leaves several small patches in the
Speedway which must be brought up

necessary filling will be begun forthwith

when Duffey went the century mark in

Yale has new man in Torney, who is
likely TO make these cracks move, al

Inspector Hopkins Orders Cattle
Back on Tennessee.
Also Instructs All to Bring No More
From Below the Quaran-
tine Belt.
: IS ALMOST A QUARANTINE

No more cattle from below the quaran-
tine belt can be shipped into Paducah.
This order was left by Federal Inspector
+. w. Hopkins when he left for Cairo
yesterday, after remaining in Paducah
for several days investigating local con-
ditions relative TO the handling of cattle
shipped here.
This order is not a quarantine, but il
is almost as bad as one, and as soon as
the government authorities get Inspector
Hopkins report, it may order a strict
quarantine.
Yesterday several head of cattle were
brought to Paducah on the steamer Ten
nessee, and when they were inspected by
Mr.. Hopkins he promptly ordered them
taken back, and has ordered the captains
of boats running below the quarantine
line not to bring any more to Paducah
The cattle were driven back on the boat
and will be returned to the former own
er up the Tennessee river tonight on the
steamer.
The reason for the exclusion order is
that the proper facilities have not been
provided here for. handling cattle from
the south. These cattle are covered with
ticks which do not injure them, but dis
seminate Texas fever" and often kill
cattle in this part of the country, and
have even been known to kill human be
ings.
The state authorities upon learning
that these southern cattle were not iso-
lated when brought to Paducah, but were
allowed to mingle with other cattle and
were driven through the streets in such
way as to make it possible for the
ticks ia drop off them and get onto some
of the local cattle, made a report to The
government, and the government has
now taken the matter in hand.
II is said that the only local concern
that has properly prepared for the safe
transportation of this cattle is the stock
yard.
1t is stated that about 800 cattle have
died in Paducah and vicinity within the
past ten years from the Texas fever,
resulting from ticky cattle, and the gov
eminent will now stop the importation
of cattle below the quarantine line
which is just across the Kentucky Dor
der in Tennessee, until the county en-
forces the proper measures for relief
and boats and railroads have been so or
dered.
As there is a heavy penalty for every
violation of the inspectors orders, it il
likely that no effort will be made t.
bring in southern cattle for the present
contrary to the orders left by lnspecto
Hopkins last night. III
