BELIEVE GLANDERS IS
PREVALENT AMONG HORSES
SIX ANIMALS OF THE GOVERN WENT PACKTRAIN HAVE BEEN
SHOT AND MEASURES TAKEN TO LEARN NATURE OF
DISEASE—QUARANTINE MAY BE NECESSARY
News lias readied Hie «• iIy In
I In* effect that sickness has l»i*«»k —
imi out anions the horses and
mules in I.he government pack
Ir.ain carrying supplies lo the
■signal stations along the govern
ment line and those freighting
for the road commission. Six or
more animals have been shot, as
it was feared they were suffering
from the glanders.
On Thursday !>r. Jones, Post
<urgeoit at Fort I.iseum, was tel
'graphed for and proceeded to
Heaver l>ain, where appears to
»e the greatest trouble.
The Prospector called up I.icu
Ienaut Sd:allenberger t<> verify J
lie reports, init that officer re
fused to say anything on that1
■subject until such time as he re
ceived word from the medical of
ficer, who has gone to the front
lo learn the nature of the disease
from which the animals are suf
fering. As a precautionary
measure the government stables
mi this side have been fumigat
•><l and other preeant ions taken
to arrest. I In* spread «»f I In* dis
fasi', should ii prove lo be tin*
glanders.
Dr. Jones carried willi him a
supply oT Malinr, a medicine
which if is said, when adminis
lo od, will, in its reaction, defi
nitely sol lie whether or not the
horses have I he glanders. Team
sters in this city are much exer
cised over the news and are anx
ious to h>arn (lie truth, in the
meantime every precaution pos
sible is being taken to arrest I he
Npre.yt of the infection. II is
siVotfosed the disease from which
thy\horses are suffering was
ejfught on the trail between the
(iiis Delta and Willow creek.
Should it prove to be I he ^hin
ders there will be nothing left to
do but declare a quarantine
against horses from the interior,
lest all our stock be infected,
which at this season of the year
would prove little short of a ca
lamily.
