COUNTY NEWS
MRS. DURAND CLAIMS CATTLE
HAVE RECOVERED

The foot and mouth disease among
live stock continues to be one of the
chief topics of interest in Lake County.
The spread of the disease, however,
seems to have been checked, only one
new case being reported this week, so
far.
Mrs. Scott Durand has come in for a
great deal of adverse criticism from
government officials because of her re-
cent action. Carl Vrooman, Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture, is quoted as
saying that Mrs. Durand, with an in
junction and the aid of friend at court,
had saved her fifty thousand dollar prize
herd from slaughter, and by so doing
had kept alive menaces to other herds
throughout the United States. In con-
tradiction to this, Mrs. Durand has made
a statement in which she says that her
cattle have recovered and are today as
fine as they ever were. She claims that
they eat heartily, stand on all four feet,
have clean tongues, and that not one has
infection of any kind. She claims that
her determined stand in fighting the &C
ton of federal officials has been done
not only for herself alone, but in the
interest of the fine stock of the United
States.
