TEXAS FEVER.

The Plague Breaks Out Again in Kan as. [Topeka (Kansas) telegram.] The Sheriff of Ellis County telegraphed Gov. Glick to-day that Texas cattle fever had broken out there, and that there was danger of its spreading generally through the southern part of the county, unless measures were at once taken to suppress it. The Governor ordered the stricken cattle to be quarantined immediately, and has sent the State Veterinarian to the infected district to take further action in the case. It is not known how the Ellis County cattle became infected, as none of the cattle from Caldwell have been shipped beyond Manhattan.
