LIVE STOCK DYING
 OF THREE DISEASES
Outbreaks Are Causing Heavy Loss es in Arkansas. Says Dr. Cow Does Not Blame Anyone as
 Responsible.

Little Rock, Aug 5.An outbreak of anthrax. black leg and glanders, three of the worst infectious dis eases known to the live stock in dustry in Arkansas, is spreading rapidly in some sections of the stale and seriously threatens the live stock industry in several counties, according to Dr. R. M Cow, state veterinarian
 q am not inclined to think that anyone is directly responsible for tho spread of these diseases, he said, However, l cannot fully un- derstand some of the attending con- ditions. For instance, anthrax is not only carrying of animals in La fayette, Chicot and Arkansas cOun- ties, but also in counties where the disease has seldom been known to occur Sebastian is the most strik- ing example of this condition at present. Several cases of anthrax have been reported for the first time.
 Black leg is doing most damage at present in Lonoke, Sebastian and Benton counties, while glanders is causing Pulaski county people the most worry. I would advise every one t0 avoid the use of the public drinking trough and to watch close ly the feed bags and feed boxes and protect their animals by taking ev- cry precaution possible.
 My office is seriously handi- capped in the present situation, be- cause there are only two assistant state veterinarians who can aid the farmers without expense. Many calls are coming from all sections of the states and persons who do not understand the situation do not realize why il is impossible to am swer their emergency calls without delay. Dr. R. Scriber, Dr. George Caldwell and myself are on the road continuously and farmers must help by taking every precaution and re- porting the first appearance of any of these diseases in their commun- ilies so that they may be stamped out before they have had a chance to spread and make serious trou- ble. Whenever you suspect sick COW, a horse or mule to be infected with contagious disease. report the case immediately to the office Of the state veterinarian, Remem- her these diseases spread rapidly and their control is community problem. During the present crisis it is every mans business to see that his neighbor's and his own animals arc free from contagious disease V

JULIUS GARDEN FOUND GUILTY
Fined for Disturbing the Peace, but
 Appealed to Circuit Court.

Julius Garden was before Police Judge w. B. Thomas on Thursday on a charge of breach of the peace, and was given a fine of S5, which, with the costs, amounted to $S.i0. The information was filed by City Attorney L. N Burnett on the com plaint of Mrs. E o. Jackson of the F. 0. Cafe. The allegation in the information was that the defendant had "unlawfully disturbed the peace Of Mrs. E. 0. Jackson by using lan- guage in her presence and her hear ing which in it's common acceptance was calculated to anger the plain tiff and to cause a breach of the peace, or an assault, said language being in substance that the defend ant after ascertaining from Mrs. Jackson that she was a married woman and that her husband was not present, asked that Mrs. E. O. Jackson go driving with him, and in- sisted on showing her a good time, the defendant not being a friend nor having an acquaintance to give him reason to think such a proposition would be accepted"
 After the assessment of the fine the defendant immediately gave no- tice thru his attorney, B. J. Stuart, of appeal to the Circuit court, The appeal was granted and the bond fixed at Si00, which was signed by Dr, C. Cochran and Dr. w C. Van diver as securities.
