Lizenby, neighbors of Mr. Pass, were both bitten by the pup. It tried to bite others, and bit chickens and other animals. On the 17th the dog was killed. Not much was thought of the bites at the time. Last Saturday Mrs. Pass developed signs of hydophobia, and Tuesday morning she died in £reat agony. V Mr. and Mrs. Lizenby became alarmed after the development of the gables in Mrs- Pass and are now in the Pasteur Institute at Chicago taking treatment. Fears are also entertained that Borne of the stock, eattle, hogs and horses, that were bitten by the pup, may be taken by the disease. tyrs. Pass was well known in Gillam and Hanging Grove townships this county, where they formerly resided, also in Rensselaer, where she had relatives, and a son, Jasper Pass, now lives here in Jordan township.
