after while raised his head and dcllber-
atcly bit the right thumb Of his master,
making quite wound i'll The member.
The man was enjoying the best of health
at the time Of this accident and the wound
healed very readily without any treat
ment whatever. The fact that he had
been bitten 10y a sick dog. however. kept
cllnging to him in spite ri bis efforts TO
get rid Of it, and at last he had the dog
killed, and for three months has been as
we'll as ever
About a week ago, however, Mr.. Nc
Farland began to feel rather poorly. tut

He continued alt his work, however ana
never once thought that his ndisp0siton
was caused by the bite Of the dog y
time progressed he ate less and lrss and
at times he would feel a nervous sensa-
ton run from his thumb which had been
bitten through his arm tD his Shoultipr.

In regard to the serious charges
against the treasury of Pierce county,
the Oregonian Of yesterday says:
Mr.. Jacob Hoover, of Steilacoom,
sends us note with a statement that
the allegations against him in connec-
ton with fraud perpetrated on Pierce
county are wholly false; and he charges
malice against the Tacoma Herald,
which gave his name in connection
with the matter. Mr.. Hoover says
the facts are that the treasurer of the
county is a defaulter and has given
false certificates to force balance.
This was perpetrated on scrip once
held by Mr.. Hoover and others, not
on that held by Hoover alone, as the
Herald falsely stated. Nobody at Pu-
get Sound of any responsibility, Mr..
Hoover asserts, believes the charge or
lays the blame otherwise than where
it properly belongs. We do not find
the press there giving it credit; and
having known Mr.. Hoover personally
for many years are free to say that his
character is unimpeachable. He COM
plains of the Oregonian for mention
ing the matter; but if he will read
carefully he will see that the state
ment was made that "Mr. Hoover is
man against whom the public should
be slow to believe such a charge" 1t
seems that the Tacoma Herald has
done him wrong for which it should
make all possible amends.
