Sandi The Daily Advocate Victoria, Texas Aug. 26, 1910 Outbreak of Scabies Glasgow, Ky., Aug. 24 -- It was learned here today that the sheep in Barren and adjoining counties are afflicted with scabies, and not only a small portion, but over 50 per cent are afflicted with the disease. The matter was telegraphed to Commissioner of Agriculture M.C. Rankin, who at onece appointed Dr. E.C. Reaves, of Glasgow, Livestock Inspector for Barren County, and other inspectors are to be appointed in the various counties where the disease is spreading. On September 1 a quarantine will be placed on all the sheep in this county and everything will be done to stamp out the disease, which is not only destroying the flocks, but is claimed to be responsible for the shortage of wool during the past year. ======================== Fort Wayne (INdiana) Journal-Gazette Dec. 27, 1910 Children Locked in Home and Three Burn to Death Glasgow, Ky., -- Dec. 26 -- On returning home from an errand late this afternoon, Mrs. Robert Boles, of Wisdom, in this county, was horrified to find her home in ashes and in one corner of the ruins, the charred bones of her three children aged five, three and one years. How the fire started is a mystery. When Mrs. Boles left home she carefully covered the fire, taking every possible precaution to prevent the children from getting into mischief and locked the doors. It was evident that the children had tried to escape, but were trapped and died in each other's arms. ================================= SCKY Archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index?list=south-central-kentucky Barren Co Archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index?list=kybarren Sandi's Puzzlers: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gensoup/gorin/puz.html =====================================================================
