SQUIRRELS MAY SPREAD PLAGUE
Special to The Sentinel. I

Washington, Dec. 21.-The posi-
BILE spread of bubonic plague through
squirrels to such an extent that II
may become q real menace to sections
where no cases have so far appeared
has been called to the attention oi
the house committee on agriculture
| by Secretary Wilson.
The public health service has asked
the biological bureau of the depart
ment of agriculture to devise some
, means for destroying the squirrels,
through which, according to Chief
Merriam of that bureau, the infection
has spread. in isolated cases, over 600
square miles in California.
The bureau has been asked to make
a survey of the region infested with
the ground squirrels to find the ex-
tent of plague manifestations.
Secretary Wilson has told the COM
mittee that he regarded it as i'm
portant to stamp out the bubonic
plague as to make the campaign
against the foot and mouth disease,
another fight which the department
has on hand; but he has made no rec
ommendation as to an appropriation
for the purpose, because of the close
pruning of expenditures all along the
line.

| ed TO be in grave danger OF starving
to death because of the heavy SHOWS
to the northwest OF the lake. Every
available man has been pressed into
service breaking trails To let the sheen
through to the railroads, where large
shipments of grain and baled hay are
being unloaded for feed, says a report
from Ogden, Utah. Fully 100000
sheep are tied up and in danger of
death by exposure and starvation, in
the vicinity of Kelton. Further out
on the desert conditions are less Sc
we're and little trouble is being met
with. The trouble arose over the
failure of many of the flockmasters
to take the trails before winter set in.
As result they are stranded in the
very worst portion of the trail. Snow,
in many places averaging two feet in
depth, has made grazing on the sage
brush and dried desert grasses inn
possible. The storm was unusually
severe and the sheepmen were caught
off their guard.
During the last three days whole
trainloads of food have been shipped
to the nearest railroad point to the
scene of the trouble, but the great
stretches of unbroken snow are maxi
ing 1t exceedingly difficult to get the
grain and hay TO the snowbound
flocks.
Louis BittOn, prominent sheep
and cattle man of Ogden, returned
from Kelton today, where he says
conditions are worse than they have
been in years. Mr.. Bitton is direct
ing the shipment of corn and hay out
of Ogden. He says the chief trouble
now is in obtaining sufficient corn,

FROM HUNGER AND COLD TENS
Of THOUSANDS Of CATTLE AND
SHEEP SUFFERING TERRIBLY

Reports from various parts of the
state, received by the Colorado state
bureau of child and animal protec-
ton yesterday, indicate that cattle
and horses are suffering from hunger
and exposure on account of the heavy
snowfall.
Secretary Il. X. Whitehead has in
structed his deputies to bring Grim
inal charges against owners of cattle
and horses who are neglecting them,
and as fast as reports are received he
is informing the state board of stock
inspectors so that food can be sent
to the suffering animals. From Ster-
ling a report was received that a herd
of 900 cattle has been roaming
along the railroad track between
Stoneham and Raymer for the past
four weeks and that unless food is
rushed to them they will die. 1t is
claimed the owners have refused to
act.
At Otis there is a herd of 100
horses which have been starving for
six weeks on the plains. At Durango
an agent of the society found four
ponies on top of Pine River mesa and
brought them down to n ranch, where
they are being cared for.
The snow has covered the range
and the stock is unable to reach the
grass. So long as the cattle and
horses have plenty to eat, they can
manage in the most severe weather.

A recent engagement luncheon was
arranged in this manner: A loving
cup was placed in the center of the
table and was filled with tiny boxes
of bon-bons. Ferns and roses were
arranged in the cup. Ribbons were
drawn from each gift to the plate,
and one little box, when opened, held
a tiny card with the engagement an
nouncement. Another method is to
write the announcement on a placard
that has heart and silver dirk run
through it. This may be placed in a
conspicuous place on the table.

Jackson, Miss, November 3O.-C.
R. Smith, the noted Lowndes county
prisoner now serving a life sentence
in the penitentiary for the murder of
e. A. Laurent, a Nashville travelling
man, is closing out his extensive bus
mess interests in Lowndes and ad-
joining counties, and has evidently
made up his mind that there is no
hope of clemency being extended in
his case, at least, not during the pres
ent administration.
Smith is still employed as a trusty
in charge of the store at the Belmont
plantation, and the recent severe
criticism of the prison board of trus-
tees for giving a noted convict such
an easy assignment, apparently In
direct violation of the statute which
provides that the influential or no.
torious convict shall, under no cor
cumstances, be made or employed as
trusty, has apparently had no eff
feet upon the members of that body.
