The Effort Making to Guard against Their

The commissioner of agriculture has issued
the following circular: "My attention has re-
Gently been directed to the fact that various
states and territories have prohibited the in
PRODUCTION of Texas cattle because of the al

mental to the cattle industry of the whole
state of Texas, and | am informed by the chief
of the bureau of animal industry and by many
others acquainted with the subject that the
cattle from a considerable part of this state do
not communicate such diseases and are not
sources of danger to the cattle of other states.
Therefore, to secure reliable and abundant in
formation as to the limits of that portion of
Texas from which cattle may be safely taken
to other states without restrictions the com
missiOners request the cattle men of the Vari-
Gus grazing counties in Texas to send an an
swer to the questions appended, directed to
the bureau of animal industry, department of
agriculture, at Washington.
First-Havc you purchased any bulls or
other cattle, or do you know of any that have
been brought from north of the south line of
Kansas to your vicinity or to any part OF the
counties named! If so. state the number and
location as near as possible to which they were
taken, and the number, if any, which died OF
acclimat on.
Second-Do you know of any case in which
cattle from the eastern counties of Texas have
been taken to the counties named in the spring
or summer months and allowed to pasture on
the same ranges with cattle native to these
counties! If so, state if any disease occurred
among the native cattle and give the symp-
toms and numbers affected as far as possible.
The commissioner then says: If the cattle
men of the district referred to unite in send
ing this information at once it is hoped that it
will be possible to secure modification of
the restrictions now placed upon the Texas
cattle trade to such an extent as to bring great
relief NORMAN COLEMAN,

SAD ACCIDENT.

Falls and Fractures His Skull.

Falls ana Fractures His Skull.
The picnic at Vanzandt's grove
yesterday morning attracted many
little ones, and by $3.50 o'clock they
were being crowded into the vehicles
to be conveyed to the grounds. The
driver Of one of the buses that was
loaded with ladies and children
stopped on Rusk street to take on lit
tie Johnnie Lyle, whom he knew.
a number OF the boys were on top OF
the bus, and were cautioned as TO
their danger by the driver, who was
one of long experience, but were al.
lowed to remain there until thew
reached the steep hill near the trestle
and ON the road to the ground. Here
ali were forced to get inside EXCEPT
two large boys who occupied the seat
with the driver, and as little Johnnie
protested so against going inside, and
the large boys proffered to take care of
and hold him, the driver consented to
his remaining there. Everything
went well until they had passed the
railway trestle and were jogging along
the new road, which, though smooth,
had grown up with weeds in places.
Suddenly the front axle of the bus
grazed stump that stood in the mid.
die OF the road and was entirely
hidden in bunch of weeds,
and at the same instant boy on horse
back galloped by and brushed against
the near horse, which caused him to
jump and shy Off to one side. This,
together with the slight Jar occasioned
by striking the stump, caused the
larger boys to inadvertently loosen
their hold upon the child, and he was
thrown forward. under and in front of
the heels of one OF the horses, and be-
fore the driver, who sprang from his
seat, could reach him, the horse had
struck him.
The bus was Immediately tUrned
around and the insensible child brought
to town with the least possible delay.
They drove at once TO DIR. Moore's
office, where the wound was dressed
by DR.. Moore, assisted by DIR. Beall.
The wound proved to be in the
frontal bone on right side, near the
corinal suture, and abont three-fourths
by one inch In size. Eight pieces of
bone were extracted, and after the
wound was dressed the little fellow
was carried home.
He is resting very well and the doc
tors have some hopes of his recovery.
The accident occurred about o'clock,
or half an hour after they had left the
city.
