FATAL DISEASE
ATTACKS HORSES
Prevalent in Lumber Camps and
Battles Veterinarians

A strange disease is affecting the
horses up the st. Joe river and in
the lumber camps adjacent to this
city.
The disease first attacks the upper
and tender parts of the hoofs where
latter meets the flesh Small sores
appear extending over larger areas as
the affection develops. These
sores gradually appear over the entire
body, meanwhile the horse growing
more and more weak. Ultimately
whenever the horse lies down or
presses against an object the place of
contact breaks out into running
sores.
Several we'll known veterinarians
have visited and treated the cases
but are at loss to understand the
disease and claim it is beyond thei:
knowledge or power to cure. DIR.
Truman of st. Mar;es, has been hand
ling the several cases but without
success. DIR. North of Spokane, is
also unable to pronounce what the
disease is or to cure it.
The horses live for long time I'M
til killed by the authorities, scores
having been destroyed in hopes of
stamping out the disease but without
success. Some of the horses are
choice ones, but the disease affects
them. it matters not the condition of
their health or care.
The McGoldrick Lumber company,
the Cox Brothers camp, the Monarch
company and Stack Gibbs have had
this disease among their logging
horses and the results are practically
| identical

NOT PROVEN
SAYS BORAH
Defense Argues There Was Mine
Owners Conspiracy

Boise, Idaho, July ia day of
argument on the admissibility of
noints of evidence followed the an
nouncement from the defense that
they had no further witnesses to offer
in behalf of William d. Haywood.
The Jury was not brought into court,
Indge Wood having been informed
by counsel of their decision to rest
vithout offer of surrebuttal. Clarence
barrow spoke for an hour and half
Of the morning session. Senator
Borah replied in the afternoon and
vas followed by E. F. Richardson.
The point argued was the proposition
to exclude from consideration by the
iury the evidence offered by the de-
tense to show by proof of deportation
Of miners from and the employment
Of detectives in the Cripple Creek
district of Colorado, that conspir-
scy was formed among the mine
owners and the citizens of the dis
trict to prevent the employment of
members of the Western Federation
Of Miners. The position taken by
the Haywood defense was that Harry
Orchard was employed by the mine
onwers' association through detect
ives to commit crimes which were
then charged to the federation and
public opinion aroused against the
union workers, and it therefore
followed that if Colorado evidence fol
the state was admitted the defense
bad the right to show a counter con
piracy. The reply of the state was
that the defense had failed legally tt
tOnnect their case in these particulars
nd, therefore, their evidence mere
y confused the issue.

uments gave counsel an opportunit.

that by running the water from the
roof into good cistern water could be
collected sufficient without having a
we'll or other supply unless wanted
for drinking purposes. Rain water Is
all right for any purpose If it is prop
erly saved in good clean cistern that
is provided with the proper filters.
Cisterns are not deep enough to cost
great deal Of labor to get the water
out, a hand-pump will answer very
well for small house to keep the
bathroom supplied, but there must be
a storage tank somewhere. This may
be a plank tank, copper lined, up in the
attic, or it may be a pressure tank
in the cellar or in the ground outside.
Either arrangement is good If well put
in and taken care of afterward. 1t
don't take much time to look after a
water plant of this kind. 1t won't run
itself exactly, although 1t can be made
almost automatic in operation.
Pressure tanks are the newest and
most satisfactory when they are right
in every way An old steam boiler
makes a good tank, but it must be
both water and air-tight 1t must be
large enough to hold water for house
hold use for a week and still leave
air space enough to give the necessary
pressure The water is pumped with
a force pump into the tank through a
pipe that enters at the bottom, thus
combining the air in the upper part of
the boiler shell tank The water is
forced in at the bottom and taken out
from the bottom. When the air pres
sure gets too low to force the water
up to the highest water tap more air is
forced into the top of the pressure
tank by means of a large bicycle
pump.
A boiler shell three feet in diameter
and IL to 16 feet long would answer
the purpose very well. 1t should be
filled about two-thirds full of water
under a pressure of from 20 to 80
pounds. A little experience will soon
show the most desirable pressure The
kind of water pump and and air pump
used will determine whether it is best
to pump the water against the air or
to pump the air against the water.
