The report comes to us that farmers
owning cattle are afraid to drive them to
town owing to the prevalence of Texas
tever in the herd of Mr. Martin, near
town. We are requested to state by Mr.
Martin and Mr.. Hinkley that there is no
danger of bringing stock to the fair. No
diseased cattle travelled over any of the
roads leading to town nor have any been
near the fair grounds, and have printed
circulars to the effect that there is no dan
ger The onh; danger that exists in
cases of this kind is where native cattle
come in contact with the grass on which
the Texas cattle have pastured. Prof
Gambee, who has held post mortcm ex-
animation on over 5000 head, states that
the Texas cattle may be in one herd and
natives in another with only fence be
tween them, and the disease will not be
taken, and as there has been no deaths in
the herd Of Mr.. Martin in over week,
the danger is past The officers of the
fair are gentlemen and farmers who reside
in the county, and they certainly would
not wish farmer to bring his stock to
town if danger existed.
