While Messrs. Lou GRADER and E.
Y. Hutchinson were out in the country
with horse and buggy Monday after
noon, the animal they were driving be-
came frightened at covered wagon
which they met on the highway. Their
horse turned abruptly despite efforts of
Mr.. GRADER who held the reins, dumping
both out of the buggy with such force
that Mr.. Hutchinson has been confined
to his home ever since in badly bruised
and sore condition. Luckily no bones
were broker. Mr., GRADER escaped more
fortunately than his companion.

e. r. Roberts, state veterinarian,
went to Kenosha last Thursday to take
charge of the famous herd of dairy cat
tie owned by Isaac Stephenson, the
Marinette millionaire. In the last few
weeks traces of tuberculosis have been
discovered and Mr.. Stephenson asked
that the state department test the herd
and slaughter every animal found af
fected with the disease. After care
full test it has been found that seventy
three of the animals are affected, and
they will be shipped to Milwaukee for
slaughter. + board of commissioners
was appointed to appraise the value of
the cows taken, but under the state law
the state may not pay more than 1913
head. Nearly all of the cattle condemn
ed are pure bred Holstein or Guernsey
cows and they are of great value. The
herd has been the pride of Mr.. Stephen
son for many years, and he has spent
thousands of dollars in breeding them
up to higher state of perfection. The
entire herd consists of 240 head and the
remaining cattle are said to be entirely
free from the disease.
