WICHITA, KAN, July 31.-Robert Tankersky,
aged twelve, died yesterday Of hydrophobia.
Those who witnessed his death described it az
horrible. For several hours the boy was in
commissions, and 1t was as much as four men
could do to hold him in bed. He was bitten
months ago, bnt the wounds soon healed.
Three days ago hydrophobia symptoms began
to develop. Fear Of water was the first sign
noticed. Wednesday morning the boy had his
first COMMISSIONS, but they were not bad and
did not last long. Yesterday morning he was
again attacked and for hours he howled,
snarled and barked, apparently in awful agony,
until death relieved him.
