Watch this space for further notice.
From the last issue of the Fossil
Journal, we gather the following con
cerning the loss of stock in Wheeler
county resulting from the attacks of
coyotes infected with rabies:
Dr. W. H. Lytle, state veterinarian,
and Dr. L. L, Taylor, deputy state
veterinarian, were in this vicinity
Sunday and Monday inquiring into
the rabies cases that have resulted In
the death of about 30 head of cattle
in this district. They cut out the
brains of a calf belonging to Wayne
Hamilton and a cow belonging to
Chas. Prindle and sent them to Port
land to be examined by the state bac
teriologist, who has since reported
that both animals nad rabies. Mr.
Prindle is the heaviest loser, 21 head
of his cattle having either died or
been killed when in a mad condition.
As other cattle running on the range
with Mr. Prindle's are not affected, it
is practically certain that his cattle
must have been bitten bv n marl
coyote more than a month ago, before
he turned them out of his pasture.
Hamilton's pasture adjoins Prindle's.
and it is nrobahln Hint v, ... "a n
110111118' old calf he lost were bitten
by the same coyote that ran amuck in

he bitten cattle have about all had
