HORSES AND COWS POISONED

Ihe report comes of livestock pois-
onlng in the Del Norte neighborhood
during the past few days. A fine
team OF horses belonging to a Mexi-
can by name of Montoya were poison
ed IN the barn, as evidenced by a
quantity of poisoned oats. and found
dead. Seven fine milch cows, owned
by j. A. Hail. northeast of Del Norte
were brought in from the range one
night and MIXED, and the next morn
ing all seven were found dead in the
corral. The Prospector says:
The most probable cause is given
by Agriculturist Thomas, who was
present Saturday morning and ex-
ahmed the stomachs and later the
range upon which the cows had been
feedlng He is of the opinion that
night shade or the wild tomato plant
IS the cause of the deaths, basing his
conclusion on tho fact that this plant
was found in the stomachs of the an
imals and also found quite an
amount of it growing on the knols
where they had been feeding during
the day.
He is very positive that strychnine
or such poisoning was not present as
there were no indications whatever
of such.
1t is an established fact that the
night shade is a poison to animals
under some conditions and it's pres
ence in the stomachs indicates very
strongly that it was the cause.
Several cases of poisoning of cattle
IS reported over the valley and rang
