Quarantine proclamation. 



TERRITORY OF WYOMING, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT. 



Whereas the governor of Illinois, upon the certificate of the State board of live- 

 stock commissioners, removed all quarantine restrictions then in force in Cook 

 County, April 1, A. D. 1888, as no case of pleuro-pneumonia had been found since 

 December, 1887; 



And whereas there seems to be a doubt in the minds of many regarding the 

 full power and force of the proclamation issued by the executive of this Territory 

 under date of June 16, 1887, restricting the importation of neat cattle from Florida, 

 Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and from portions of Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas, 

 South Carolina, and the Indian Territory, into Wyoming, because of the liability to 

 infect our cattle with Texas or splenic fever; 



Now therefore, I, Thomas Moonlight, governor of the Territory of Wyoming, by 

 virtue of the authority vested in me by law, do hereby make proclamation, remov- 

 ing all quarantine restrictions against every portion of Illinois heretofore in 

 force; and I do further proclaim and forbid the importation into this Territory of 

 any neat cattle between the 1st day of April and 1st day of November in each 

 year, whether brought in whole or in part by rail from the localities specified as 

 liable to convey Texas or splenic fever, unless under the restrictions, requirements, 

 and limitations set forth in the said proclamation, bearing date June 16, 1887. 



In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the 

 great seal of the Territory. Done at Cheyenne, this 30th day of April, A. D. 1888.
