IN CASS COUNTY
Disease Affecting Cattle Of the
State Will Be Eradicated
Under Present Plans
HOG CHOLERA TAKEN UP
Members of State Livestock
Board Broaden Regulations
to Combat Sickness

Plans for the eradication of tuber-
culosis in cattle in Cass county which
will ultimately include the entire
state until every herd in North Da-
kota is free from this disease were
the most important feature of the
quarterly meeting of the state live
stock board which was held here
Wednesday. ,...--.. -. -.
The members Of the board, after
comforting with DR.. w. F.. CreWe, state
veterinarian, decided that instead OF
attempting to cover the entire state
in the campaign to isolate and eradi-
cate tuberculosis among cattle, the
work would be confined to circum-
scribed area. Cass county was pick
ed as the first field for the campaign
and from this section the board will
extend this activity until it has COW
cred every county in the state.
Government Cooperating
There will be four veterinarians as
signed to the work, two being fur.
nished by the United States bureau OF
animal husbandry and two by the
state livestock board. These workers
|.vill start the first OF, February in
Cass county. This county was choos
en- because it is one Of the Oldest set
tied counties in the state, the i've
stock men there are familiar with the
plan and will cooperate in the work,
the facilities arc better and there is
more work to be done in that cOnnty.
The state board will cooperate with
the federal government in obtainin"
for North Dakota more accredited
herds. In this connection Dr.. Crewc
states that this section COMPARES "a
vorably with any Of the middle west
ern states in the matter Of affected
cattle and that it ranks third in the
number of accredited herds. j. c. herds
entirely free from tuberculosis by pos
tive test. and ranks first in the num-
ber Of herds tested for tuberculosis.

Attorney General Tells Neigh.
bOrs of Late NJ. X. Bowen b.
of Murder Case

GOLVA, N. D.. Jan. 1G.-1n the
presence of old friends and neighbors
of NJ. X. Bowen. who was killed at
his ranch near here last summer by
constabes who included ncighbOring
ranchcrs, Attorney General LANCER, ut
whose door the Townlcy administra-
tion has laid charge Of cOntributOry
negligence, this afternoon reviewed
the tragedy from beginning to end, and
denounced what he declared to be
an effort upon the part of the adj
ministration to make political capital
out Of the unfortunate affair. He
condemned Governor Frazier for the
removal of States Attorney Gallagher
and Sheriff Piefsina, upon evidence
which the attorney general declared
did not warrant such executive. &c
ton and challenged the Townley
press to substantiate the charges
which it made against LANCER and
other officials in connection with an
alleged cattle poisoning mystery which
preceded the killing of Bowen in an
alteration over cattle which he had
impounded. ,...
ut was along with this manufaC-
tured cloud of accusations against me
that every Townley paper carried the
headlines that I should be impeach-
ed," said LANCER. But today in those
same newspaper nothing is being said
about the Bowen cattle poisoning. The
special session of the legislature has
met and adjourned. There was the
opportunity for which the men who
had charged me with failure to per-
form my duty in connection with this
case had lead you to believe they
were dreaming. Yet never during that
entire session was the slightest action
taken in connection with the Bowen
case. A single vote by those men,
and all the records would have been
spread before them, and the concealed
derelictions of duty. had there been
any, brought to the light of day
Mr.. LANCER described the events
leading M to the tragedy and asked
the friends and ncishbors of M. X.
Bowen to judge for themselves as to
whether he, the attorney general, haG
been derelicted in his duty.

SITUATION ANTICIPATED l..
The situation which now confronts

months or more the Bolshcviki have
had an almost unbrOken series Of sue
ccsses which had swept them forward
