Mu.t Dip Cattle

Friday at Bismarck a hearing was
held in the injunction proceedings
instituted by DR.. Rice Of Cannon
ball, against j. F. Giegold, acting
superintendent Of the Standing Rock
reservation. The injunction was
brought to restrain the superinten-
dent Of the reservation from dipping
cattle belonging to the plaintiff.
After hearing the arguments Of
the attorneys Judge Nuessle dis
solved the injunction, and held that
the dipping Of the cattle was neces-
sary for the eradication Of scab
which is prevalent in this section,
and even though the cattle did not
have the scab they had been expos
ed and dipping was timely pre-
caution to prevent further spread
and in the interest Of public safety.
P. F. Rice, who has a small herd
OF prize thoroughbred Holstein
cattle refused to drive his cattle the
distance Of twenty miles to tank
and dip them where all breeds and
all kinds had been dipped.

GERMANS EARNEST
IN SEEKING COTTON
Promise That None Bought Here
Will Go to Government.

Berlin, Sept. .s.-German cotton men
are taking up in earnest the plan to
rurcnase American cotton. They sent
a wireless to the German Consulate in
New York on August 81. offering TO
buy 900. 900 bales of the staple at Is
cents n pound on delivery in German
harbor. The message was signed by
the Deutsche. Dresdner and Disconto
banks Of Berlin, and the National Bank
of Bremen.
The intending purchasers, through
the president Of the Bremen Chambers
Of Commerce, assured the consulate and
the Embassy az Washington. that they
were in a position 20 provide adequate
guarantees that the cotton would not
be used for military or naval purposes,
but purely industrially. They added
that thu military and naval authorities
had on hand cotton covering over two
wears. and that cotton for explosives
was not included in this, as new pro-
eesses and substitutes had enabled the
government to dispense with the use Of
cotton for explosives.
