DEATH IN YELLOW FLOWER.
Weed That Has Caused Loss Of 1000
Cattle In Colorado.

DR.. George l.. Glover, head of the
veterinary department of the State
Agricultural College, and DR.. Lamb,
State Veterinary Surgeon, were here
today to investigate the cause of the
death of $50 head of cattle on the
range on the Horsefiy.
They found after personal exam
nation of the places where the cattle
died that death was undoubtedly caus-
ed from bulb plant carrying yell
low blossom, which is called death
carnan 1t was found to be growing
luxuriantly surrounding the dead cat
tie, and Dr. Lamb expressed the opin-
ion that there was sufficient poison
in one blossom to kill several people.
He said an animal after eating one of
these blossoms would die in less Ian
an hour. The surgeons took the Wis
cera of an animal with them and will
have it analysed, in order to report
to the ranchmen here an antidote
which can be administered which will
save the cattle when closely guarded.
The doctor left at noon for Cimar-
ron for the purpose of ascertaining
whether the cattle which died there
were killed from the same poison
weed. The loss of cattle during the
last week has been fully 1000 head

animation is held every year. Last
year ten warrant officers passed
successful examination, and were CON-

example of the possibilities of adj
vancement in the navy is the case of
Lieutenant Soule. He entered the SER
vice as apprentice at SO a month in
1884; he was promoted through the
enlisted grades to chief petty officer,
passed the examination for gunner,
and when the present law became op
erative in 1901. ne stood the exam

candidate to be commissioned. In 1904
he was promoted to lieutenant, junior

yearly pay of about $4,000. He is now
on recruiting duty in the Middle West.
