IN OUR OWN MIDST.
The Foot and Mouth Disease Makes Its
Appearance in Lyon County.
Four Cows Belonging to Jimmie O'Tosls,
nf .Iackann Tnunahin a Rarfal


-Four Cows Belonging to Jimmie O'TOsls.
of jackson Township. Affected.
The rumor was circulated Monday
among stock men that the foot and
mouth disease had made its appearance
among the cattle of jimmie O'Toole re-
siding in Jackson township, about four
miles north of Neosho Rapids. Veteri-
nary Surgeon White was Immediately
detailed to make an investigation
and returned at about 9 O'Clock in the
evening and reported that he had visited
the premises and had found four COWS
afflicted With the contagion which had
nearly run its course and that the ami
mails were now beginning to recover.
The disorder had manifested itself about
Christmas, and Mr.. O'Toole, under the
impression that the parts affected had
been frozen, had penned up the cattle in
8 close stable apart from his other stock
and none of the balance of the herd con-
tracted the disease. One of the COWS
has lest one foot and the other three
two feet each. They are all feeling well
low and are gaining nesh.
Some days ago Mr.. O'Toole had 3
sale and about sixty head of cattle be-
longing 10 him were purchased by per-
sons living in different parts OF the
county. None of the cattle sold had ex-
hibIted any symptoms of the contsgion,
and it is hoped that as they escaped SO
long after exposure to it on the
premises they will not now be at
tackled. A committee consisting of
T. J. Price, N. W. Brewer. D. w.
Holderman, Aft Roberts and Drs. Will
hite and Bird was appointed to visit the
premises and consult with Mr.. O'Toole
and take such action as may be deemed
necessary to meet the exigencIes of the
situation. The history of the cases at
the O'Toole farm indicate that the dis
ease can be easily kept within pre-
scrihed limits by proper precautions, and
there is reason to hope that it will not
spread further in this county.
