WHITE LEAD KILLS CATTLE.
Stock Of Northwood Farmer Die from
Lickiro Barrels.

Northwood, April 17.-Martin Sc
version. southwest of town, lost pine
head of two ear-old cattle from the
effects of poison transmitted thru the
medium of small barrel which had
once held white lead.
Three years ago when Mr.. Sever
son painted his residence there was
q small quantity of white lead and
oil left after the work had been com
uIeted. The oil was drained off and
the white lead removed from the keg
with a paddle.
Recently Mr.. Severson set the bar
rel outside the building and the cat
tie began to lick 1t. 1t was noticed
that there was quite q rivalry among
the animals to get to the barrel but
no thought of damage occurred TO
Mr.. Severson until they began to go
mad and die. 1t is thought the slaves
of the barrel were saturated with
some salty substance and it is mot
improbable that it had been used for
fish at some time.
Mr.. Severson figures his loss at not
less than $3.50, altho it IL probably
greater, and hopes that the publica-
ton of the story may keep some 9TH
er stock grower from losing in a SIM
liar manner.
