DISEASE AMONG DEER.
White Tails Dying by Hundreds on
Northern Range

tGreat Falls Iribune-l
A new disease is reported to have
broken out among the Whitehall deer
in the Little Rockies and in other
parts OF the state. 1t is said they are
dy ing Of by the hundreds Just what
il is there is no one who has yet been
able TO tell definitely, but it has every
appearance of being some kind of
dropsy which quickly affects the heart.
Hunters who have been in the Vi
cimty OF the range. on a sporting trip
say hundreds of deer are to be found
III The foothills dead. and all along
there are to be seen many which are
apparently too sick to get out of the
way of passers- by
Among the visitors in the city from
that section is Aaron g James
rancher near Phillips. In an interview
he said:
There is a strange disease among
the Whitehall deer in the Little Rock
section Just what it is no one seems
to know, but they are dying off by
the hundreds. They are only sick a
few days when they lie down, and
once down they never get up again
We did not pay much attention to
It 10 the beginning, but now there Is
10 be an investigation, for if a disease
can affect deer why cannot it affect
cattle? Therefore Stockmen are TAX
ing the matter in hand and the state
veterinarian has been notified
When they go down they seem to
be too weak to get up, and there are
those who are of the opinion that it
is a sort of dropsy of the heart.
Il should say that. to the present
time, there have been fully 1000 of
them died on the range. This is the
first time the disease has put in an ap-
pearance, and if it is not stamped out,
even if it is not possible to commune
cate it to cattle, it will only be a
short time until it has rid the ranges
of the white tail.
1T has been reported that the same
thing has been noticed in other parts
of the state, though not to the same
extent. However, the white tail drift
about, and il viii soon be all over. 1t
is a serious question and should be
looked into at once"

part of the state has been endeavoring
10 secure an appellate court decision
providing that one license will cover
any number of breweries that any one
party may operate. The superior court
decided against them but two OF the
court dissented and it is understood
this has given the appellants encour-
agement To take the case to the su-
preme court From this it can be seen
that the brewers would scarcely relish
the idea of submitting to the terms Of
the Kopp bill. The brewers press
agents have had several leading papers
hint very broadly that the new bill is
suspected of being what is known in
Harrisburg as a "pincher."

Senator j. C. Vaughan dearly loves
a joke. and one was unconsciously
played upon himself few days ago
which he especially enjoys and he tells
about it with genuine pleasure. The
senator has been very much sought
after for interviews regarding second
class city legislation recently and one
of the local papers printed his picture
a few days ago in connection with
statement of his views on the ripper"
bill.
The next day at his home the con-
versation turned upon the death of
Queen Victoria and the accession of
the Prince of Wales to the throne. An
old lady, who is a friend of the family,
was visiting in the house at the time
and the senator seeing a chance for a
little fun, opened the paper In question
to the page which contained his pic
ture and, pointing to it, asked the old
lady what she thought Of the looks of
the Prince of Wales.
The old lady is rather near sighted

picture carefully for several moments,
