The plan for dealing with the fever is
primarily to exterminate the insect known

stricken cattle, and through the means OF
which the disease is communicated.

through solution in vat. OF what the
solution is composed it is not known at

WheL the successful experiment was
tried, twenty-seven head of very "ticky''
cattle were forced to swim through the
solution. and it was noticed that while
stand ing on the drip board there was al
most perfect rain Of ticks falling off the
cattle They were put into a pen ard
the next day, just seventeen hours after
the experiment was tried, rigid examna-

IDAHo's POISONOUS POT HOLES.

Death Traps I'm the Soil That Are the
Terrors Of Main and Beast.
From the Denver Republican.
Attention is again called to the danger
Gus pot holes of the Payette by the story of
cattle plunge into some Of them and go
bawling and kicking down to a terrible
death. These pot holes do not cover any
great area, but they are sufficient in num-
Der to render travel across the section ex-
ceedingly dangerous, while to stockmen
they constitute a constant source Of loss.
For many years the existence of these
pot holes has been known, but as the years
have rolled on they have not apparently in
creased or diminished I'm size or number
but stand there ready to receive in their
Shiny embrace any object, animate or in
animate. that may be unfortunate enough
to pass that way.
The substance with which these holes
are filled is of the consistency of mortar,
and the summer heat forms over the sur
face a thin crust, the appearance as COM
pared with the surrounding ground being
sufficient to deceive the man unacquainted
with the dangers that lurk on every hand
or the animals that may rush across the
MEGA.
The pot holes are from six to twenty
five feet in depth, as near as can be ascer-
tanned, and are from four to twelve feet
across at the exposed surface. but they
appear to enlarge as they go down, being
like inverted tunnels, 30 that one might
break through before treading upon the
surface. Around these pot holes are
fringes Of underground, and this fact has
saved many a man from a terrible death.
Those who are acquainted with the cir
cumstances avoid the section as they would

to go on to the mesa to ''hurrah' out
stock, and strangers are warned to keep
on the bare spots"

the water wears away the crust. the odor
that arises from the holes causes persons
who inhale them to become deathiy sick.
giving rise to the belief that the holes are
filled with matter as poisonous as the con-
densed breath Of q million swamp reptiles.
Hunters who have broken through and had

their shoes covered over with the nasty
slime have found that in the course of an
hour the leather has become rotted.
A feature that attracts many to that sec
ton is that birds abound there, making IL a
splendid shooting ground, but the Nimrods
are all familiar with the location of the
holes. and none of them has ever come to
grief beyond slipping in to their shoe tops
in moments of abstraction while waiting
for shot.
Ex-Governor Mcconnell tells story of
how the poisonous pot holes are supposed
TO have claimed several victims in the
early days. The governor with a party
was mining i'm the Horse Shoe Bend coun-
try. and came down to the Payette valley
to point where Emmett now stands after
some vegetables, the governor having put
in garden to which he afterward gave his
attention, to the exclusion of the mining
claims, as a more certain means of piling
up a supply of the yellow metal. During
that time the Indians. while not on the
warpath. had been giving the miners and
stockmen no little trouble, and when the
governor and his party arrived on the Pay
cite they found a number of cowboys
greatly excited over the impromptu burial.
as supposed, of several Indians in what
are now Familiarity called the pot holes.
The cowboys had chased a small band of
Indians away from their camp a couple of
days before, threatening to shoot them IL
they did not thereafter keep their distance.
The Indians, IL appears, secured reinforce
ments i'm the Boise valley, and returned
determined to give the cowboys a taste of
high life. They appeared on the side of
the mesa opposite the point where the cow
boys were encamped, and just before day
break sneaked out through the under
growth to give the stockmen a surprise
party that they would not soon forget.
Just before they reached the point where
the pot holes are located, they started on
the jump for the camp, whooping like a
troop of fiends. The cowboys at once
jumped for their guns. but before the red
skins had advanced 200 yards a most as
founding spectacle was presented. One of
the foremost Indians was seen to pitch
from his horse and the animal itself was
seen fioundering on the ground. Several
other Indians went down I'm rapid success
over them. This had the effect Of stopping
the revenge-laden expedition. There was a
scramble to assist the fallen reds, and then
the majority of the Indians wheeled about
and struck of in the direction from which
they came as though the devil and all his
legions were after them.
The cowboys made an examination and
found several horses mired in the pot holes.
Some were only partially in, and these they
managed to pull out, while others were so
far gone that the cowboys mercifully shot
them End left them to sink In the deadly
mire. The cowboys saw no Indians in the
holes. but, as those they saw running away
on foot did not correspond to the number
of swamped horses they came to the con-
clusion that some of the reds at least had
been pitched head first into the pot holes,
going under before the stockrnen could
reach the scene.
