very much from the burns.
The kerosene can had been sitting
on the porch all the morning where
the rays of the sun burned down on

grounded in the fact that the yapor
escaped from the can and when she
PASSED by the stove it caused the ex-
plosion from coming in contact with

shot up nearly to the ceiling, passing
Just along the side of her head. There

was Immediately eXtinguished.
Fire Marshal Craft made an exami-
nation of the situation shortly after
the accident happened. He said that
many people do not use the proper
caution in keeping kerosene and gas

NO GLANDERzD HORSES
An Erroneous Report Being Circu.
lated as to Glandered Horses
in This City.

Up in the vicinity of Letcher and
A.rtesian a report has been put into
circulation that Mitchell is in a bad
way in fighting the disease of CLAN
ders in horses. A farmer living up
in that section said that many people
wio have been coming here to trade
Were afraid to bring their horses to
the city on account of the great pre-
valence of CHAMBERS. Somebody has
been exceedingly busy in circulating
a false report, for there is not a word
of truth in the whole statement.
We had a conversation with DR..
N. j. Mayer, the veterinarian, this
morning with reference to the situa-
ton in this city concerning the CLAN
dered horse care. DR.. Mayer stated
positively that at the present time
there is not a ease Of CHAMBERS in
town nor is there the faintest sus-
picion of one.
1t is true that the disease has been
prevalent for some time back, but
since the last of the animals were
killed May 10 the disease has been
wiped out. The five horses which we're
killed at that time, states DR.. Mayer,
We're in absolute quarantine for six
weeks before they were disposed of,
ana since then every effort has been
made to wipe out the d1sease, and he
feels very safe in saying that it has
been accomplished.
The report up around the two
towns mentioned was to the effect
that about forty head of horses we're
killed. This estimate is entirely too
high, for the veterinarian states there
but five horses and one mule who
We're put out of the way.
DR.. Mayer states that since the
animals were killed every effort has
| been made to prevent a possible
+! spread of the disease and up to the
present time there has been no infor-
nation left at his office which would
lead one to believe that CHAMBERS are
prevalent any longer.
The farmers around Lctchcr,
Lcomis or Artesian can come to
Mitchell to do their trading in per-
feet safety, according to the reliable
statement of DR.. Mayer.
