Texaa Itch or Mango.


Mango is caused by an itch mite
which inhabits the horse, ass, mule or
steer, and may migrate to man, where
1t may thrive as well. An old bulletin
OF the Minnesota Experiment Station
says that, though very small, it can be
readily detected moving along the
scurf Of an infected skin, if strong
magnifying lens is used. It forms
sT2all galleries beneath the scurf skin,
In which it hides and multplies. Ii
the hide of an infested horse is warmed
by the sun or in warm stable, the
mite becomes very active, and is found
quite readily by those trained in such
work. Like all burrowing itch mites,
they cannot exist for long time if re-
moved from their burrow and exposed
to the dry air; in moist places they can
exist, however, for many days, even
for many weeks. Horses invaded by
such parasites show their presence by
being restless, which is caused by their
1ncessant itching about the head, name,
tail and back. Numerous open sores
and scabs make the presence Of the
itch mite very certain and plain. AS
remedy, remove the scabs by the use
of soapsuds and brush, and apply
tea made Of boiling one and one-half
ounces Of tobacco in one quart Of wa
ter. This application should be re-
peated after fifteen days to kill the
new brood that may have Matched in
the interval. Cleanliness in the stable
is another important factor, and if a
case of this disease has been found in
a stable, all blankets and rubbers
should be whitewashed with quicklime
containing one-fourth pound of chic
ride of lime to one gallon of water.

DEATH OF j. A. POINDEXTER.

James A. Poindexter, an old resident
of Eureka, met with an accident in a
peculiar manner last week, which re-
suited in his death at Cortez, Eureka
County, on May IA, 1904.
The particulars of the accident that
befell Mr.. Poindexter as he was return
ing to Cortez from Eureka are very mea.
ger. He had been here for several
days attending to legal business and
left by train Tuesday of last week. AT
Beowawe he took passage on the stage
for Cortez. Wednesday about noon a
stop was made at the Dean ranch,
about eighteen miles from Cortez, for
dinner and to change horses. When
ready to start again Mr.. Poindexter
was moi in sight, and did not respond to
calls made for him. A search was
begun and he was found unconscious
with a cash in his head in the stage
company's barn. He had gone into the
stable, and in an unknown manner had
been kicked by one of the horses. The
wounded man was put into the stage
and taken to Cortez. He remained un-
conscious until Friday. but the improve
ment in his condition was of short du-
ration. for he died from his injury
Saturday afternoon.
Mr.. Poindexter was a native of Mis-
souri,, aged SO years. For many years
he lived in Eureka, most Of the time
employed at the Eureka Con. furnaces.
About ten years ago he went to Cortez,
where he worked in the mill for the
Tenabo Company. He is survived by a
brother, John T. Poindexter, who for
years was foreman of the Eureka Con.
furnaces in Eureka, but who is now en-
gagged in ranching near Houston, Texas.
The deceased was an upright and
good citizen. His pleasing and
generosity made him many friends. who
heard of his tragic death with much
sorrow.
