Fannin, Hunt, Anderson, Cherokee, Austin, and Grayson, with smaller 
losses in Dallas, Harrison, Wood, Cook, Ellis, Lamar, Rusk, and Up- 
shur; in Travis every case was fatal; in Red River and Fannin, the 
destruction was fearful. In Fannin, the symptoms were stupor, loss of 
appetite, spasmodic muscular contraction, hard breathing, fevered skin,
