Considerable uneasiness and excitement
was created in this community on Thursday
last by the sudden and mysterious death Of
two fine horses belonging 20 Mr.. w. H.
Pumphrey, undertaken at this place, and
death on Sunday morning of another horse
belonging to the same gentleman. Pre-
vious to the death of the third horse the
contents of the stomachs of the two first
victims to the mysterious disease had been
sent to the Agricultural Department Tor
analysis, as there was a suspicion that
they had been poisoned. When the last
animal died telegram was sent to State
Veterinary Surgeon Ward, and to this that
gentleman responded by coming here on
Sunday evening. After viewing the dead
animal and learning the symptoms previous
to death the doctor was taken to the pas
ture lot where the horses had been kept,
and found that large limb had been cut
from red maple tree. and upon the leaves
of this the horses had been feeding. He at
once gave it as his opinion that the par
tally fermented and withered leaves were
the cause of death, and cited similar cases
in his practice. Among the contents Of
the two stomachs taken out were a large
number of these leaves. On Friday two
gentlemen from the Agricultural Depart
ment came here and made thorough
search of the pasture lot, and took with
them large number of specimens of the
various bushes weeds and other products
Of the land. 1t Is expected that further
light will be thrown upon the subject when
the analysis of the contents Of the stom-
achs has been completed. The opinion of
DR.. Ward in regard to the cause Of death
was quite a relief to the people of the
community, as previous to his coming
there was suspicion that the animals
had been poisoned by some evil-disposed
person.

o'clock, as the passenger steamer City Of
Toledo was returning from her regular trip
to Putin Bay. she encountered the schoon-
er Magdalene Dowing, in tow of the tug

ing down. and after few minutes succeed
ed in restoring order The schooner was
cleared away.
Fifty Persons Injured.
