of Dunlap over dogs and cattle going
mad. Within ten days past thirteen
cattle have been shot in one neighbor-
hood, eight of them from the herd of
George Runnells. The cattle appear to be
''dumpish" and then refuse to eat,
becoming excited and wild, froth-
ing at the mouth and starting at
any moving object One man was
chased through the brush and trees
for over a quarter of a mile be-
fore he COLD escape from one of
the mad cattle. Mr.. Runnells had
eighteen head of cattle in this pasture
and whenever there is any sign of the
disease apparent in an animal it is shot.
About twenty dogs in the vicinity
have been killed. The symptoms were
identical with those of the cattle. A
child of James Fantz was given milk
from COW that was shortly afterward
affected. The child shows symptoms
of hydrophobia and is in critical con-
dition.
