day 10 the Pasteur Institute in New
York for treatment at tho expense of
the fund being raised by the good
people OF Salem, but found the family
unwilling to avail them selves OF this
offer.
Tho Judge then hunted up Alfred
Dehart, the 10 year old boy who had
also been very badly bitten by tho
Same dog and found his mother, who is
very poor, extremely anxious that her
son should go. During the day the
judge had him examined by Drs. Wiley
and Shanks and it was ascertained that
he had been bitten on tho left arm, in
the small of tho back, there being g
large scar thero and also on the middle
finger of the right hand, which gives
him considerable pain now.
Judge Griffin then autographed to the
Pasteur Institute in New York, stating
the boys age, that he had been bitten
four months ago by a rabid dog. that he
was very poor, and asking the cost In
tho afternoon he rec lived telegram in
answer which read: Treatment cost to
us Sl25; do your best to reimburse us of
our expense. Paul Gebier." Then he
secured new clothing for the boy, and
all day long worked hard soliciting
subscriptions, so that by evening he had
over SlOO, but says he will yet need $50
more, as the boys fare will have to be
paid, and possibly that of some one with
him uhiln ha will RI hov
for board while undergoing treatment.
Mrs. r. +. Cannaday, who lives on
Virginia avenue, had her little Z year
old boy bitten by this same dog, and
she Ia most anxious to send him along
with Dehart. Her husband travels for
HUFF, Andrews 81 Thomas, is now out
on the road and the telegram failed to
reach him yesterday, but her brother,
w. p. HUFF, of Roanoke, was expected

and Denart, probably in charge Of DR..
Shanks, may be sent to New York
either to-day or at latest to- morrow.
Delay is dangerous now and those
who read this are earnestly requested
to hand Judge Griffin their subscrip-
tions TO day, SO that this boys life may
