
friends upon their arrival here to find
out just how bad they were hurt and
all were highly pleased to find out
they had escaped injury. Phil has
improved some in health since going
away and it is expected that he will
soon be back i'm his usual form, at
least it is hoped for by his host of
friends and acquaintances.
