States Attorney Anderson says the
STAR got hard roasting from the
stockmen at Edgemont last Friday be-
cause it quoted Carmon Fisher to the
effect that he lived on Plum creek and
that there was no disease among cattle
that he knew of. 1t now develops that
there are two Plum creeks in the coun-
ty, one being between Flat creek and
Edgemont and the other between Hat
creek and Oelrichs. The reported dis
ease among cattle is on the former
Plum creek. This paper was merely
giving all the news it could obtain upon
the matter. If there is disease every
body will certainly want it looked into
and wiped out soon as possible. The
columns of the STAR are always open
to stockmen, aud everybody, in dis
cussing questions that are of interest
and Importance, and something of
value might be learned if those who
have stock afflicted would explain the
disease in these columns. It seems
that there are no funds to pay the state
veterinary surgeon with, and he will
not come to examine the disease, but
Mr.. Anderson hopes to secure the ap-
pointment of some one locally to look
after it as there are provisions for
counties having an inspector when
necessary.
