ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
Milford Horse Shows Symptoms
of Rabies and Is Killed.

"A
of Rabies and Is Killed.
A few days before Thanksgiving a
valuable horse owned by Bailey & Co of
Milford was bitten by a rabid dog The
dog was afterwards shot and killed and
the horses wounds were dressed. A few
days ago the horse was noticed acting
strangely and a watch was kept upon
him. All day yesterday he appeared to
be in great pain and snorted and paved
the ground apparently in great agony.
So violently did he become that it was
dangerous to attempt to enter his stall
Veterinary surgeons were called in and
they decided that the horse had gone
mad. His madness was attributed to
the bite of the dog. Late yesterday
afternoon the horse became so violent
that he kicked down the sides of his
stall and demolished everything within
reach of his heels, and also tore and bit
at everything within reach. So violent
did the horse become that it was de-
cided to kill the animal last night in
order to relieve it of it's sufferings. This
was done by blow on the head and a
rifle bullet fired at short range. The
horse was valuable one and had been
owned by the the above firm for a num-
Der of years. 1t is not known who
claims ownership of the dog, but if it is
discovered a suit will probably be
brought.
