HYDROPHOBIA IN
COUNTRY DISTRICTS
Farmers in Town of Two Rivers
Lose Valuable Cattle Dur
ing Week
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES ARE TAKEN
Mad Dog on VOgeItanz Farm Spreads
Disease and Animals are Killed to
Peryent Further Transmission.

Farmers Of the town of Two Rivers
and in that section of the county are
considerably alarmed over hydrophobia
with which number of cattle and
horses have become affected and which
it is feared may spread and conditions
become serious. Two animals on the
farm OF Wenzel Vogeltanz have been
killed by order of Veterinarian r. S.
Mitchell, Of this city, who was called to
attend the cases and pronounced the dis
ease hydrophobia. Other animals in the
Vogeltanz barns are afflicted and it is
feared that it will be necessary to dis
patch several more although every eff
fort is being e1erted to prevent further
spread Of the disease 1t is reported
that horses and cattle on other farms in
the neighborhood have exhibited symp-
toms of hydrophobia but there has as
yet been no pronounced case reported.
The disease is attributed TO the bite of
mad dog which ran amuck through
that section two weeks ago and attack
ed number of canine, with the result
that several became affected with rabies
and were shot, and it is probable that
the attacks Of one or more OF these on
the farm animals Is responsible for the
serious conditions at present. State
Veterinarian Roberts, of Janesville, has
been notified and is expected to arrive
here this week TO consult with DR..
Mitchell relative to the methods for
checking the disease.
In the northern section of the state
during the past few months reports of
hydrophobia among cattle have been
frequent and the state authorities have
been considerably troubled. In Mani
towoc county in the past hydrophobia
has been confined to canine and prompt
measures have been adopted Reedsville
and Maple Groye, few weeks ago, ex-
perienced no little trouble and u small
scare, but both towns are now relieved.
The only safe guard against hydropho-
bia is aud this is the plan followed in
most cases.

Situation Has Become Serious At
The Little ManitOWOC And
Damage Is Heavy.
cITY IS TO TAKE MATTER IN HAND
|nroads Made By The Lake Have Left The
Road And Bridge In Dangerous Con.
ditiOn - Town Will Assist
With The Work.

Steps are to be taken at once by the
City to construct breakwater and pro-
lection pier at the Little Manitowoc
where the roadway is in dangerous con-
dition as a result of the inroads made by
The lake. At the meeting of the City
Council Monday evening the matter
was discussed and the city engineer was
ordered to prepare plans and an estimate
on pier $50 feet in lenghth. An ordi-
nance will probably be adopted at the
next meeting of the board, and the work
will tn en- be pushed to completion.
The conditions at the Little Manito-
have long been source of much trouble
to both town and city authorities and
neither was willing to assume the entire
burden of expense for protecting the
property, but it has become dangerous
and it is imperative that there be no
more delay. Since 1895, according to
statements made to the City Council,
based on investigation, q total of 1856
feet of land has been submerged and
the road will now permit the passage of
but one team. In a short time If no
steps are taken to protect it, the road
will be completely obliterated The
Hickey aud Allen property, which is
located in the immediate vicinity, is to
b, provided with a sea wall, the speci'
fications calling for 400 foot break
water. The consent Of the govern
ment will be necessary, however, be-
fore tho work can be undertaken and a
delay of several months is inevitable.
1t is the intention Of the city to pro.
ceed with the work outlined independ-
emily of of the town OF Manitowoc, but
1t is expected that the town authorities
will cooperate and give assistance as
the matter is of great importonce to
both. The government has been peti
toned to take the matter in hand and
favorable action may result in time,
though Congressman Davidson has not
yet brought it to the attention of the
department and in recent letter ex-
pressed doubt that aid could be obtained
because the government has not made
practice of considering petitions Of this
character. Mayor Kemper, has
personally interested himself and it was
through his efforts that the Council was
induced to take the prompt action which
will result in at least temporary relief
