Fined $25 for Violation of Corrupt Practices Act Dr. Nordenof Lincoln, representing the prosecuting committee of the State Veterinary Medical Association, was here on Monday of this week and in accordance with evidence submit ted to the effect that J. R. Gregg of Litchfield had violated the veterina ry corrupt practices act, in that he has unlawfully engaged in the prac tice of veterinary medicine and adver tised himself as a veterinarian and using the degree conferred by a rec ognized veterinary college to which he is not entitled, instituted proceed ings against Gregg in the county court on that day, at which defendant pleaded guilty and was fined in the sum of $25. This is the second case of the kind prosecuted under this law, the first case coming up at Lincoln about two weeks since, with like result. In an interview later with Dr. Norden, he claimed these were but beginnings in numerous suits over the state, and will be prosecuted as fast as complaints are made and evi dence secured to insure positive con victions. Since the famous horse epidemic, in which such cases as in and around Red Cloud, where animals were doped with black leg medicine, resulting in the loss of 1500 horses, and in and about O’Neill, where horses were dosed, harmlessly however, with col ored water, complaints have become numerous and the prosecuting end of the state association has been stung into rapid action. It is expected from novtf on there will be numerous cases over the state. Don’t Fall To Hear The Commonwealth Male Quartette Concert Company.
