CATTLE POISONED t.
Edward Mcdonnell Loses Six Head of
Cattle Under Peculiar Cir
c~umstancea


Last Friday afternoon Edward Nc
Donnell discovered that six head of
fine cattle belonging to his herd had
died on the range near his ranch
under very peculiar circumstances.
Mr.. McDonnell's ranch is on Warm
Spring creek, seven miles below Lew
istown, and he ranges his cattle in
the vicinity Of the ranch and around
the foothills OF the South Moccasin
mountains. The cattle are usually
herded by his two young sons and
Friday morning when they were TAX
en- out 1t vas not noticed that any OF
the animals showed any signs of be-
ing sick. Early in the afternoon Pc
ter Anderson was going along the
road by the Diehl ranch and say one
of the animals lying dead near the
road. He notified Mr.. Mcdonnell Of
the matter and the two returned to
the place, and upon looking around
found FIVE more dead cattle within
two hundred and fifty yards Of the
place where the first one was found.
Mr.. Mcdonnell came to the city Sat
urday and notified the county attor-
ney. and that official, in company with
DIR. Frederick Treacy and Stock In
spector Nichols, proceeded with him
to the place where the cattle had died
for the purpose of making an investi-
cation as to the cause OF their death.
They found that the carcasses had
all bloated badly. and everything
would indicate that they had been
poisoned. DIR. Treacy removed a por'
ton of the stomachs from two OF
them. and these parts have been for.
warded to DR.. Starr. state bacteriolo.

alysis. When the stomachs OF the
two dead animals were opened the
inner lining would at once slough of

applause given to each musical and
literary number ii was proven that
the crowd was highly pleased with all

magnificent and we we're held under
