STAMPING OUT
HORST: DISEASE

Shields, N. D., Aug. 21.-The United
Statcs Bureau of Animal Industry is
making a very determined effort to
stamp out disease among the horses
on the Standing Rock reservation. and
all horses are being inspected. Those
found to be affected with durine" are
condemned and killed.
During the past summer several hun
dred head have been destroyed, and
Monday forty-three head Of mares were
killed at TT. Yates. This week twenty
eight head will be killed in Poreupine
district. All the horses are being
rounded up by districts and examined.
The work is under the direction Of Dr.
Treacy of Bismarck, who is at the
head of the bureau for several western
states, while most of the active work
is being done by Drs. Simmons and
Rapp.
The horses condemned are appraised,
and the Indians are reimbursed ny JIG
government in amounts ranging from
So to the maximum value placed on any
animal, 800. Many Indians are losing
several head of horses and it is working
hardship on p number whose only
personal possessions are bunch OF
horses. Owing to the low price paid TO,
horses condemned it is going to be hard
to get good mares to take the place
Of those destroyed and breed up drove
again. However, the action of the au
thorities is no doubt right, and the
remaining horses if not bred to outside
stock will undoubtedly be at pre-
MUM later on.
/ The disease prevalent on the reserva
ton is general throughout the north
west but SO far it seems that the diff
ferent state boards have taken no &C
tion to stamp it out. the state veterin
arians confining their activity princi
pally to hunting down glandered horse!
They could get some valuable pointers
