ton of Missouri

A Reign of Terror in the Western Por-
ton of Missouri.
KANSAS CITY (Mo.), November 14th.-In
Saline county, Mo, there is what might be
called an epidemic of hydrophobia. The
matter has become so alarming that q
reign of terror prevails. Three or four
weeks ago mad dog ran through the
county, biting humaS beings and brutes.
Three people were bitten by the first dog
and nine more were bitten by other dogs
that afterward took the disease. OF these
people two have died in the agonies of hy-
drophohia, while the others live in constant
terror of their lives.
A little 5-year-old boy was the first to
succumb and then Mamie Mcmillan, a
young man. died. Horses, cows and dogs
have gone mad all over the county. war
has been inaugurated on all dogs. Last
Saturday in Marshall the City Marshal
was ordered to kill all CANNES that ran at
large. The slaughter began and spread to
the country and since Saturday morning
at least 500 dogs have been killed. The
officers have orders to keep it up for q
month, or until there are no more dogs to
kill.
At Malta Bend three people were bitten
on Sunday afternoon. In the Brooks
neighborhood two were bitten Monday.
and three valuable COWS and horse have
gone mad. In Marshall two people have
died and two horses have been shot. In
the southern part of the county two people
were bitten on Saturday. At Ridge Prairie
a mad steer ran-a-muck through the viii
lsge, and several people were severely in
jured before he was killed.
1t is understood that the same trouble is
being experienced in Pettis county, near
the Saline line.

A Startling Confession-He Says at Times
He is Not Responsible.
BEssEMER (Mich.), November 14th.-Rei-
mund Holzhay BLACK BarD is on trial for
the murder of banker Feischbein. of Belle
ville ILL.,, and for the robbery of the Goge-
bic stage.
Holzhay says he worked on the Oconto
river for three years, and then, desiring a
change, went to Portland, Or, for short
time. He then went up to the Puget
Sound country, where he worked in mill
for five months. He also spent eight weeks
in riding about the country, and was in
the West altogether about eight months.
While in Washington Territory, Holzhay
said he was injured by his horse falling
upon him, and that he laid unconscious
for some time afterwards, and that while
his health previous to this accident had
been good, since then it had been bad.
He could not describe just how it affected
him, but it affected his whole system, and
particularly his head. Ordinarily he felt
Quite good, but these bad spells would
come over him and would last probably a
day, sometimes more. He said that during
these spells he felt strange, but could not
describe his feelings.
During such spells his actions, and any
incident or occurrence taking place at such
times, were all blank afterward He had
several of these spells since his capture,
and probably had dozen Or more since
he was injured.
Holzhay said he remembered the day he
was arrested, and who arrested him. He
could not tell why he was held up. He
says he does not remember who was in the
stage. He did not remember seeing either
Fleischbein or the driver, and failed to
identify the watch and pocket book said to
belong to Fleischbein. He claimed he had
never seen Fleischbein's name on the
pocket. book until his attention was di-
rected to it by Howell.
The attorney fiustered the prisoner
somewhat when he said "Why did you
carry two guns, knowing you were liable
to have one Of these spells at any time and
shoot somebody"
Holzhsy seemed somewhat confused by
the directness of the question, but replied
II carried revolvers to protect myself from
the wild animals in the woods and did not
like to leave them anywhere, as 1 might
not find them again"
Holzhay was the only witness called for
the defense. When he had concluded the
defense rested

Dragged from the River.
As boatman residing in Washington
was rowing to this side of the river, about
$50 O'Clock yesterday morning, he observed
man in the water clinging to pile on
the river front near the foot of l street.

ing Hospital, where he died about ten min
utes aiterward.
There were found on his person brass

40 years of age, and very short of stature,
being only some five feet in hight. He has

The Foreign Crop Declining-Spain No
Longer Competitor.
CHICAGO, November 14th.-A. B. Knapp,
of Napa, Cal, says that all the raisin- grow
ers who have not signed contracts for this
years crop would make small fortunes.
THE crops of Malaga" said he have
fallen off in half a dozen years from
l 100000 to 100000 boxes, and shipments to
the United States have greatly declined.
Spain is no longer a competitor, and the re-
cent storms in California have cut down
the product by one-half This shock struck
the market after most of the Malaga crop
had been disposed of. thus leaving large
deficiency hard to overcome. Prices will
boom, and owners who have saved but a
fractional part of their crop will realize as
much as if they had the entire crop to sell.
Our State now stands at the head of the
line in producing raisins. California has
not only conquered the American market,
but is stretching out for the market of the
world"
