CHASED BY A MAD MULE.
A Horrible Hydrophobia Epidemic
Raging In Alabama.

EUFAULA, ALA, Aug. 20.-The people
in this neighborhood nre In state Of
tremendous excitement over the whole
sale spread of bydrophobia on tho planta-
tion Of Punch Doughtie. Thirty-two
people, all colored, are suffering with the
dreadful disease, and three Of them despe-
rately sick. Mr. Doughtio says that one
of his dogs wont mad on July "a, and bit
number Of dogs and mules, all of which
subsequently went mad. A few days ago
he rode out, at tho request Off field hand,
to inspect the condition of ono of his mules,
which was acting strangely. On rea ching
tho pasture where dozen mules were,
the animal Mr.. Doughtie was riding
neighed, which attracted the attention of
the other animals, and the sick one par
ticularly, which Immediately rushed on
the mule and rider and seized the saddle
of the animal with his teeth.
Mr.. Doughtie dismounted and succeeded
in loosening the mad mules hold, but no
sooner was this done than the infuriated
beast turned upon his owner, who fled for
his life, pursued by the mule. There was
desperate race of quarter of milo
through underground, and Mr.. Doughtie
only saved himself by lodging around
saplings. A small stretch of clearing
intervened between the woods and the
house, and the terrified man took life
and-death chance on making it, Before
leaving the woods the mule had bitten
out piece of Mr.. Doughtie's coat, and,
while manGuvring around the tree, the
animal bit himself savagely in several
places, tearing out a apmouthful of flesh
each time. The race for the house was q
close one, aud just rs Mr.. Doughtie
reached the top of the fence tho mule
overlook HIM on a dead run, but instead
of reaching his victim struck his hoad
against fence post in a wild rush and
was knocked senseess. The mule wa:
afterward killed by Mr. Doughtie.
1t is now reported that the whole herd
of mules are affected. Many Of then
have leaped the fence and will, doubtless
spread the disease among other animals il
the neighborhood. The community is a
q loss how to arrest the disease.
