 PHOENIX, J1.y S.-That the cattle of C. F. Cartwright, which recently died in a sudden and mysterious nan ner, were killed by prussic acid pois- cning, is the opinion Of the state vet erinarian. Dr. R. J. flight.

E Of the cattle were found l;- irg together, II of them dead and the other two very sick. DTS. High; and Ramsey were called and managed to save the two, but just what was the cause of death was something of a puzzle. Dr. Flight stated at the time that he believed it to be prussic acid poisoning. but requested that he no: be quoted until an analysis could be made.
 Contents of the stonachs were ser: {, the state laboratory at Tues on. and later some samp.es c' the Johnson grass the cattle had been eating. and although tho analysis failed to disclose the presence of the acid. the doctor is still of the opinion that his origin, al diagnosis Is correct.
 | "Prussic acid poisoning from secon growth sorghums that have come up ;.nder conditions of heat and drouth are not uncommon experience" said the doctor last evening, ''in fact, it is so well known that many farmers will no; take the chance of pastlring thei s;oci. or any second growth sorghurs
