DR.. Rich was in town on Saturday and
caused to be slaughtered and burned 80
head OF cattle previously condemned by
him-14 cows belonging to Frank Smith, 10
cows and bull belonging to Bert Cobb, and
cows belonging to O. g. Robinson. The
disease in the first two herds was traced to
the Moulton herd OF Randolph, and in Rob
inson's herd to local herd owned and sold
few years since by Alvin wilkins. Many
Of the cows were badly diseased and others
less so. 1t is not thought that other diaries
In town are much afflicted, but further ex-
animation will take place at an early day.

demned even dying OF old age and disease
before the day OF execution arrived. The

receiving half Of that sum from the state.
