CALF DIES FROM HYDROPHOBIA.

A six months old calf died out at the Gangloff farm east of town Monday morning after frothing at the mouth and performing in a peculiar manner for perhaps an- hour, and the folks think it was suffering from hydrophobia. Two more dogs were killed in Sunday that were thought to have gone “mad.” One of these was a fox terrier owned by Van Wood, the depot barber, and the other a pointer pup owned’ by young Sam Duvall. Both animals were undoubtedly suffering from rabies when put out of the way. The Duvall dog frothed at the mouth, snapped and snarled and bit its own tongue nearly in two. Over thirty dogs unmuzzled had already been killed here by the marshal! and it behooves all .dog owners to take extra precautions to see that their dogs are kept muzzled and watch for any symptoms of hydrophobia, as the number of canines that were bitten some time ago by a rabid dog is unknown.
