ANTHRAX AT MOUNT ALBERT.
(BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Auckland, Last Night. Another case of the dreaded cattle disease, anthrax, has occurred in the neighbourhood of Auckland. This time the outbreak is of small extent, only two animals as yet having been lost. The cases occurred in the Mount Albert district on a small five acre property. First a dairy cow died suddenly under mysterious circumstances, but no suspicion of anthrax was apparently aroused. Immediately afterwards another animal of the same place died, when the matter came to the knowledge of the local Stock Department, and a slock inspector, accompanied by a Government veterinary surgeon, went at once to investigate the circumstances. A post mortem examination was made on the second beast that had died, and specimens taken and sent to Wellington for bacteriological examination. The result is that the experts of the Agricultural Department have pronounced the case one of anthrax.
