THE OUTBREAK IN KANSAS- 
Report of G. C. Faville, D.Y.M. 
{From the Noi'thwestern Live Stock Journal .) 
To His Excellency James B. Grant, Governor of Colorado : 
Sir —Having been appointed by you as a member of the 
committee to investigate the disease that exists among the cattle 
at Neosho Falls, Woodson Comity, Kansas, and in other places 
in that State, I would report the following as the result of such 
investigation : 
In company with J. W. Snyder, of Cheyenne, Wyo., and 
Mr. F. P. Ernest, of Deer Trail, Colo., we visited the herd of 
Mr. Daniel Keith, of Neosho Falls, on March 20th, and found 
his cattle with the following symptoms and history : Mr. Keith 
had at first a herd of 116 cattle. Of these three were cows, 
seventy were yearlings and calves, and the rest were two-year- 
olds. Of these seventy head of yearlings, sixty-three head had 
been bought December 10th and delivered the next day. These 
were gathered in a radius of ten miles in a district south of Neo¬ 
sho Falls. Of the rest eight head were bought of Alexander 
Linn, one mile gouth of the Falls, and about December 5th he 
bought five head of Nelson Stride, two miles south of his place, 
aud about December 17th one from William Inge, two and a half 
miles southeast from the Falls.
