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.
