this vicinity are considerably alarmed owe
the discovery that glanders exists in j. H
Truman's herd of range horses. Tw
horses of the herd have died within wee]
and five out of the remaining Is are sui
fering from the distressing malady. Dl
Paaren, state veterinarian, yesterday ex
amlned the diseased animals and at one
pronounced the malady glanders. TIL
glandered horses will be shot tomorrow
This herd was shipped from Montana las
June. Nineteen of the number went t.
Trenton, N. j., where two were discovered
to have glanders and were shot. DR.. Paare1
telegraphed from here to-day ordering tina
carload of horses just received at tn
Chicago stock yards be quarantined.
MIR. Truman brought number of thor
oughbred stations to Montana last sprln!
and, after selling the greater number o
them, traded the last two for herd o
range horses at Miles City last June. Thos'
are the horses referred to IN the above dis
patch. 1t IS needless to say that this dis
covery gives Montana horses a very bat
reputation in eastern markets. There i
not much doubt but what glanders Or ;
disease very similar to it has been prevalen
in Montana since last winter. Cases of i
have appeared in Livingston. At Billing
a great number of horses were affected
with the disease and it has been reported
in the Deer Lod dge valley and elsewhere il

territorial veterinarian, DR.. Keefer, said tn.

affection but many good judges insisted
that it was glanders and still insist OF
maintaining their opinion.
