T., Sept, 6. (Special) Excitement runs high In this locality ntnong the owners of cattle, over the discovery of Texas fever among the cattl In the government papture on th Indian reservation west ow this city. A bunch of cattle were recently brought over the quarantine line and driven upon the reservation and put into the government pasture. The cattle have been traced back, and bear the brands of ranchmen In southern Texas. They nro supposed to have been recently purchased of their former owners In southern Texas and shipped to Mlnco, O. T and there unloaded. Mlnco is situated Just south of the auarnntlne line, which, at this point, le tho South Canadian river. The cat tle were driven west a short distance ond then were driven over the line. This isgup posed to have been done In the night, as tho settlers nlong the north side of the river always keep a sharp lookout during the daytime, and none, so far as heard from, saw them come over in the daytime. Certain it Is that the cattle were not there a short time ago, but thnt they are there now, and they undoubtedly ore southern cattle, as their brands show. A small bunch of them, about twenty flve In number, were discovered taking the back trail, as It Is supposed, a day or two ago. The farmers who discov ered them saw them traveling straight southward in the direction from which they must have come. They were rounded-tip by one of the farmers, Mr. H. H. Kellogg, and the cattle Inspector was Bent for. Deputy Cattle Inspector W. F. Cantelou, came over from Oklahoma City and was taken out to where th cattle -were being held by Under Sheriff M. S. Hutchinton. Mr. Cantelou made an examination of the cattle, and pro nounced them Infected and they were placed In charge of the phe,rlff, to be held where they were found. Mr. Cantelou smelt a large sized rat, end went north about live miles to the government pasture. Just west of the pasture he found a large bunch of cat tle grazing upon Indian land, outside the pasture fence, and entirely off the reservation. These cattle were in charge of one of Tom Ellison's men. Upon ex amination these cattle were also found to be Infected, and comparison of their brands with the brand books of the Texas Cattlemens' areo?!ation revealed the fact that these cattle were eJso from southern Texas ond showed every Indi cation of 'having been recently brought' In. Mr. Ellison Is the beef contractor for El Reno, ond has the privilege of pas turing a certain number of cattle upon the reservation. Tills number, accord-, Ing to those who claim to be posted In the matter, isal ways greater than the number -allowed and sometimes is sev eral times greater. The entire herd were ordered quaran tined by Inspector Cantelou, and can not be moved from their pivsent loca tion within the government pasture, nor can others be taken in. Agent Wood son was served with quarantine papers fonblddlng this, and the strictest quar antine probably will exist after frost. While some of the cattle are In fairly good condition, the large majority are the poorest of what are known as "tall-! lngs" among cattlemen. They are the extremely poor, weak cattle, unfit for any purpose and whether or not they, could ever be brought to -anything like' a suftable state for slaughter Is very doubtful. Considerable excitement and anxiety, prevails among owners of cattle, and the matter Is being watched with mucb Interest. Cashier Taylor Arrmleil. Edward V.
