notified that CHAMBERS existed in the county, and
he sent for DR.. Metcalf, secretary of the
State Board Of Health, of Indianapolis, who
came, and brought DR.. Pritchard, vet
Urinary surgeon, with him. In company
with Drs Morris, Gillum and Cross, he visited
the farms of Mrs. Wesley Jessup, George Swain

exist. They found it affecting two horses at
Jessup's, two at Swaim's, and mule belonging
to Frank Payne, of Rockville. These were all
pronounced genuine cases, and the animals have
been slaughtered. The horses were worth, Oh
an average, $l35, and the mule cost Mr.. Payne
$234 so. The disease is supposed to have been
brought to this county by horse that was pur
chased from one of the city livery stables in
