MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF INDIAN
CATTLE EXPLAINED.
DUE 70 j POISONOUS DIP
Doctor Knowles, State Veterinarian
Makes an lnvestigation-Warning
Against Patent Preparations.

An official investigation made by
Doctor Knowles, state veterinarian,
into the reported mysterious" cattle
disease that caused the death of sew
eral hundred cattle belonging to the
Fort Peck Indian agency resulted in
a remarkable discovery. Instead OF
a disease" poisoning was RESPONSE
BILE for the death OF the animals, and
they were poisoned by a dip used in
treating them Tor mango. Cresylic
acid was one OF the ingredients used
in making The dip, which was sold to
the agency as one made in conformity
with the regulations of the state. 1t
was also represented as being abso-
lutely harmless 10 the animals.
While this was the most serious
case," said Doctor Knowles, I'VE have
had for some time, it is an illustration
OF how cattlemen can be imposed
upon by the agents OF these patent
dips. Any man who Luys a dip OF
which he knows nothing is taxing
great risks, and while it may be that
some OF these dips are harmless, the
safest way is to have nothing to do
with any of them.
"The department has recommended
two dips, either of which covers all
requirements. Both are harmless.
One is the tobacco and sulphur dip,
and the other is the lime azd sulphur
dip. The tobacco and sulphur dip
can be bought ready for use, or the
owner can buy the ingredients and
mix it himself. The mixing of the
lime and sulphur dip is very easy
matter. This dip, as | have said, is
absolutely harmless and is a sure
preventive OF scaD.
Dipping by Wholesale.
''At Big Muddy the Valley county
and North Dakota Stockgrowers' as
sociation are dipping jointly and have
something like 10000 head of cattle
to dip. Previous to this time large
number of reservation cattle had
been dipped at these vats, so that it
is estimated that $4,000 head of cat
tie will have been dipped at the con-
clusion. AS each head must be dip
ped twice, this makes approximately
100000 dippings.
"Only three fatalities have occur
red at Big Muddy, and these have
been from accidents due to the bunch
ing of great herds of cattle. Dipping
at the Big Muddy watts is on such an
extensive scale that it is very cheap,
averaging but IA cents head

length and assessed at $1,127, the
agent Of the company asked for a re-
duction. That part of the Montana
& Northern system known as the Jen.
nings branch, Mr.. Wilkinson attacked
particularly. The assessment of the
Montana & Northern this year is
$4,000 mile straight. On the other
part OF the line the company has no
objection, but it considers that val
uation of $1,000 a mile is sufficient
Last year it was placed at $2,S9O.
There is no time card and no regular
train service on the line.
Butte, Anaconda & Pacific.
Charles Schwartz, representing the
Butte, Anaconda & Pacific, stated
that he believed his road was as
sessed too high, and asked for a re-
duction, particularly in the spurs.
Oregon Short Line.
j. B. Evans of the Oregon Short
Line, asked for general reduction in
the assessed valuation. r. D. Pol
lard of the Burlington, asked for a
reduction in the valuation of the To-
luca branch. In Wyoming it is as.
sessed at $4,000 a mile, and in Mon
tana at $3,587. He stated that the
company is paying on a percentage
basis II 2-3 of the gross earnings of
the line and that for every dollar de-
rived from the road it is paying 81
in return.
Montana Railway.
R. A. Harlow, vice president of the
Montana railway, appeared before the
board and stated that he was suited
with the assessment on his line, it be-
ing $4,000 a mile, the same as last

GENERAL REYES COURSE.
xt Tw Thought That Colombian Army
 Will Re Mobil4xed.

Xt Tw Thought That C01oxn biRn Army
 Will Re Mobil4&ed.
 COLON, Nov 25.--A person who is in intimate association with General Reyes, who has seen much of the gen. sral during the past few months and who is thoroughly familiar with the ln- terior of Colombia said concerning the probable course which General Reyes will pursue at Washington that Reyes would make every effort, no matter how hopeless, to effect such settle ment of the Panama situation as would preserve the integrity of Colombia. Thinking his position to negotiate to this end would be stronger if he had an armed TcrCe i'll tie ~T7eIu, IL was not impossible that Reyes would order preparations for an attempt to invade the isthmus.
 Generals Sarria and Bustamente left General Reyes at Port Limon, Sarria returning to Bogota and Bustamente to the province of AntioQufa. It is possi- ble that they carried General Reyes orders to undertake warlike prepara- tons if 1t can be proved that such prep aratfons will strengthen Reyes position or if the generals think that the people of Colombia require such propitiation.
 General Reyes hopes that the United States will to some extent withdraw from the position it has taken on the isthmus, possibly to the extent of giv ing Colombia m unhindered opportunl ty to recapture the isthmian territory.

Colo mbians Hope That All Fair Minded People In the United States Wigl Assist Them to
 Keep Panama.

Keep Panama.
 BOGOTA. Colombia. Nov. 25.-A prominent politician here who is close to the government and thoroughly post ed in the affairs of the administration has characterized the action of the United States OH tle isthmus of Pana- ma as most unjustiliable. He said:
 "Colombi0ns hope that the reasona- ble and fair minded people of the Unit ed States will bring such pressure to bear on the government at Washington that the result will be the saving of the isthnus to Colombia and the pro tection of Colombia's unquest1oned rights there. All Colomblans protest, as would the people of other nations, against this aggression of the United States. Colombia is confident that jus tice will be done to her. and all Colom- bians are unanimously resolved to sus- tain and defend the national integrity even at every possible sacrifice. The Bogota government is receiving the support of all political parties, and there are daily made generous dona tions of gold and jewels to meet such expenses as may become necessary.
 American residents at Bogota are surprised at the action of the United States on the isthmus and are confi- dent in view of the enormous damage that would result to commercial inter- ests and in consideration of the most friendly relations existing between the United States and Colombia that the United States government will retrace the steps it has taken in Panama"
