State Veterinarian Elliott is in the Chey-
eyne River country making an attempt to
stamp out glanders, which is reported to
be prevalent in that section. He killed
several horses in that section about year
ago, and the Indians were very much op-
posed to his work, as they consider it their
own business whether they keep diseased
horses or not. Last year it was hard for
the veterinarian to secure and keep help
for his work on account of the fear of what
the Indians might do to get even with
those assisting him, but this year he is as
sisted by strong detail of the Indian
police, and will make determined effort
to stamp out the disease. But even now,
many of the Indians will run off their
horses which are supposed to be affected
and it will be hard to find them.
