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
to-day to investigate the cause of the
death of $50 head of cattle on the
range on Horsefy.
They found after a personal exam
ination of the places where the cattle
died that death was undoubtedly
caused from a bulb plant carrying
yellow blossom, which is called car
nan. 1t was found to be growing lux
uriantly surrounding the dead cattle,
and Dr. Lamb expressed the opinion
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 than
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 doctors left at noon for Cimar-
ron for the purpose of ascertaining
whether tn ecattle which died there
were killed from the same poison
weed. The loss of cattle during the
last week has been fully 1000 head.

CURIOUS CHINESE CUSTOM.
Elaborate Ceremony Attending First
CCttinq of a BOYS Hair.

Elaborate Ceremony Attending First
Cutting of Boys Hair.
One of the most ancient and curious
customs among the Chinese, and one
rarely commemorated in this country,
was observed with great pomp and
circumstance in Chinatown Sunday
night, when Fong Hook, leading
supervision of the Chinese discounts
in the Anglo-Californian Bank of San
Francisco, entertained his relatives to
a remote degree with magnificent
banquet in honor of the first cutting
of the hair of his only son.
The banquet took place at an Eighth
street restaurant, and there were $50
guests. A notable feature was the
fact that the wives and children OF the
guests sat down at the same table
with the heads of families. A most
elaborate menu, comprising birds
nest soup, steam stuffed duck, Foon
Yon Ha, sharks fins and other rare
and costly Celestial dishes were
served
The banquet cost the happy father
$500. During the evening quite
number of prominent members of the
San Francisco clearing house called at
the restaurant to offer their felicita-
lions to him. The hair cutting cere-
mony, which was observed with pic
turesque rites, symbolizes that Fong
Hooks heir is now factor in the
family. The guests brought presents
for the little son worth thousands Of
dollars.
