FROM HYDROPH0BlA
Bitten on the Right Thumb by Mad Dog
on March s.
HE SUFFERED FRIGHTFUL AG0N
linn ediately After the Boy Was Bit
ten the Wound Was Dressed and No
Unusual symptoms Were Observed
Until Wednesday--IIc Grew Worse
Rapidly and the Efforts of the Phy-
out Avail.

After forty-eight hours of suffering
with intense agony Bennie BeVan aged
years, one of the boys who were
bitten on March by a mad bull dog ON
the West Side. died Saturday evening
of hydrophobia at the home of his pa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Bevan, of the
corner of Academy and Mullen street.
Death was attended with the usual
insanity and terrible pain characters
tic of hydrophobia The little fellow
had been bitten on the thumb of the
right hand on the date above mentioned
and Dr. F.C Hall was Immediately sum-
mOned and cauterized the wound, which
healed rapidly and to all appearances
! thoroughly. After few days at home
! the boy went to school and nothing
alarming was noticed until last Thurs
! day when he became restless.
The next day he was kept at home.
! A few nights before the boy had been
! frightened by two men in an alley near
| the BeNan home and this excited his
mind so that he could not sleep.
CONDITION GREW WORSE.
His condition Friday was such that
! DR.. Roberts was convinced that the boy
was suffering from hydrophobia. Dr.
Roberts prescribed for the lad and call
| ing later in the day he found his pa
tient showing grave symptoms of the
dread disease.
Saturday the presence of the disease
was unmistakable. The boy began to
! bark and snap and repeat his prayers
in u pitiful way. DR.. Hall arrived at
the house and afterward Drs. Moylan.
Lindabury. jenkins and Roberts and
a consultation was held.
For several hours the boy suffered
and each moment seemed to be more
terrible than the preceding. He lay
upon the bed, with the physicians hold
ing his arms and legs as he struggled
to bite those near him.
The scene was an awful one and left
vivid impression on the minds of
those who saw it,
The boy would glare wildly about
barking, swapping and all the while
forthing at the mouth. Only when the
mother was near did he seem to quiet
for time. but even that in the later
moments did not effect him and at
o o'clock Saturday night he died in fright
full agony.
The absence of the dead boys father
who is visiting in Wales is Il sad fea-
ture incident to the death.
MUCH ALARM FELT.

that of Judge White, who was
born in Eden in 1888, and whose
boyhood and manhood were
mostly passed there until 1891.
Mr.. White completed his edu-
cation at Johnson academy and
was for several years a success
full teacher. He was engaged for
many years in the manufacture
of potato starch, being at one
time a partner in four different
mills in this section. The price
paid for potatoes was at first
ten cents per bushel, but the
maximum price after the war
was 80 cents, and many thous-
and bushels were handled.
The decline and termination OF
the business, in the early sos,
was due to the introduction OF
western corn starch at a much
lower price. Later Judge White
did the insurance business of that
town, was Town Clerk, Superin-
tendent of Schools and trial JUS

every office in his native town
except Overseer, and represented
