DOGS CARESSeS CAUSED DEATH.
Woman Whose Hands They Licked
Died of Hydrophobia.

New York Feb. 16.-It appears from
the history of Ellen Calson, the 10
year-old Swedish girl who died in
Roosevelt hospital on Monday, that a
person may become infected with hy-
drophobia without being bitten by a
dog. The autopsy upon the girls body,
made yesterday under the direction of
Coroners Physician Hamilton Will
liams, revealed the fact that her death
was caused by hydrophobia, although,
so far as can be learned, no dog ever
bit her.
The girl was employed as a servant
by family at Congers, N. Y. She was
brought to the hospital on Sunday af-
ternoon, apparently suffering with a
violent attack of rabies, and it was at
first supposed that she had been Bit
ten by dog. She seemed to be strang-
ling and suffocating, and had the hal
luCinatiOns usual in such cases. When
water was given her. however, she
drank il eagerly and without difficulty
and expressed a wish for more. Her
death was attributed to hydrophObia
by the hospital physicians.
In order to confirm the diagnosis of
hydrophobia the autopsy was held. So
far as an examination of this nature
could determine, the diagnosis was cor
rect. but parts of the intestines were
preserved and will be submitted to mi
croscopical examination.
The history of the girls case was
gone into most carefully. and it was
learned that in the house where she
was employed there were three large
Newfoundland dogs of which she was
very fond. one of the dogs died on
Nov. 20, a second on Nov. 80, and the
third on Jan. 20. The veterinary who
| attended them found no trace of rabies
| in any of them, and yet to them is
| traced the fatal malady of the girl.
| The presumption is that the germs
were communicated to her by the dogs
| licking her hands, which were badly
| chapped

Will Not Contest.

The fact that J. X. Mccormack
was defeated for the senate by two
votes aroused a number of his
friends over the county and as a re,
suit an effort has been made to
have him contest the election,
There seems to be good cause for
contesting as several precincts are
in question, but so far no impress
sion has been made on Mr.. McCor
mack.
At the outset he maintained that
two votes were as GOOD as a thous
and if they we're honestly cast, and
he still maintains that opinion.
The Republic understands that no
move will be countenanced by Mr.
Mccormack looking towards a con.
test.-Palouso Republic.

are unenclosod and the boundaries
thereof unmarked, the original sur
vey stakes set at the corners having
been destroyed; that the alternate
even sections are public lands OF

plaintiff claims the right as a license

Features of the Fight to he Held III
baltimore Friday Night

Baltimore April 26.-CSpecia1.)-The
new assembly rooms where the contest
between Jack Ward, of Newark. and Cas-
per Leon takes place next Friday night,
will be bower of patriotism. The box
ing bouts arranged will be under the
auspices of the Eureka Athletic Club,
who have arranged to have the hall dec
Grated with American flags and bunting.
The boxers will wear the respective col
ors of their nationalities and everything
possible will be done to be in touch with
the occasion. The contest will be the
first since the war fever has taken hold
of the people and from the indications
in other cities it has added to the popu-
larity of the game. Anything savoring of
the combative nature seems to have TAX
en- hold of the followers of the game and
they have been turning out in force. Be-
sides the Baltmoreans who will be in at

KID M'CoY's START.
Tommy Ryan Says He Gave Mae
His First Lessons.

While he was out in Frisco Tommy
Ryan fought his battles over again for
the benefit of few friends. This is
what he said of Mccoy:
'I picked Mccoy up and taught him
all he knows of the game. If you saw
him in a contest you would see my dupli-
cate He holds his head as 1 do and he
sticks out that left after my style.
took him and had him rub me-that is
how he got his start.
"He didn't know a thing about the
game; but l used to make him put on the
gloves and spar with me. He got so he
could go a bit and box fairly clever, but
he never showed me that he could fight.
He would go a few rounds and then
want to quit. He was and is today d
shrewd fellow, but never got chance
until l gave it to him. l liked him and
used to take pleasure in having him
around me-"
Ryan spoke about his first engagement
with him, in which Mccoy exhibited his
astuteness
"He was broke" said he. "and he came
to me and said he wanted to get show
to make some money. Now we can go
over to New York and box and / can get
Ne''A !
lick you but we can split it up
"Oh, well, / told him to go ahead and l
would help him out. The match was
made and / thought it was such an easy
one that | didn't train.
Mccoy used to write me that he WASH
doing anything and that he expected to
take q beating. but didn't care as long
as we could make a little money. All the
time he was working like a mailer.
My wife told me that | was making a
mistake in not training but / thought |
knew better. When / boxed with him he
was so easy for me that l couldn't see
how he had any chance, no matter what
condition I was in. l thought / could lick
him in round.
We'll, we met, and you know what hap
pened The first six rounds he kept
away and l fought myself out. He saw
that / was weak in this round quite as
quickly as | felt it, and then he came at
me.
II went right at him, but could not
strike a hard blow. After punching him
sixteen rounds l fell down from sheer ex-
haustion.
He didn't lick me; I simply gave out.
That was all there was to it.
The next time we came together /
would surely have beaten him if there had
