Supreme Co art Acta on Khes's Case.
The supreme court has rendered
its decision in the noted case of the
State of Nebraska vs. H. D. Rhea.
This is the case in which Mr. Rhea
was held to the district court by
Justice Turton on charee of em
bezzling a sum of money from C.
M Prutsman. Mr. 'Rhea was re
leased by County Judge Roberts on
a writ of habeas corpus. The case
waB then taken to the district
court by County Attorney Stewart
and was there heard by Judge
Grimes sitting for Judge Sullivan.
Judge Grimes reversed the decision
of Judge Roberts and sustained
that of Justice Turton. Mr. Rhea
then carried the case to the supreme
court, which has just passed upon
it, affirming the decision of Judge
Grimes in sustaining Turton and
reversing Roberts.
This places the case again as it
came from Justice Turton'a court,
(with the exception of the bond,
which Judge Grimes reduced) and
Mr. Rhea will now have to Btaud
trial in the district court, unless
some measures arc adopted satis

Cure of Corastalk Disease.
S. L. Perkins tells the Ord Times
that he has had two cases of corn
stalk poisoning in his herd, and
has cured both by the following
simple remedy: As soon as he
noticed the cattle were sick he gave
each a teakettle full of warm water
with a quart of salt dissolved in it,
and followed it in a Utile while
with five kettles of warm water for
each, recovery being rapid. The
treatment was given through a six
foot piece ol garden hose, the ani
mal's head being drawn up and the
hose held in the throat while an.
assistant poured the water into
the other end of the hose. The
remedy is inexpensive, and our
farmer friends should at least give
it a trial. The chances arc that it
will prove effectual if applied as
soon as the animals arc taken sick.
