ENTERED B FRAUD STATE VETERINARIAN TESTS SEVERAL SHIPMENTS. FROM HEW YORK AND ILLINOIS Fraudulent Certificates of Health Ac company Shipments and Make Trouble for Buyers. Lincoln. Investigations have been going on for som time by Dr. A. Bostrom, state veterinarian, regard ing certain shipments of cattle Into tills state from other states which indicated that Nebraska was being made the dumping ground for cattle affected with tuberculosis. After a thorough investigation of the enses Dr. Bostrom issued the following statement: "Fraudulent health certificates cov ering shipments of cattle from Illi nois and New York havo recently been giving the Nebraska state veter inarian much trouble and tho Innocent buyers of such cattle have suffered much inconvenience, worry and finan cial loss. "About January 1 sixty-five head of dairy cows, Holsteln and a few Guern Beys, were shipped by R. D. Quail of Earlvllle, N. Y., to Quail & Son of Miller, Neb. About ono month later these cattle were sold at a public sale at Grand Island, Neb. These cat tle were uccompanied by a certifi cate issued by Dr. J. E. York of Earl vllle, N. Y stating that they had passed the tuberculosis test. No copy of the certificate had been forwarded to the Nebraska state veterinarian, as required by the Nebraska state sanitary regulations. We had abso lutely no knowledge that these cattlo wero shipped into this state, nor that they were to be sold at a public sale. "At this sale eighteen head wore bought by Joe Horsley of Sheridan, Wyo., and the question of a health certificate came up to comply with the Wyoming Interstate regulations. This led to somo suspicion thnt these cattle had come into this state with out a proper health certificate, and therefore they were tested and tho result was that five out of tho eight een reacted to tho tuberculin test. These five animals were ordered to bo shipped to South Omaha, to bo dis posed of under tho supervision of tho government Inspectors. Instead of shipping them to South Omaha they were shipped to St. Joseph, Mo., there by violating the federal law prohibit ing the interstate shipment of tuber cular reactors.
