INJUNCTION ISSUED

Against Killing of Cattle Ordered by Federal Inspectors. Mansfield, 0., Nov. 36. —The agricultural commission of Ohio and its agents were today enjoined from killing 35 head of cattle belonging to Bloom Buck, of Shelby, and located on the farm of David Hutchinson, in Plymouth township, Richland county. '.After the state and federal inspectors had examined the cattle a week ago they were said to be suffering from the foot and mouth disease and ordered killed. The farm" was quarantined by their order. Other veterinaries were brought in by farmers of the township and the Board of Trustees to make an inspection, and they declared that the cattle did not have the disease. When the inspectors returned to the farm today to kill the cattle the injunction had been granted by Judge Mansfield. The cattle were originally shipped into the county from Chicago, and a number of farmers in the northern part of Richland county had bought some of the herd. The farmers are very much incensed over the action of the inspectors and will fight the case to the finish.
