OF RABIES

Bite of Eabid Dog Proves Fatal in Most Violent Form. DSTONE OF NO AVAIL Victim Bids Farewell to Friends Eefore Passing Into Convulsions. Fred Huth: of Clark Station, who "was bitten by a mad dog seven or eight weeks ago, died in the horrible agonies o hydrophobia at 2 o'clock this morning in a doctor's office at East Chicago where he was taken by his friends. Iluth was a harness maker and teamster at Gary and was bitten in the wrist by his own dog while he was trying to unchain the animal in his back yard. . As soon as he realized that he was injured he set out for a doctor's office where the wound was dressed and later he secured the famous madstone from Dyer, the property of Charley Keilman. Nothing very serious developed in the case until last night although Huth has constantly worried for fear he would go mad. He began feeling the effects of the poison late yesterday afternoon and went to the home of V. S. Gallin, a notary in Tolleston where he drew up his will. At 9:30 he began to froth at the mouth and to bark like a dog, going through all the spasms of "rabies especially when anyone spoke of water or when he saw water." Two " f "'Ms' comrades were compelled to hold him, he became so vioent and" he was later taken to East Chicago where two doctors worked over him constantly until 2 o'clock in the morning when the end came. Realised His End. Huth seemed to realize that his end was near and all along the way from his home at Clark Station to where he was siezed with the violent spasms of madness he said good by to his old neighbors and schoolmates. The body was brought early this morning to Stewart's undertaking establishment where the inquest will be held by Coroner Hoskins at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. It is reported here that Huth did not have the rabies, but died from some other cause, and it is said that a postmortem examination will likely be held. One of Huth's old school chums who was present with him at the time he was siezed with the spasms, told a reporter of the Lake County Times this morning that there was no question but what the man had hydrophobia in its most violent form. He would, become wild and, froth at the mouth and when water was offered him he wouTd struggle violently to escape so that it took the combined strength of his comrades to keep him from violence, Huth was only 29 years old and leaves a wife and family. He was well known throughout Calumet township where he has spent the most of his life. BLOOD POISON FROM COON BITE. Jos. Kasper, employed at the city waterworks, was betten by a coon that is kept in the park as a pet. Blood poison has since set in and Mr. Kasper was compelled to seek medical aid. INJURED IN DRUNKEN FIT. S. O'Donnelt, while drunk in. the Hnehnel store in Uostlin. street, in jured his hand severely in trying to strike the proprietor of the store. O'Donnel missed his aim and forced his hand through a plate glass. The police followed him by the bloody trail that he made and arrested him. The man, though still drunk when taken to the station, was very much weakened by the loss of blood. Henry Fisk, a farmer, came to Hammond from Athens, Mich., and was arrested last night on the charge of drunkenness.

COUNTY FAIR IS BOOK

Agricultural Society Are Making Well Laid Plans for Annual Event. EREGTIN GBUiLDiNGS Demands Already JIade cn Management Show that Race and Prize Entries Will Ee Very Large. The forty-eight annual fair of the Lake County Agricultural society, September 1 to 7 at Crown Point is the next big atraction for this section, and Fred Wheeler, secretary, anounces this week that everything is fast shaping for the biggest and best show ever held in the county, and he not only promises it to be as good as last year and the year before, but better in every respect. While the exhibition is yet four weeks in advance, space on the grounds, the stock barns, floral hall and in fact everything is fast being engaged, and it is safe to say that the big reminds will be congested to its limit when the gates are swung open on September 4th. The operation of the county fair has now reached the pinnacle where it is not 'boys play" to bring it to a successful end. It means an expenditure of $4,000 in premiums and expenses - twice as much as in days gone by. While the society has doubled the premiums in the last few years they have at the same time reached out and nearly doubled the attendance. This has been done , by adding features, the Way of" free -special .-attractions, giving "boss" races for blood with lots of horses, showing stock that would be a credit to the state fair, and conducting the show upon purely business principles. The executive committee wish to announce at this time that for a free special attraction two of the most thrilling and daring acts now before the public will be given twice daily In front of the grand stand. Dare Devil Doherty will leap the gap on a bicycle, looking death in the face every time he shoots down the incline. His rigging requires a space of 20x200 feet and is built high up in the air. He starts his bicycle at the highest point of .the incline and dashes down at lightning speed, jumping over an open space of 50 feet onto another incline. Following this will come Frof. St. John, the reckless high diver, whose act is a thriller. He climbs a ladder SO feet high, half as high as the ball upon the court house tower, and dives head foremost into a tank of water upon the ground 4 feet wide, four feet deep and four feet high. Dare Devil Doherty and Professor St. John come direct from Cincinnati, Ohio, and their daring acts are now the talk of the country. Besides this all kinds of amusements will be on hand. Plenty of music shows, etc. The new buildings costing $2,000 are being erected. Th3 barns will be full of prize winning cattle, sheep and hogs, lots of poultry and fancy stuff in the ladies department. Supt. Ed Laws, owing to the demand for trotting horse stalls is erecting a tiew building to house them. As has been the custom school children under 13 years will be admitted free on Thursday, Sept. 6. For information concerning the show write Fred Wheeler, secretary, Crown Point, Incl. TOOK NO CHANCES. A small fire occured at the fruit stand owned by A. Orsolina at 59 West State street last night about 12:30. The proprietor was getting ready to close up, when he noticed a flame in the corner back of the counter. He got some water and soon had the fire under, control. He then telephoned to the fire department for a man to come over and see that the fire was entirely out. There was not much damage done except to the fixtures of the store. THE WEATEES. Showers tonight. Wednesday showers followed by fair and. warmer in' afternoon, :

Louis Republic 00IIMI3 ' FEEL NO SHOCK No Flurry Among Small De positors in Local Savings Institutions. HO SYMPATHETIC MOVEMENT Milwaukee Avenue Failure Does Not Disturb Accounts Carried by Small Tradesmen. The fear that the failure of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank of Chicago would have some moral effect on the industrial savings institutions of the county to the extent of the .Wholesale withdrawal of deposits proved unfounded. Inquiry at the Hammond, East Chicago and Whiting banks which carry an extensive line of savings accounts elicited the information that applications for withdrawal cf balances was not above normal, while there was the usual number of new accounts opened. It was impossible for any of the Hammond banks to be affected directly by the closing of Paul O. Stensland's place of business as none of them had any business relations nor correspondence with the defunct Institution. None of the local bank managers interviewed this morning expressed any apprehension that it would cause any uneasiness in the minds of their small depositors, John Dyer of the Commercial bank saia: l-aiiures or tnis Kind are unquestionably the result of inefficient bank examination. One sure way to stop bank failures is to do as they do in China where there has not been a failure for 4 00 years; namely, hang all of the officers of defunct bank." The discontinuance of the Chicago institution will have positively no effect on this bank. W. F. Mashino of the First Na tional bank said: "The defunct West Side bank had no business with our bank and we are in no way affected by their failure. The majority of the banks that fail do so because their oScers become involved in outside deals or gamble or speculate with the depositors' money. To my knowledge there were no Hammond depositors in Stensland's bank."

The "stickup" men are abroad anJ one more sensational affair Is to be credited to the north side, where the inadequacy of the police protection is resulting ia what amounts to almost a reign of terror. Last night two masked men with a shooting iron apiece held up and robbed Ellis Bennett, the 'proprietor of the Delaware House, just after he had left a street car at the Fort Wayne crossing of Sheffield avenue, on hia way home from Chicago. Mr. Bennett started west on the Fort Wayne tracks End had reached a point opposite the G. H. Hammond company's ice house:?, when he was accosted by two rnoa who pointed, two guns uncomfortably near his face and demanded, "hands up" in no uncertain manner. Mr. Bennett wa3 sensible and complied with apparent willingness. One of the men then went through his poeketj and relieved him of about $5 in change. When the men had finished taking up their j collection, they quickly disappeared in the darkness. Subscribe for the La'ie County lines. The Tines' Wast Ads. Psy.
