Council BLUFFS, Aug. 27.-Great ex-
element exists among many farmers in the
northern townships of this county. Sew
eral weeks ago quite a large bunch of
cattle were brought into this section rep
resented as coming from a territory
north of the Missouri and Kansas lines,
and not Texas cattle by any means.
They were put in pasture for several days.
and several farmers bought them at reason
able prices, as the cattle looked in good
condition. Native cattle which came i'm
contact with them have now begun to die
with every symptom of Spanish
fever and native cattle along the
trail where the strangers were driven are
also stricken, showing by ali signs that the
strangers were Texans and that Iowa farm
ers have been imposed upon. Local boards
of health are moving i'll the matter and the
state authorities having this particular sub
iect in charge have been notified so that
they may take steps to localize the trouble.
