SACRAMENTO, Oct. s.— At the meeting of the City Board of Health last night Milk and Food Inspector Dr. Megowan reported that a herd of forty dairy cows on the Perkins ranch, Yolo County, twelve miles north of here, has for some weeks been afflicted with anthrax or splenetic fever, and that half the herd have died and been buried near the surface of the ground. One dairyman in this city is reported to have been using and selling milk from the afflicted herd. Dr. Megowan's report was corroborated by Dr. Henderson, local member of the State Board of Health. This disease is known to be as fatal to human beings as to cattle. The doctor will to-morrow visit the Yolo Supervisors and ask to have the diseased herd quarantined. Hogs that had eaten the carcasses of the dead cows have also died.
