w. w. tShorts, a resident of
the famous Booger Hole com

confessed that he took the box of
clothing. A signed statement to
that effect was made late We'd

The arrest was made by Capt.

the way here the officers state
that Shorts made a clean breast
of the whole affair, stating that
he had gone to the station at
Pine Grove with a team TO get a
shipment of goods for his moth
er who had located in that Sec
ton, and that with the goods
consigned to his mother he load
ed the box of clothing into his
wagon and took it along.
The officers desired to get this
statement in writing. 1t was
for the reason that he had taken
the box from the station in mis-
when he got the goods and was
unaware cf tn mistake until the
next day when he saw the ad.
dress on the box. The box was
left on the porch and was not
opened until three months after
ward. He claimed that he did
not sell the stuff, but gave it
away and never received a cent
of profit from the goods in the
box. He did not explain, when
he discovered me mistake why

committed in that county, and

RINGWORM.

Ringworm, disease of the skin, af- fects most all species of animals found in this country. Cattle and dogs are the most frequent sufferers. It is one of the many diseases that is directly transmissible to man. Many cases are on record of small epidem- ics among the inhabitants of certain communities. One veterinarian re- ports a case in which one sick calf in- fected 21 cows, calves, 9 horses, the herdsman and several other persons.
 While not a dangerous disease, it causes considerable trouble and if not arrested may prove fatal.
 The causative agent is vegetable parasite, Teriea Tonsurous.
 The symptoms in cattle are as fol- lows: Small, round, sharply defined spots are found, covered with scabs, standing either singly or in groups and usually upon the head and neck, more rarely scattered over the whole body. The spots project more or less above the skin and are either bald or covered with greyish white scales or with bristly hair. They may extend to the size of the palm of the hand but
The Coconino sun., 1917-12-14

are usually about the diameter of a twenty-five cent piece. These erup- tion usually confine themselves to the regions of the mouth. Hence the name, dough-mouth or mouth-mange.
 In dogs the seat of the trouble is usually the head and extremities.
 In horses it makes its appearance more frequently on the sat of the saddle.
 The region of the back and shoul- ders is the most common location of the trouble in sheep.
 Treatment: Recovery takes place very readily if suitable treatment is consistently and diligently carried out.
 Isolate the infected animals and clean and disinfect the stalls; destroy all bedding. These are the first things to be done. Then wash the af- fected parts with green or tar soap and remove all scabs and loose hair. Upon the patches thus cleansed apply ointment of creolin, carbolic salve or tincture of Iodine about or 4 appli- cations 12 hours apart, and this will usually result in the recovery of the animal.
 After handling infected animals one should wash their hands in a 1qo cre- olin solution to prevent the infection of other animals as well as safe guard to one's own health.
 R. M. SCOTT, Veterinarian.
