were warned this afternoon
by Dr. G. S. Newsom, coun
ty health officer, to refrain
from eating ducks killed oti
the lower marshes, and par
ticularly in the Tule Lake
country.
There is a strong suspi
cion that the thousands of
ducks dying from some i
trange malady are suffer- j
ing from botulinus poison-j
ing, as an autopsy pcriorm
ed this afternoon guvc many
indications of that dread
disease.
"I consider it absolutely
dangerous for anybody to
eat any ducks from the Tule
Lake district until after a
careful analysis has been
made," declared Dr. New
torn this afternoon.
"Botulinus poisoning is
absolutely fatal, and until
we are certain of the mal
ady which is causing the
death of the ducks, it is
absolutely dangerous for
persons to cat them."
Dr. Newsom, Game Ward
en Barnes and County Agent
Henderson visited Tule lake
where they saw thousands
of the dead ducks. Some of
the ducks were so sick that
they were able to catch them
with their hands.
