Later, Singapore provided one of the links in the chain. And then, a ghost town in Wyoming. But the tragic climax was not reached until a dreaded scourge began in Canada, and the sharp staccato barking of military rifles started to savage and ruthless slop.

I've seen the reports, Ken. Over 1500 head of cattle already destroyed. Nobody knows how many thousands more will have to go before they get under control. Is nothing else they can do, Chief? I know.

Oh, major tragedy. Millions of dollars washed down the drain. A beef shortage that could last for years. But I guess we don't have to worry about that right now. Chief, you ever hear of a ghost town in Wyoming by the name of Morton?

Morton? I know. Should I have? Better read this wire. Hmm? Came in from Washington about 10 minutes ago. Alright. This cartoon of the interior reports perefort steer found dying in Morton, Wyoming The diagnosis confirmed is...

What mouth disease? Yeah, can. How... how is that possible? They've got it under control in Canada. This town of Morton must be a thousand miles south of the border. How could the virus have possibly gotten down there?
