EXPENSIVE INCIDENT
QUARANTINE REGULATIONS AP-
Piled AND SHIPPER GETS
INTO MANY QUEER
COMPLICATIONS.

Omaha. Neb., Feb. 16.-Never
again when be 10Y from one state
to another will III. B. Rogers attempt
to secure a railroad pass for himself
on the strength of having a pig i'm the
car with his household effects, and
that it is necessary for him TO 90
along to feed and water the animal.
Rogers lived near Sheffield, Ill, on
the line Of the Rock Island. He pur-
chased land out in Wyoming and was
moving there, going early so to be
there and start spring work. His
new location is along the Union Pa
cific.
Both the Rock Island and the Tn
ion Pacific have rules that permit Of
the issuance of a pass to one person
if that person goes along with house
hold movables. providing there is live
stock in the car containing the goods.
Rogers got his car loaded and every
thing went well until it reached
Council Bluffs, where the discovery
was made that the shipment came
from Illinois territory that was quar-
antined against both Iowa and Ne
braska. so far as hogs were con-
cerned.
At Council Bluffs the Union Pa
cific would not receive the Rogers
car and bring it into Nebraska so long
rs it contained the pig. The quar-
antine rules prevented anything OF
the kind, and a violation would sub
ject the road to a fine Of something
like $1,000 and a Jail sentence for
the official passing the way bill.
Rogers hit upon the idea Of killing
his pig and burying II in Iowa. The
Iowa stock inspectors held that this
would be a violation of the law that
provides for neither live nor dead an
finals coming from quarantined ter
ritory shall remain within the limits
OF the state. Then there was nothing
for Rogers to do but to ship his pie
back to the Illinois point from which
Ii came. He was not permitted &c
take ii out Of the car and ship 1T as a
separate piece of freight. so the car
pig and household goods had to &c
back to Sheffield.
Emigrant rates do not apply from
Council Bluffs into Illinois. and as q
result Rogers had to pay the regular
rate and because there was live stock
in the car, he had to go along. How
ever. he did not get a pass. as there
is no provision of law covering such
contingencies.
After he gets back to Illinois and
disposes of his pig, If Rogers still de.
sires to come west. he will have tC
pay regular passenger rates. and II
he brings his household goods. the
customary rate will be applied tc
them. The upshot of the whole mat
ter up to this time has been that the
lone pig has made Rogers move cosi
him close to 500 and he is just
where he started.

STOCK RAISING GROWS
SHIPMENTS FROM THE BELLE
FOURCHE REGION EXPECTED
TO FAR EXCEED THOSE
OF 1918.

Belle Fourche, Feb. 16.-The year
1915 proved a banner n from a live
stock point of view for the settlers
owning farms on the government ir-
rigation project in the Belle Fourche
valley of South Dakota. Fruitdale,
Nisland and Newell. the stations on
the line of the Chicago and North
western railway. running through the
project shipped a total of 522 car Of
live stock during the year, most OF
which either bred or fed ON project
farms. Included in this total were
134 cars of cattle, IT cars Of horses.
207 cars Of hogs, 155 cars of sheep
and nine cars of mixed stock. The
city of Belle Fourche added a total
of SIG cars of live stock, making a
grand total of 1,09S ears originating
in the country north of WhiteWood.
The Belle Fourehe shipments We're
largely range cattle.
AS large extensions Of the project
are opened for settlement from time
to time, the producing and feeding of
live stock on farms will undoubtedly
increase. The fourth unit of over
10000 acres opened last summer,
will unquestionably do its share in
adding to the total this year as the
farms were eagerly taken up, and
the western portion of South Dakota
is noted for the quality OF its live
stock and freedom from disease.
With cheap irrigated land for the pro
duction of pasture, forage and grain,
the live stock industry promises TO
move forward in rapid strides. IL Is
interesting to note that the e%astbound
movement of live stock across Ne
braska amounted to 1896 cars dur
ing 1916, which included stock from
Wyoming and Montana in addition
to that shipped from the Belle
Fourche valley.

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS As
COMPILED by THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Feb. 16.-Special: The
whole western fighting front is the
scene of engagements. At some
points the big guns have been roar
ing necessarily for days, the infantry
have been engaged in hand TO hand
struggles; grenade fighting and min
ing operations have played a promi-
nent part i'm the battles, while airmen
have fought each other above the
lines and have been cannonaded from
below by the anti-aircraft guns.
The Germans followed up their re
cent successes In Champagne by the
capture Of an additional half mile Of
French trenches around Tahure, in
that district, and their artillery bonn
bardments in the neighborhOod of
Massiges and Nayarin have been an
swered i'm kind by the French.
TO the north Of scissors, around
Terny and along the river Aisne, the
Germans started an infantry attack,
but the French put il down.
To the south OF the Somme the
Germans endeavored to surround
outpost trenches. but desisted under
heavy fire of the French.
In upper Alsace the Germans turn
ed loose their guns on the trenches
the French had r%ecaptured from them
but the French, during the night, had
evacuated them and the Smelling did
no damage than to shatter the EN-
placements.
Seventeen fights i'm the air Is the
record of Sunday, reported officially
by the British along their lines in
Flanders. In addition there has been
great activity south of La Bassee
canal, where the Germans exploded
seven mines. Heavy bombardments
and infantry attacks in that section
also are reported. the Germans sue
ceeded i'm entering a British trench.
They were driven out almost imme-
diately.
In Albania, the Arzon river which
runs westward across central Albania
and empties into the bay Of Durazzo,
has been reached by the Austro-Hun-
garian vanguards, according to VI
emma. The Bulgarians have occupied
Elbassen, an important town in cen
tral Albania.
There have been no important
events on the eastern front, but the
Russians in the Caucasus have occu-
pied one of the Erzerum forts and
have taken large numbers of Turkish
prisoners. Several Turkish batteries
on the Trebizond coast OF the Black
sea have been silenced by the Rus
sian warships.
King Ferdinand, of Bulgaria, Vi
emma reports. has arrived TO visit En-
peror Francis Joseph. This would
seem to set at naught recent nnoffi-
cial reports that Bulgaria had asked
the entente allies for a separate
peace.
Another British cruiser has met
disaster. The Arethusa. noted for
her fighting qualities. struck a mine
and is believed TO have been totally
wrecked. Ten men lost their lives.

impossible to live in the submarine.
The plates that formed the sides of
the boat, they said, were only half an
inch thick and the heating apparatus
was inadequate.
The steward Of the Moreni glad
dened the visitors with coffee and
other hot drinks. They remained
aboard until nearly dark. Then,
after being assured by Capt. Wheeler
that none but Americans were ON the
Moreni, they went back into the sub
marine and soon disappeared under
the ice.

AVIATRIX STAR
Efforts Made to Sign Miss Ruth Law
at the State Fair.

Huron, Feb. 16.-C. n. McIlvaine,
secretary of the state fair, left for
Chicago Saturday TO sign contracts
with Miss Ruth Law, the famous avi-
atrix who astonished thousands at the
San Francisco world fair last summer
with her daring aeroplane flights.
Miss Law is the only woman flier
in the world who loops the loop, flies
upside down and otherwise emulates
such aviators as the late Pegoud,
Lincoln Beachey and Art Smith. 1t
is expected that she will be one of the
greatest attractions the state fair
ever had.

Rosenberg Fights
 To Retain Lease
 On Hoyt's Theatre


 Henry Rosenbergs brother-in-1a.w of Oscar Hamnnerstein, the New York grand opera producers, appeared be- fore Judge Webb in the superior court this afternoon to fight attempts to oust him from possession of Hoyt's theatre in Nerwalk. He asked the court to grant an Injunction restrain ing Julia Hoyt, owner of the theatre, from pressing the summary process proceedings now pending in the Nor walk city court.
 Rosenberg claims that in 1909 he leased the theatre from Julia Hoyt for $3,o0O a year. He spent $4, 500 for repairs and afterward sublet the playhouse. Other tenants com plained during the winter of the lack of heat in the building and the owner claims the lease was broken because of failure to provide heat
 a# Rosenberg alleges that it would re- quire an expenditure of s10,00o to put the theatre in proper repair and as he cannot introduce that defense in the Norwalk city court proceedings he wants an injunction so the matter can be fought out in the superior court The hearing had not been fn- ished at press hour.
