NEW HOUSE DISEASE IS FATAL
Ranchers of Mammoth Lose Many
Horses by a Strange Malady—
Similar to Effects of Loco.
Eugene Shepard, who recently
bought the Burns ranch near Dudley-
vilie on the San Pedro river beyohd
Mammoth, reports a strange malady
that Is just now attacking Horses In
hi» neighborhood, says the Tucson
Star.
The horses attacked by this new
disease become crazed and finally die,
and already great numbers of horses,
have fallen victims to the affliction.
The disease seems to be caused by
the action of some weed eaten, but
just what sort of plant it is that Is
causing the plague is not known, al-
though It has been definitely ascer-
tained that it is not the loco weed.
The matter has been laid before ex-
perts at Washington, but the authori-
ties there aro just as much at sea as
are the local ranchers. -The depart-
ment, however, has accumulated full
data on the disease and its effects
and promises to give a more thorough
investigation.
The matter is serious and unless
the plague is checked soon it bids fair
to wipe out the horses in the affected
neighborhood.
ies, who was charged with having
killed qol. J. Francisco Chaves,,near
Pinos Wells, several years ago. The
chase after the five men covered hun-
dreds of miles of territory and was
one of the most exciting that has oc-
curred in several years. The hunt for
the men was directed by Lieutenant
Collier, several deputy sheriffs and
other officers joining in the chase
which lasted nearly a week. The
chase grew especially exciting in the
Abo Pass, which is still pretty much
of a wild country, although nothing
like it was some eight or ten years
ago. All the five prisoners in charge
of Collier refused to make any State-
ment regarding their guilt or in-
nocence and there are few new
developments with reference to the
manner in which Vigil and his wife
were robbed. As far as can be learned
the Vigils live near Progresso. which

Six soldiers from Fort Bliss in full

Juarez jail. They were arrested by
the police of that town for being drunk
and disorderly. Yesterday morning
the mayor gave them a severe lecture,
telling them that they should be

The doubtful relation of corpora-

cause of the present weakness. The
doubt centers on the outcome of the
