BISMARCK — Scientists fanned out Monday across Lake Ouachita in an attempt to determine if a mysterious illness that has killed six bald eagles at DeGray Lake this year has spread 25 miles to the north. … Officials found 28 dead or dying bald eagles at DeGray Lake in late 1994 and early 1995, but failed to identify what killed them. … Observers have noted several sick coots on DeGray Lake in 1994 and 1996, and are currently looking at the small ducklike birds as a possible source of the earlier eagle deaths and six more in the past nine days. … Several of the eagles that have died at DeGray Lake demonstrated “the same symptoms” — disorientation followed by paralysis and death. Autopsies have revealed neural damage in the birds’ brains and spinal cords.

MAGNOLIA — The remains of the last of five horses stolen three weeks ago from a Southern Arkansas University stable were found in Oklahoma on Friday, a university official said. The other four horses were found alive Nov. 15 near Tom, Okla., in McCurtain County. They were dehydrated and malnourished, said Jeremy Langley, an SAU spokesman. The body of the fifth horse, Credit Card, a 15-year-old sorrel gelding, was found by McCurtain County sheriff’s deputies Friday morning. The exact location of the remains was not released because the case is ongoing, Langley said. The five horses, a livestock trailer and tack were taken from Mulerider Stables at the university before a rodeo Nov. 2. The horses are owned by SAU students who are members of the university’s nationally competitive rodeo team.
