Morgan Messenger: Last week
veterinary DR.. Golden of Redwood
Falls found that six cattle, four
mich cows and two yearlings, be-
longing to Thomas Butcher were
with tuberculosis and were
condemned, killed and buried. It
seems that the disease has prevailed
for some time as the entire herd,
with the exception of three were
number of herd being nine.
The loss to Mr.. Butcher will be con-
siderable as the reimbursement on
the part of the state for the stock
will be but two-thirds of the real
value. Mr.. Butcher was not aware
Of the fact that his cattle were
afflicted with tuberculosis until re-

and found one lung of the
animal entirely gone. Finding that
this critter was afflicted he at once
reported the matter to the town
BOARD who took the matter in hand
and had veterinary DR. Golden in
spect the stock.
