DANGER OF SPREAD OF FOOT.
AND-MOUTH DISEASE SLIGHT.
Minnesota Secretary Of Live Stock
Sanitary Board Explains Outbreak
in Dodge County.

spread of foot-and-mouth disease in
Minnesota was declared slight by DR..

turn from Dodge county, which has
been placed under federal uuaran-
tine.
Doctor Ward confirmed the state
ment issued by Arthur G. Leonard,
president of the Chicago Union Stock

break of the disease was due entire
ly to the distribution of certain lot
of anti-hog cholera serum, that the au-
thorities had complete record show
ing each individual farm where this
serum had been used, and every party
to whom any of it had been consigned.
Outbreak to Be Limited.
The outbreak will necessarily be
limited in extent and of short dura-
ton, Mr. Leonard's statement read.
Doctor Ward reported that 35 hogs
ana 20 cattle on the farm of A. H.
EVerts, six miles northeast of West
Concord, in Dodge county, would be
Killed at once. The disease has been
found on the Everts farm. The case
among the Everts stock are the first
and only known in Minnesota. Mr..
Everts is said to be the only man in
this state who purchased the ques-
toned serum. Twelve of his hogs
show symptoms of the disease.
Doctor Ward predicted the quaran-
tine would be lifted from at least
part of the county in few days.

tary board is a probability.

Henrietta Goes Down in
Dash for Port

Excelsior, Mimi. Twenty-three
passengers, most of them women and
children, were landed on an island in
Lake Minnetonka just in time to save
them from drowning when the biz
launch Henrietta began to sink. A few
moments later the vessel settled in
eight feet of water. IH
The boat sprang leak while plying
between points on the upper lake. The
pilot, Robert Smith, Immediately put
on all the power possible in an effort
to beach the craft, while the passen-
gers,;:ine a state of panic, prayed for
safety.
While the boat was filling with wa
ter 1t was brought alongside an island
! near Seaton station, and the passen-
gers leaped over the sides to the solid
ground. Then the pilot attempted a
| dash for the station. Water poured in
so fast, however that the boat slowed
down decidedly and finally capsized.
The island where the passengers
were landed is swampy The passen-
gers, many of them women and chill
dren from Seton Guild cottage, stuat-
ed nearby, were marooned for nearly
an hour.
Passengers Rescued.

sengers were taken off the island.
The Henrietta is owned by George
Nordley, a resident of the West Arm.
1t is about seven years old and is said
never to have been in an accident be-
fore.
The leak, it was found, was due to
the fact that packing about the rudder
post came loose. The boat is now be-
ing raised by its owner and will be re-
paired.
At the time of the accident the Hen
rietta was endeavoring to reach Seton
station to land those aboard in time to
catch the 9:33 train over the Great
Northern.
Smith, who was at the wheel in the
bow, heard a noise aft and, going back
to investigate, found that water was
pouring into the boat He put on all
power and made for the island.
The launch at that time was midway
between Seton Guilds cottage at the
lake and Seton station.
A small island in the midst of
swamp was the only available spot for
Bleaching the boat. Smith headed for
the island.
1t was after landing the passengers
that he decided on dash for Seton
