a Hospital in Chicago.
Chicago. May 7.-"Oh I wish 1 had a
drink of water" cried Gus Gunderson
at the county hospital. But his at
tendants knowing that water, even the
sight of it, would only make his hydro
phObic spasms worse, had to deny this,
his only request. And so. writhing,
barking, splitting and furnishing, poor
GunderSOn must die.
About so days ago, Gus GundersOn
was bitten by dog. He was making
preparations TO go on a farm for q few
months and a friend gave him an Ordi
nary yellow dog, which he had picked
up. half starved, on the street. This
was his only companion, to be on the
farm. But during the night the dog
aroused the house With his barking.
and Gunderson went 10 him endeavor-
ing to- quiet him. The. dog SNAPPED,
and when an effort was made to make
him lie down he jumped and bit his
master in the face. 1t was only q
slight scratch, and no serious thought
was given to it. The next morning.
however, Gunderson shot the dog, and
then went to his farm life in Lasalle
county. Wednesday morning, the first
symptoms of rabies showed itself. On
attempting TO take a drink of water
he found that he could not swallow it.
He was Immediately siezed with a
spasm, and gagging and tearing at
his throat, he then realized that he
had hydrophobia. He gradually be-

coming oftener and harder toward
evening.
Yesterday he was taken 10 the county
hospital and placed under the care of
the house physician and surgeon.
Everything possible was done for the
suffering man. but nothing known in
science can help him at this late stage.
He has been given morphine in large
quantities. but his sufferings are so
great that it has but little effect It
Will only hasten his death. which must

His condition last evening was some
thing pitiable- Strapped hands and
feet, to his bed. he writhed and twisted
and tore at the bed clothing, begging
all the time for the doctor to kill hin,
and end his misery. Then he would
have a quiet moment in which he
