KANSAS HORSES ARE
DYING OF 4 PLAGUE
NOTORIOUS DISEASE is cAUs.
ING IMMENSE LOSS TO
THE FAEMERs.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. o.-More than
four thousand horses have died in
western Kansas since the mysterious
disease broke out in that section OF
the state and 1t is estimated that the
money loss will approximate $780,
900.
The great mortality among the
horses has created serious situa-
tiou in that section Of the state, hun
dreds Of farmers being LETT without
the animals to DO necessary fan
work. Because Of the practical GER
tainty that new horses would catch
the disease and die. the Farmers are
afraid to buy other animals.
The plague has now come as far
east as Riley county. four cases be-
ing reported near Manhattan.
Army veterinaries at Fort Riley
have established quarantine pro-
hibiting the bringing OF any horse on
the military reservation. Fort Riley
is wholly a cavalry and artillery post,
and there are more than 1900 horses
and mules there. It is probable that
a similar quarantine will have to be
established at Fort Leavenworth,
