to rid the State of glanders. Before an animal can be killed by 
order of the Commission, the law requires the inspection of the 
suspected animals by the State Veterinarian, who reports the case

the owner given notice, so that he may appear with such evidence 
as he may wish to present. If the commission find the animal 
diseased, as charged, he is then ordered killed.— National Live
