\ son OF Mr. George Harris, who
lives west of the river in this county,
was bitten by house dog belonging
to the family last Saturday, under
circumstances that raises the dread
suspicion Of a rabid dog. The boy is
about ten years old, and was bitten on
the right arm near the elbow. The
dog was killed aftera few hours watch
ing. The symptoms as reported are
and fears are entertained
that it was genuine case of rabies.
head Of stock was bitten by
the dog, and it is thought some of the
other dogs in the neighborhood were
also bitten. In the event that 1t was
rabid the result will probably be made
known by the other animals being
before long. It the meantime
a strict watch will be kept upon all the
animals. 1t is to be hoped
that the cur was not rabid but that it
was only affected by some nervous
disease.

Cottage Grove township was brought
to lola by his friends and tried for in
sanity. There was no doubt on this
point and he was placed i'm the county
Jail until the authorities at Osawato-
mic could be written in regard to his
admission to the asylum. Friday
morning he was found hanging in his
cell, having secured a wire with which
he formed a moose, attaching it to the
bars across the ventilator i'm the cell.
1t was supposed that everything had
removed. The lunatic had first twist
ed rope outof strips of bed clothing
but this did not suit so he hunted
around until he found the wire which
bad been used to keep the stove pipe
in place, which he twisted into four
strand wire not two feet long, aud IN
fact just long enough to form asnoose
and leave room to fasten to the bars.
Erickson had tried TO drown himself
several times and it took two men ID
watch him all the time. 40 blame
can be attached tic any ore.
