A weary, travel worn man, bronzed
by exposure and pale with long en-

Harry Lott, eighteen years of age, died
at his fathers residence, on West Wash
lngton street, at quarter before eleven,
Sunday night. His death is supposed to
have been caused by hydrophobia.
About five weeks ago, while playing
with pet dog young Lott was bitten on
the finger. His wound was slight, and
did not cause him any uneasiness. Fri
day afternoon the boy was in the ware
house at the station, talking with the
men there on different subjects, among
them the disease of hydrophobia.
During the conversation young Lott
was noticed to have spasmodic witch
ing of the muscles, but he soon recov-
cred, and went to his home. On Saturday
he had another attack of the same sort,
and physician was sent for. The boy
grew steadily worse, and at times was
slightly excitable and almost uncontrolla-
BILE The sight of water and other liquids
gave him muscular spasms, but did not
render him unconscious. In fact, it was
only at short intervals that he was
out of his head.
All day Sunday he was in a bad condi-
ton, and at times it required the efforts
of three men to hold him. His head
would be thrown back, his arms would
become rigid, and he would fly from one
object to another with the rapidity OF
lightning, jumping from the floor with
such force as to strike his head against
the ceiling. Then he would throw him.
self on the bed, Immediately Jumping up
and running towards his father, attempt
ing to grasp the latter around the neck
During some of these paroxysms young
Lott would froth at the mouth and how
like dog. His screaming was so great
that it created quite an excitement in the
neighborbood, and several people gath.
cred in the street in front of the house.
As the symptoms became more aggra

and every thing was done to quiet the
boy, but of no avail About half-pasI
seven, Sunday evening, the physician in
charge of the case called on his patient
and found him down stairs, sitting in al
easy chair, apparently much quieter than
usual He expressed a desire to go W
stairs, and started to walk, passing but &
few feet when his head flew back. hi'
legs and arms became stiff, and he was
forced to sit down.
After sitting still for few minutes he
made another attempt, and this time sue
