A Rad Man Rounded I'm.

Yellowstone Journal: Frank Cenley is
now on his way from Nebraska with
man named Lee, who was indicted by the
last grand jury for the murder of man
named Dode Straw, whom he shot without
provocati0n in the winter of 1928 on
Box Elder. His whereabouts have been
known for long time by the officers here,
but until an indictment was had against
him no requisition could be obtained.
Frank Conley is expected to arrive Friday
or Saturday with his prisoner, who will be
incarcerated in the Jail to await trial at the
next term of court. Lee was from Texas
before he came to Montana and it is ru-
mored that there is reward of 81 900 for
him in that state for some grave offense.

Canadian Pacific Extension to Montana.
The New York Times Ottawa special
says: AS the Canadian Pacific railway
will be running in few weeks from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, it is understood
that the restrictions placed upon the con-
struction of lines from points in the North
west and Manitoba to the international
boundary, to connect with the American
railway system, will be withdrawn. In
view of this, Sir A. T. Gait, formerly Min
lister of the Dominion, gives official notice
that he will apply to Parliament next sea-
son for a charter to construct line from
the coal fields in Manitoba to the interna-
tional boundary line in the direction of
Fort Benton, Montana. The object is the
shipment of Canadian coal to Montana
and the importation of cattle from that
territory into the Dominion.

Is 1T SMUT !?
A Theory that Poisonous Smut Causes the
Sickness Among Horses.

of farrier and has lived and bred horse
in this locality long while. His theor.
| is this: that the smut which forms on th
gramma, rye and other heading grasses i
a poison that causes the sickness. In sup
port of his theory he says that he has no
ticed that horses are not affected with thi
sickness until after the range grasses hav'
formed heads and begin to smut and tha
after the high winds IN the fall have arisel
| and the smut is blown away the herd
begin to get in better condition and sucf
as have been sick recover. He thinks tht
poison affects the spine, muscles and blooe
of the animal causing the stiffness of the
limbs, difficulty of breathing, weakness
and other symptoms that mark the affec
ton. He enters into lengthy discussion
of the effects of the poison which the EN-
rERPR1sE reporter does not produce, owing
to lack of veterinary learning and conse.
quent liability to ridiculous mistakes. Mr
Bulls prescribes as remedy which he
has used with success: pint Of linseed
oil, or. of laudanum and tablespoonful
of spirits of nitre-the prescription to be
increased or diminished proportionately in
accordance with the size of the animal
It will be noticed by those who read the
letter from DR.. Keefer, territorial veterin-
arlan, that appeared in the ENTERPRISE a
few weeks ago that he regarded the disease
as the effect of poison and that, with the
exception Of the nitre, his prescription was
the same as that of Mr.. Bulls. Whether
or not the latter got his idea Of the remedy
from DR.. Keefer's letter we do not pre-
sumo to say.
We may add that in our opinion the
smut theory is very plausible one. The
well-known instance of ergot or spurred
rye is proof Of how the most wholesome
vegetable product may change 10 deadly
drug or poison by decomposition while
still growing. Smut may be of a similar
character. The much vexed question as
to the poisonous properties of johnson
grass which, an excellent forage plant in
most cases, IS clearly proven to have caus-
ed the death of cattle in few instances,
is by some theorists traced to the smut
which forms in the seed head. Different
kinds of grass might produce poisonous
smut of different properties and consequent
diverging symptoms. 1t might even be
that the disease which has been called
glanders in this territory by amateur far
riers and was described as catarrhal af-
fection by DR.. Keefer is the effect of a
vegetable poison producing the gangrenous
symptoms that are present in glanders.
Ergot poisoning in cattle is frequently
marked by gangrene. We are no veterin-
arian but as the mysteriously fatal disease
which is affecting horses in this vicinity
and elsewhere in the territory seems still
a subject for speculation we also claim
and exercise the right to theorize.
