Heat Causes Loss of $50,000 to
Kansas City Owners.

Two hundred horses have died in Kansas City from the effects of the heat in the last twelve days. This is an increase of ninety-one over a like period one year ago.

"The majority of the horses died in their stalls after a day's exposure to the sun, but a great many died in harness while hauling loads in a temperature of 100 degrees or more," said the official of a rendering works yesterday.
