H. R. Fawks, district supervisor for
the Livestock Sanitary Commission of
Texas, returned today from Palo Pinto
town, where he went in company with
Dr. Cole and Dr. James of the Fort
Worth bureau, as expert witnesses in
the case of the State vs. G. W. McDon-
ald, charged with failure to obey the
orders and regulations of the commis-
sion in dipping cattle. According to
Mr. Fawks, the jury in the case re-
turned a verdict against McDonald and
he was fined $50 and costs In each of
two cases, or a total of nearly $150.
The case was tried in county court.
Mr. Fawks also said fhat three addi-
tional cases are pending against Mc-
Donald upon charges of violating the
quarantine regulations regarding the
movement of cattle.
According to Mr. Fawks, Mr. Mc-
Donald believes that the benefits from
dipping cattle are many and 1^, should
be done, but that he has heretofore
declined to dip and to regulate the
movement of his cattle according to
the regulations of the bureau, and this
seems to be the question before the
court each time. Dr. Cole and Mr.
Fawks testified Wednesday as expert
witnesses.
Mr. McDonald is a very wealthy cat-
tleman of Palo Pinto county, owning
a ranch of some twelve thousand acreB
adjacent to the town of Palo Pinto,
and grazes as many as eight hundred
cattle at times.

appreciation for her efficient work as
president, the committee accepted the
resifnation of Mrs. J. B. Alvis who
