HURTS CATTLE CON.
DEMNED AND KILLED

Five hundred head of cattle be-
longing to ]. l.. Hurt of Center and
about hundred steers and eighty
hogs owned by another stockman
were slaughtered at Ell Dorado,
Kansas, Monday by government and
state officials when they had de-
termined that the animals were suf-
fering with the dreaded "hoof and
mouth" disease. A mammoth
trench was dug, 500 feet long, 18
feet wide and feet deep, and the
dead animals were placed in this and
covered with 10000 pounds of
quicklime.
Hurts cattle were shipped from
Cutter, N. NJ, in November and fed
at Amarillo, Wellington and Wichita
before they arrived at Pontiac over
the Missouri Pacific. The veterin-
arians do not believe the stock
could have brought the disease with
them or it would have manifested
earlier.
The loss of the owners is nominal
as the government will allow beef
value for the condemned cattle.
A rigid quarantine has been es-
tablished temporarily to obliterate
every vestige of the disease from the
infected area.

The house Tuesday passed two
bills of considerable interest to the
people of the state. The first makes
it a misdemeanor punishable by
fine, for anyone to permit water to
overflow on the public highway.
County commissioners and road
.overseers all over the state have Tor
a number of years experienced the
difficulty of preventing some farm
ers from flooding the roads.
The second bill provides that the
state treasurer, whose bond is
$1,O00,0O0, may give either surety
bond or personal bond. That is
that citizens whom would be ac-
cepted may go the treasurer's BOND
The treasurer's tond costs $2,5oo
a year. 1t has been customary for
certain Denver banks to pay this
amount and in return the treasurer
was supposed, and did as a matter OF
fact, keep the state funds In TINS
particular bank. This VIII remedy
this evil.

STATE MILITIA ARRANGED
IN THE REPORT

A sCathing arraignment of the
Colorado militia for its treatment of
striking miners and their families is
contained in voluminous report
submitted to the house Tuesday by
mines and mining subcommittee
which investigated conditions in
the Colorado coal fields under res
olution adopted year ago in Jan
uary. The report says:
''It SENS the militia was on the
side of the operators in this contro-
versy, and the evidence seems con-
clusively to prove such to have been
the case.
"The recruiting of mine guards as
members of the militia, in our judg-
ment, was a mistake, since intense
animosity had existed for some time
between the mine guards and min
ers.
There were acts of brutality test
ified to before the committee which
might be enumerated; men on slight
provocation were thrown into Jail
and kept there without the oppor-
tunity of proving their innocence. y
The committee appeals for arbi-
tration in such situations. 1t de-
clares that these disturbances are
nationwide in their Importance; !;
that the federal government is the
only power competent to deal with
them.

Figures Disclose Remarkable Showing

According to figures recently compiled by Sec
retary of State Ramer, the vote on State and Con-
gressonal candidates on last November shows some
remarkable features.
These statistics covering the twenty-one coun-
ties comprising the Third Congressional district dis
close the fact that Congressman Heating led the
Democratic ticket by very wide margin The vote
cast for the Democratic candidates for the four
leading offices follows:
Patterson for Governor - 27 389
Thomas for U. S. Senator - 3O5l1
Farrar, for Attorney General l3 2,377
keating for Congressman ............37,19l
1t will be noted that Heating poed ten thous-
and more votes than Patterson, seven thousand
more votes than Thomas; and, most surprising of
all, perhaps, almost five thousand more votes than
Attorney General Farrar

 The above order is the outgrowth of complaint filed with Judge Brown, by the editor of the Cordova Alaskan, that these gambling devices were be- ing conducted here. in violation of section 2O23 of the Compiled Laws of Alaska. The court referred the mat ter to the District Attorney with in structions to investigate into the mat ter and take what action he deemed necessary.
