4 PLAIN DUTY.

There no longer seems to be any
doubt among sheep men of this county
in regard to the health of the Barney"
sheep that were brought in last fall to
the number of several thousand and dis
DWibuted in small bands throughout the
county. These sheep were seabby when
they came IN and are now beginning to
show it. To protect the healthy sheep
Of the county and preserve the integrity
OF our ranges there is but one thing to
~Ao. and that is to promptly and etfectu-
ally quarantine every band Of these for
eign sheep. If this is not done at once
the diseased sheep will begin to move on
the range and the foundation will be
laid for a wide spreading Of the disease
and an embargo put upon Custer county
sheep for years to come. This is Il mat
ter hat must not be locked at lightly.
1t is too serious in its possible results To
be treated in any but serious manner.
While the Custer county inspector is
absolved from any suspicion Of willful
negligence of duty from the fact that he
was a purchaser of q part of the diseased
fiocks. he must see that his duty in the
premisesis plain and urgent, and that
he cannot delay iss ling quarantine orders
ut once. The sheepmen of this county
feel thatsthe state veterinarian is not
alive to the danger that exists and that
they can look for no aid from him and
hence their reliance on the county in
spector is doubled. A most tlourishing
industry is menaced with a disaster that
prompt and determined action can
avert. and the prosperity of the county
demands that there be no hesitation in
the matter.
