What is the Timberland leased for.. lumber / posts or other ?..
We also have those who rent grazing land for horses, sheep
and cattle.
Many share crop. We have a lot of wealthy people who own
many acres here and hired people move on the farm and farm for
them.
In Kansas, just a few miles north, many people are moving out
of Wichita and renting and buying farm homes, some for
living and some for week end getaways. It is hard to find
a good farm home here. Most are run down because the owners
have retired and moved to town. Two of our sons live on two
of our farms. We are in the process of giving them 10 acres
with the houses and out buildings so they can do their own
thing.
We have a wild life refuge 10 miles away, so this is a great
hunting spot in OK. (Not on the refuge though LOL)
Linda and Lois,
Out west here, lots of ranchers lease,
timberland from the timber co. or
land from BLM for grazing. There is no way they could make
a profit without
more grazing land for their cattle.

Deputies mysteriously sickened after stopping car
The Associated Press
3/13/03 12:35 PM
POMEROY, Ohio (AP) -- Two sheriff's deputies had to be
hospitalized after they mysteriously became sick while searching
the car of three people suspected of having drugs.
A dispatcher also became ill and had to be hospitalized after
talking with another officer who took one suspect into custody.
All three have been released from Pleasant Valley Hospital in
Point Pleasant, W.Va. Why they became sick is a mystery to
authorities.
Meigs County deputies Kevin Dugan and Adam Smith stopped the car
on state Route 124 east of Pomeroy on Sunday night. They
suspected the car was being used as a methamphetamine
laboratory.
Dugan, 36, immediately became nauseated when he began searching
the car and went into convulsions. Smith, 24, began to cough
heavily and his head began to throb.
Later, Pomeroy police dispatcher Gene Chaney, 49, developed
chest pains and a rash after talking with patrolman Nathan
Lather, who showed no symptoms after taking one suspect to jail.
"It's really scary," Sheriff Ralph Trussell said on
Wednesday.
"We have no idea what it was. We suspected meth, but we
couldn't find anything in the car that led to that. Chemicals
could be in the seats or carpeting. We kicked that around but
still don't know anything for sure."
State agents have examined the car and doctors at the hospital
have conducted toxicology tests on the men.
The vehicle, a cruiser used to transport one of the people in
the car and an ambulance have been quarantined as has Lather's
clothing. Pomeroy police Chief Mark Proffitt ordered the
professional cleaning of two patrol cars used by Lather.
Pomeroy is about 80 miles southeast of Columbus along the West
Virginia state line.

THE
COGDON TRIAL
The trial of Willis CONGDON for the murder of William BUSH,
October 7th, began
before
Judge KNOWLES, last Wednesday. the trial was in progress
three days. Col.
ALBAN,
Prosecuting Attorney, and Judge LOOMIS conducted the prosecution
and
Messrs.
SIBLEY and OLDHAM were counsel for the defense. Most of
the testimony did not vary materially from that already
published except that it was more fully brought out by the
lawyers. The statements of the doctors were carefully
noted and the defense here succeeded in introducing enough
testimony to throw a doubt in the minds of the jury as to
weather CONGDON's blow was the direct cause of BUSH's death.
The prisoner was ably defended and when the jury retired, Friday
afternoon, after being charged at some length by Judge KNOWLES,
they returned a verdit, that evening, of assault and battery
only.
This verdict has met with almost
unanimous disapproval on the street, through some of the lawyers
surmised that this would be the verdict before the jury retired.
The jurymen, we understand, defend themselves on the ground that
the doctors' testimony was not positive enough as to the
course of BUSH's death. The substance of it is that the
defense succeeded in raising a doubt, and the jury gave the
prisoner the benefit of the doubt. The verdict of the
public is that CONGDON deserved convictions for manslaughter,
and with is opinion are mingled expressions of pity for him.
No one believes he intended to kill, yet they feel that human
life is too precious to be trifled with and that the evidence
fully warranted a severer verdict. The jury, however, felt
that safety was on the more coutious side.
