Way of Combating Disease.
"There is way of combating bovine
tuberculosis which will do consider
able towards stamping out the disease
and at the same time greatly reduce
our liability of infection. To accom-
plish this, more thorough methods will
have to be followed than any prac-
ticed heretofore. When a herd has
been tested and those that are found
to be tuberculous are removed, and
effectually disposed of, it should be
required that any proposed new addi-
tons should be tested before being ad-
mitted. By thus doing the work can
proceed from dairy to dairy and thus
obviate the necessity of retesting in a
year or two unless there should be
carelessness and infection from the
human family. If this method be fol-
lowed it will only take few years to
reduce bovine tuberculosis to mini

ADMITS THEFT.
City Clerk at Boone confesses Shortage
of $4,000.

of $4,000.
Boone, Feb. 16.-City Clerk Fred D /.
Gay, of this city, has confessed to a
shortage of over $4,000 in his accounts
with the Boone Building and Loan
association, of which he is secre-
tary.
Mr.! Gay has made a full confession
of his inability to produce the funds
which belong to the company. He lays
his shortage to unfortunate speculation
on the market. He has given up all
the property he had to cover his short
age, but the amount which will be de-
rived from this source will not prove
sufficient to pay back the amounts
taken during the past three years, be-
yond which time the statute of limita-
lions bars criminal prosecution. Elk
perts are now working on the books
with a view to determining the ex-
act situation. 1t is thought that the
amount will not exceed seven thousand
dollars.
Mr.. Gays creditors are showing him
great leniency If the matter, out of
respect for the sinnocent members of
his family. The story is only another
instance of where a trusted official
took funds which he intended to pay
back later, but which he was never
able to restore.
