CURIOUS VISITATION IN AMERICA
Clouds of Buffalo Gnats MANY ANIMALS CHOKED OR BITTEN TO DEATH By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright. (Received May 8, 7 p.m.) Vancouver, May 7. Deadly clouds of buffalo gnats which have swarmed over Kansas and Arkansas farms recently are being killed in countless millions by a heat wave. The plague is so bad that many farmers have herded live stock into barns. Two thousand horses and mules died in one Arkansas district last week. The larger animals get their throats and lungs clogged with the gnats, while pigs and poultry die from loss of blood.
