INJURIOUS REPORT
WITHOUT FOUNDATION

Someone has given rise to the re-
port, probably in a spirit of jest, that
the foot and mouth disease had made
its appearance among the cattle of the
Golconda Land & Cattle Co, also
among the cattle of the George Rus
sell Land G. Cattle Co. at Battle
Mountain.
Owing TO tho fact that much publ
cihg has been given lately regarding
this disease in the East, IL Is easy TO
understand how such a report would
soon become widely circulated, even
though there be no foundation for the
same.
The Independent has made thorough
investigation OF the matter and we
find the report to be untrue and en-.
tircly without foundation. No such
disease is prevalent among the cattle
OF either OF these c%impanies. nor Is
any infectious or contagious disease
of any nature whatever known to ex-
list among them.
a letter received here from II. Pc
trip. superintendent of the Golcouda
Land G. Cattle Co. says that tho re.
port ia entirely untrue and he asks
that u be contradicted because of the
injury that II might work. Mr.. Rus
sell, too. says that there is no truth
whatever in the report. and that II
was probably started by someone in
a jest and that as IL was passed along
II was probably enlarged upon. He
says. however, that incalculablo inju.
ry might result from such n report,
not only to the parties directly con.
cerned but TO the state at large.
We are glad TO be able to authcnti.
caliy deny the report, and tho person
who gave It rise should in the future
lie more careful.
