A LARGE number of cattle have
recently died at Council Bluffs, and
parties living near Elkhorn station
lost about forty head in one night
last week. No one has been able to
define the disease or explain what
produces it, but the better opinion
and almost universal belief is that it
is caused by some kind of vegetable
poison or rotten corn the cattle have
eaten. Those who have witnessed
the death of some of the cattle say
that just before death they feebly
stagger about or stand still, quiver-
ing with tremors, succeeded by
jerkings of the limbs, rigid spasms.
and death. The citizens of Council
Bluffs have become 80 excited about
the disease and death of cattle that
they decline to use milk or beef, at
the present writing.

will probably prove mortal. Two

the shooting was done from behind
