The Receht Shipment of Texas Cattle TO
Lyon County. Kan.
WASHINGTON. April 27.-The depart
ment of agriculture has been apprised
of the fact that some cattle had been
shipped to Lyon county, Kan, from
Pecos county. Tex, and also that the
farmers of Lyon county seriously OBJ
jected to the unloading of the cattle for
the reason that the cattle are likely to
spread Texas fever in the locality. 1t
was also stated that the cattle were
owned by Joel Baker, of Saline county,
Mo.
1t was stated at the department of
agriculture that no permit had been
asked for by Baker to move cattle from
PecOs county to Kansas, and it was also
stated that had any one asked for
permit it would have been refused, as
it was looked upon as very dangerous
to move cattle from Pecos county to
Kansas, as former experience has clear
ly demonstrated. 1t was decided to de-
tail Albert Devan, of Kansas City, to
look into the matter and the depart
ment will act on his report.
