CLARION CASES REPORTED
Cases in Baton Rouge Are Fatal to
Stock-Parish Infected.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Baton ROuge.-Three cases of char
bon have been reported to the Live
Stock Sanitation Board from this par
ish, one within the city limits and two
just beyond the corporation line. All
three affected with the disease died,
and their bodies were burned.
The first disease to come to the no.
tice of the board occurred recently. A
mule had been taken from one of the
pastures around the city used by the
refugees from the flood area for keep
ing their animals, and was brought to
this city. The mule appeared in good
health, but died short while after
an acute attack of charpon. 1t is not
known where the animal contracted
the disease.
Although no official notice has come
to the board, it is reported that char
bon has become prevalent in Living
ston parish. This parish was badly
infected last year.
