NOBLE, LosES SEVENTEEN
HEAD WITHIN SHORT TIME.
VETERINARIANS UNABLE TO
DIAGNOSE THE AlLMENT
Two Other Animals Sick and II Is
Said Will Die-Veterinarian From
State College Unable to Throw Any
Light on Cause--Beiieved Feed Was
Not Responsible.

With seventeen head of cattle dying
within a few hours after being taken
III, Herbert Benson, a farmer living a
half mile west of the county farm, is
steers which he was feeding for mar
ket. Two others Of the lot stricken are
now Ill, and it was said that they will
doubtless die. Veterinarians have been
unable to diagnose the strange disease,
further than declare it due to some sort
Of poisoning. Feed is not believed to
have been responsible.
Mr.. Benson last fall bought large
number of cattle to feed and the ones
which died were among the number.
The greatest number Of the feeders
came from North Dakota
On Sunday the cattle were apparent
ly in the best of health, and ate their
suppers without showing any signs Of
illness. Monday morning several were
sick, and some died within one and a
half to two hours after being stricken.
They appeared crazed with pain, and
would run at any one who happened
to be in the lot.
Veterinaries Are BaffIed.
DR.. COzzens, q veterinarian from
State Center, was called. and was un-
able to diagnose the trouble. He sent
for q veterinarian from the state ex-
pertinent station at Ames, and he too
was unable to tell definitely what the
trouble was, further than to agree with
Dr. Cozzens that some sort of poison
ing was responsible. Both veter1nar-
ians did not believe that the feed Civ
Ell the cattle by Mr.. Benson had caus-
ed the trouble, and advised continuing
the same feeding. corn, ensilaSe, ana
roughage. The veterinarians think that
possibly the cattle became infected with
the germ that caused tho illness as
much as six months ago.
Ships We'll Cattle.
Instead of waiting to finish the cattle
he has had on feed Mr.. Benson receiv-
ed permission to dispose Of the we'll
cattle, and Thursday night shipped
about forty head to market. AS far as
could be learned the disease In the Ben
son cattle has not appeared in any
other herds In tho neighborhood.
