Independence Tribune: Last week
Frank Perry, living four miles south Of
this city, died after the most eZcruciat-
ing suffering from rabies. Several weeks
ago he was bitten on the hand by q dog
which was suffering from a broken leg.
The wound healed rapidly and no dan
ger was anticipated by the family.
About three weeks ago symptoms Of
hydrophobia manifested themselves, and
he became deliriOus, frenzied and al
most unmanageabls. Medical aid was
summoned and everything possible was
done to alleviate the boys suferings,
but to little effect. He fingered on and
grew weaker, until death relieved his
sufferings.
Clara Dale, the insane daughter of
Mrs. Elizabeth Dale, residing at Hart
ford, Lyons county was burned to death
the other day. Mrs. Dale was absent
from the house and in some way it
caught fire. She was at once inform
ed Of the fact and on reaching home
she found her daughter about sixty
yards from the house, burned beyond
recognition. In her flight she no
doubt hurriedly left the house for the
open air, trying to suppress the flames,
but they were probably famed by the
high wind into a fierce blaze which
consumed all her clothing.

to shreds, and not hair was. left on her
body.

employer, Frank Kennedy, at Lena Val
/ ley, Lyon county, the other day, but on
