MIR PETTY GETS FINE STOCK.
Secures Young Red Shorth0rns as
 Foundation for Proposed Herd.

CIV. Petty returned last Satur- day from trip to Ft. Worth. where he had spent a week on a mission to buy thoroughbred cattle which are to form the foundation for a herd he intends building up in P&k coun- ty. He bought fourteen head of young stock ranging in age from two years old and under. Of this number five are pedigreed red short horns, the male of the bunch being a descendant from Beatrice 5tb. the prize winner shorthorn COW at the Columbian Exposition. The four registered heifers are also from a splendid. strain of shorthOrns. The pedlgreed stock was bought of V. Z Jarvis a noted cattle breeder of Fort Worth. The nine others are short horn grades that have been well bred up. In this bunch there are three bulls and six heifers.
 The cattle was shipped out of Ft Worth Saturday afternoon after having been given the tuberculin test and having passed the other require ments for interstate shipments.

WILSON WINS IN
 BRANDE|S FIGHT
Confirmation of His Appointment to Supreme Court Ends One of the BittereSt Fights Ever Made
 on Presidents Nominee.

Washington. June -Coniirmation Of the nomination of Louis D. Bran deis of Boston to the supreme court to succeed the late Joseph Fucker Lamar, by vote of 47 to 2 ends one of the bitterest contests ever waged against a presidential nomi- nee. Mr. Brandeis will be the first Jew to occupy a eat on the supreme bench. Only one Democrat. Sena- tor Newlands, voted against cOnfir- nation. Three Republicans Sena- tors LaFollette, Norris and Poin- dexter voted with the Democratic majority and Senators Gronna and Clapp would have done so nuG were paired with Senators Borah and Kenyon. The negative vote of Sen tor Newlands was a complete sur prise to the senate and the NaVada senator, recognizing that his action had aroused comment, later made public formal explanation.
 l have a high admiration for Mr. Brandeis as a publicist and propa- gandist of distinction said Senator Newlands. T do not regard him as q man of judicial temperament and for that reason l have voted against his confirmation"
 Throughout the fight President Wilson stood firmly behind his nom- inee. never wavering when it seemed certain that an unfavoFable report would be returned by the senate ju- dietary committee.
 Before the committee voted he wrote a letter to Chairman Culber- son strongly urging prompt and fav- Orable action Senators who voted for confirmation Thursday included Brousard. Kore. Lea of Tennessee, Owen, Ronsdell, Sheppard, Shieids and Vardaman.
 The following pairs were an- nounced
 William with Penrose; Robinson with Burleigh.
 Senators who were not paired and who did not vote were: Clark Democrat. Sherman and Mclean tRepublicans).
 Of the senators who were paired many were absent because of the approaching Republican convention in Chicago. All absent senators had arranged to be paired in the vote, however. except Senators Clarke of Arkansas and Mclean of Connecti- cut. Senator Sherman of Illinois was paired with Senator Thompson of Kansas, but released the Kansas Senator so that he might vote
