Chicago, Nov. 9.-Disinfecting at
the Chicago union stockyards, which
suspended business ON account of the
hoof and mouth disease, continues in
the expectation that the place would
be in a thoroughly sanitary condition
by Nov. Ia.
DR.. o. e. Dyson, state veterinarian,
said that although the quarantine had
been ordered to run until November
16, it would be lifted before that time
if it were shown that the yards wece
in a fit condition. Every confidence
that the disease is well under control
here was expressed after it was found
that only a few more suspected cattle
have developed cases.
The new cases were among prize
cattle recently exhibited at the ma
tional dairy show here. About 80 Of
the 500 prize bulls and cows were con
demned, but We're not killed. The
owners, who value the cattle at sew
eral million dollars, appealed to the
department of agriculture at Wash
ington that special efforts be made to
save the stock. A plan was devised to
isolate the infected stock and subject
it to special treatment for experiment,
tai purposes.
Trace Every Shipment.
With the federal quarantine against
the foot and mouth disease covering
practically every suspected cattle
market, officials of the bureau of an
imal industry have organized a force
of inspectors to trace every shipment
of cattle made from the infected area

MISSING BOY DEAD;
KILLED BY A HORSE
Farmer Says He Buried the Lad
On His Farm

Philadelphia, April Warren Nc.
Carrick, the 7-year-old boy who has
been missing since March 12, was
kicked to death by horse attached
to a farm wagon which was standing
near the boys home, according to
letter received by Robert Cameron,
captain of detectives. The writer, who
has not revealed his identity or the
location of his farm, declares that the
boys hoop rolled under his horse
and that when the child tried to get
it he was kicked in the head.
The farmer placed him in the wagon
and started to drive to a hospital, ac-
cording to the letter, but finding that
the boy was dead, became panic
stricken and took the body to his
farm on the outskirts of the city and
buried it. He states that he will re-
veal the spot where the body is
buried if he is promised immunity.
Captain Cameron stated that the
farmer would not be prosecuted if his
story is substantiated. McCarrick is
convinced that the mystery surround
ing his sons disappearance is solved.

vert his congregation with what was
termed "fabula paschalis." which
was becomingly received by the audi
ence with "peals Of Easter laughter"
The comic sermon was supposed to be
advisable. as the people often became
sour and morose" with the depriva-
tions of Lent and needed toning up
mentally as well as physically.
