CHICAGO, Dec. 24.—The certificates of the Live Stock Commissioners for the cattle slaughtered since the outbreak of pleuro-pneumonia here have been sent to Springfield for approval by the Governor. After they are approved the money will be sent to the owners of the cattle. The total amount will be nearly $16,000. The Commission received from the sale of the carcasses a trifle over $30,000, which has been turned into the treasury. The amount already in the treasury for the payment for slaughtered cattle was $47,000. This gives the Commission $77,000 in the treasury, and when the owners are paid for their cattle there will be a balance in the treasury of $16,000.
State Veterinarian Casewell said last night that it had been decided not to slaughter the cattle in the Empire distillery sheds. Tuesday he inspected 207 head now under quarantine there, and did not find any suspected cases of pleuro-pneumonia.
