O'Neill Frontier: A report, eminat-
ing from Norfolk, states that a dis
ease termed swamp fever has been
dealing death to horses in this county
in large punches. The Frontier is ad-
vised by a prominent horse dealer of
O'Neill that this is partially true, that
there has been about a dozen cases of
the disease that he is aware of among
horses in the southern portion of the
north of the river. The disease, he
says, is attributed by some to bad hay
caused by excessive rains early in the
summer and by others to the large
green flies, which have been especially
severe on the horses in the low, wet
sections of the county this year.
