II. c. Kraus had the bad luck Tues
day Of losing very valuable stallion
which he purchased in Iowa last
spring. The horse was apparently
o. K. the evening before and ate his
feed as usual. The next morning he
was found dead Dr. R. T. Dodds was
called and said the horse had blood
poison of the most malignant kind
and advised them not to, skin the
horse for fear of infection. This is
much regretted as the animal was a
beautiful dapple grey and his skin
would have made an elegant robe.
