SHORT GRASS RESULTS
FATALLY TO MANY
HORSES IN GREELEY

O. II. Adams lost his driving
horse Monday from a peculiar all
ment which is believed to have been
caused by feding the short clippings
from the lawn. This is the fourth
death of driving horses which has
occurred in the last few weeks and
all have been attributed to the same
trouble. Veterinaries have been un-
able TO save the animals and give it
as their opinion that the trouble is
due to feeding the short clippings OF
blue grass from the lawn. II is sald
that the blue grass of any length is
not injurious but where the lawn
is moved often the grass Is short ana
mats together and forms an lndl-
gestable ball which causes the ami
