INDIANA'S CATTLE DISEASE.
DR.. Salmon Says that 1t Is Not Pleuro-Pneu-
mOnia, and Is Not Contagious.

DR.. Salmon, chief of the Bureau of Animal
Industry, has made a thorough investigation oil
the supposed pleuro pneumonia in northern In
diana, and has pronounced the disease not pneu-
monia at all. It is he claims, the 'hush" or
horse, parasitic bronchitis. The disease, he
says, is not contagious and there need be nc
further alarm among the stock men of the State
over its spreading. The disease is caused by the
irritation in the windpipes, bronchial tubes and
lungs ny parasite named scientifically strong
lys. The disease is very fatal to stock in many
parts of the country, and especially in the East,
where the affected cattle Of this State came
from. The worms generally attack calves under
one year old, and especially such as are pastured
in low-lying lands near river, or land that has
been subject to overflow. It is most prevalent
in August and September. The disease is a
difficult one to treat, and generally has to run
its course. Since the stock mon, who killed all
OF their CATTLE have learned that the disease was
mot pleuro-pneumonia, they regret their hasty
action. and will endeavor to get the Legislature
to reimburse them for their loss, as the killing
of the cattle was ordered by the authorities.
The State Board of Health yesterday was
notified that disease which ia supposed TO be
OF the same character has broken out in Clay
and Putnam counties, and that twenty head of
cattle are affected. Drs. Salmon and Metcalf
will investigate the matter at once. The disease
was never known to exist in this State before
Dr. Salmon says it is the same disease that
affects chickens, and is known as 'gapes."

A FIREMAN'S SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Fremont Taffe Badly Crushed Under a
Wrecked Engine While Driving to Fire.

In going to fire on North Alabama street,
last evening, Fremont Taffe, driver of No. en-
CINE. met with serious accident At the cor
ner of North and Illinois streets wagon scales,
that have been out OF repair for some time, set
out into the street. Mr.. Taffe was driving his
team at the usual break-neck speed, when he ran
into the scales. The platform gave way and Mr..
Taffe was thrown from his seat. He held to the
lines, however, and was pulled under the engine,
one of the near wheels passing over his legs,
breaking them both, the left below the knee and
the right just below the hip. He was dragged
a considerable distance. and his body was badly
bruised. When he finally released his hold Of
the lines the horses dashed down North street TO
Meridian, when they broke loose from the engine
and ran through picket fence into a citizens
yard Mr.. Taffe was unconscious when picked
up and was taken to his home, No. 50 Elizabeth
street. where his injuries were given surgical at
tention. The physicians pronounced his condi-
ton very serious, but think there is chance for
his recovery.
The fire was in the broom factory Of Perry e.
Prince, in the rear of No. 1873 North Alabama
street. and was extinguished without much loss.

F0RGER LESTER INDICTED.
A Chicago Uncle of the Young Bridegroom
Causes Him To Be Prosecuted.

Michael e. Marks, of the detective force OF the
Chicago police, yesterday came after William
Lester. the Washington forger and took him to
that city last night. Young Lester has been in
dicted by the grand jury of Cook county for OBJ
tanning money under false pretense. The young
man and his bride arrived in that city Nov. 5,
and stopped with an uncle of Mrs Lester, Mr..
Henry Smith. Mr. Smith had never met the
young man before, and was much pleased with
his appearance. The second day he was there
Lester asked Mr.. Smith to cash check for $50.
and the request was complied with. The check
was on Neal & Estridge, of Washington. Mr..
Smith cashed it at the National Bank of Chicago,
which sent it to q bauk in Washington for
collection, where it was protested. When the
Chicago bank received notice of the protest they
went to Mr.. Smith. and he in turn asked the
young man about the matter. Lester claimed
the check had been given him by friend in pay
ment Of debt, and if it was forgery he knew
nothing about it. Mr. Smith demanded the
money back, and Lester, to quiet him, gave him
a check on the First National Bank of Topeka
Kan, for $l15. Mr.. Smith questioned its gen.
uineness. and. as proof that it was good, Lester
the bank, showing that he had that amount on
deposit. The next day after this transaction,
Lester and his wife left the city and Mr.. Smith
becoming uneasy about the validity of his check,
telegraphed the Topeka bank, and was notified
that it had no account with any such man as
Lester. Detective Marks is of the opinion that
there are several cases yet to hear from.
