he PLAYED hYDRoPHoBIA.
He was Cured by a Physician by the
Application OF Slipper.

ANsoNIA, Ct, April 1S.-A few week ago
boy living with George Curtiss, farmer Of
Campyille, near Waterbury, was out hunting
woodchucks with Mr.. Curtiss's dog. He
came home and showed on his hand few
scratches, which he said had been made by
the dog just after that animal had been
worrying woodchuck. Last week the boy
showed signs of hydrophobia. He would
foam at the mouth, go through spasm, and
bite and snap just like dog. barking and
growing In the meantime. Physicians from
Waterbury were summoned and, after dag
nosing the case and pronouncing it a case of
rabies, then went.home, leaving opiates to be
taken when the spasms came on, but saying
that the case could not be cured, and it was
only question of time when the boy weuld
die. The lads sufferings were terrible, and
finally DIR. Wiggin of Litchfield was called.
He found the boy lying on the floor, going
thr0ugha spasm, while around him stood
several nelghbors, waiting and watching for
the end: DIR. Virgins glanced at the boys
eyes, felt of his pulse, and demanded glass
water. He was warned that the sight Of
water would cause another and more violent
spasm, but he insisted on its being brought.
Lifting the boys head on his arm, he held
the water to bis lips, and after some time
persuaded the patient to drink it.
This he did, and to the surprise of all no
spasms followed. DR.. Virgins them stood
the boy on his feet. called for slipper, and
taking him across his knee administered
strong dose of practical medicine on the
bare skin. Since then there has been no re-
turn of the spasms, mo frothing at the mouth,
no barking, or growing, or swapping. 1t
was most complete cure, and one which
ought to go ON record as the simplest and
most expeditions treatment known to the
profession. Yesterday the boy was plough
ing, and he conidentially said TO friend
that, after all, 1t is better to do his chores
than to play at hydrophobia.

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, April 1S.-Captain
Hayes yesterday received instructions from
the War Department to permit entries to the
strip at s o'clock this morning. South
bridge across the Arkansas river, the most
direct route to the strip, is three miles from
the border. The road is narrow with a hedge
on one side and wire fence on the other.
The rain made the mud hub deep and before
dark last night the three miles Of road be-
tween tile bridge and strip was blockaded
with wagons and impossible either way.
Many families slept in their wagons which
stood up TO the hubs in mud. United States
Commissioner Bonsell and Captain Hayes
yesterday permitted two men to go into tn Q
strip and construct bridges across the Salt
Fork and Chillico creek and for their CON-
pensation to charge the settlers small toll.
A large party from Wellington, Kansas, con-
structed pontoon bridge and will cross the
stream on 1t. This morning fully 400 wagons
were along the line and strung all the way to
the limits Of Arkansas City were 600 more.
At about o'clock the start was made, and
soon 1000 white covered wagons were In mo-
tion. From an elevation five solid miles Of
wagons could be seen. For three hours
slowly toward the promised land. On the
outside OF almost every wagon, strapped to
the side, were plows, household goods and
farming implements. Extra horses ard
punches Of cattle followed the wagons, often
driven by women and children. One farmer
had built house from the bed of his wagon.
Captain Hayes broke up Camp Price at noon
and is following with the cavalry. His or
ders are to camp tonight on the Salt Creek
fork and then take the line of march tomor-
row for the Oklahoma line Camp will be
struck by the soldiers just across the line.
Captain Hayes will pickett the men along
the Oklahoma line as far as they will reach
His picket line will be joined by a line Of
soldiers from Caldwell. The boomers will
be kept at bay until the hour Of noon on the
I'D arrives, when signal will go up for the
boomers to start. Captain Hayes says he
never saw more orderly set Of men.
