PRICE ONE GENT
FIGHT NITHMADDENED HORSE
PERCY WELLS HAS A DES-
PERATE STRUGGLE.
The Animal Is Killed And Its
Head Shipped to Baltimore
For Examination.

serrific encounter with a madden :
ed horse seeking TO tear all within
reach in his toaming jaws was partic-
ipated in Sunday morning by Mr..
Percy Wells. Ii was only by the
greatest skill and agility on his part
that he was enabled TO save his life
and is now in fear lest he has been
inoculated with the virus OF hydro
phobia.
After his escape the animal was
killed and its head is now undergoing
an investigation at the Baltimore City
Hospital TO ascertain whether or not
il was suffering from rabies. Every
indication is that the animal was
afflicted with some species of madness
which rendered il as vicious as a
rabid dog. The fight took place on
the farm formerly owned by Frank
Harding and now rented by Prof.
Robert l.. Werntz. The horse, which
was a very valuable. was owned by
Professor Werntz and Mr.. Wells is
employed on the place.
Although very quiet and docile
horse before that time about three
weeks since the animal displayed eyi-
denoe of rabies. While he was cross
ing field in which the horse was
confined Mr.. Will Werntz, a nephew
of the professor, was chased by the
animal. With widely distended Jaws
and flaming eyes il dashed after him
IL followed him around the field sew.
eral times before he had an oppor-
tunity of climbing over the fence. II
was thought that the horse was sim
ply afflicted with a temporary indis,
position and il was placed in the
stable.
Sunday morning Mr.. Wells entered
the stall in which the horse was tied
for the purpose of feeding it. He was
crowded against the side of the stall
by the maddened brute, which caught
him in the groin. Mr.. Wells broke
loose and tried to get out of the stall.
Before he had succeeded in doing so,
however, the animal again caught
him, this time by the arm. 1t hung
on desperately and it was only after
strong struggle that he was enabled
to free himself. In doing so his hand
was thrust into the horse's mouth and
severely lacerated. He managed to
| get out of the stall and made his way
TO the house in a half fainting condi-
tion. AS it was known that q mad
dog had been in the neighborhood dur
ing the late fall it was feared the
horse had rabies and Mr.. Wells was
hurried to the pasteur department of
the Baltimore city hospital.
! There the wound on his hand was
cauterized. DR.. n. G. Kierle, who il
the Pasteur physician, told Mr.. Wells
the best thing to do would be to kill
| the horse before it would do further
damage. He also asked that the head
of the animal be sent him as he de-
sired to make an investigation to find
if it had been afflicted with rabies
When the facts were conveyed to Pro-
fessor Werntz he ordered that the
horse be killed. This was done aud
yesterday the head of the animal was
shipped by Adams Express to Dr.
Kierle.

A very delicate surgical operation
was performed early last evening, as
stated in last nights Capital. at the
Emergency Hospital. DR.. st. Clair

Baltimore, amputated the leg of
Bernard Lynch, who was run over by
the IL. 80 train on the Annapolis
Short Line yesterday by falling from
the slippery platform beneath the cars.
The left leg was amputated above

leg by DR.. J. Oliver PuIvis, DR..
Eugene Mullan and DR.. Louis B. Hen

Barnard Lynch has q wife and five
children They live on Clay street
near the county Jail and have no other
means of support except the husband
and father, who is now q cripple for
life and will be laid up in the hospital

HENRY {. DENN|SON DIED.
PASSES AWAY SUDDEN L Y
THIS MORNING.
He Was Numbered Among The
Most Progressive Men of
The City.

With the death. at an early hour
this morning. of Mr.. Henry Dennison
at his home, No. 81 Madison street,
Annapolis loses one of its foremost
members of the.rank aud tile who have
done so much TO promote the advance
and business progress of the city.
His death was sudden aud unexpect.
ed and it came at time when there
was every reason TO believe that he
was on the road to recovery He haC
suffered, for a number of years, from
heart trouble and since last Septem-
Der the attacks had been more pro.
nounced and acute. but during the past
week he was thought TO bo greatly
improved.
He continued at his employment as
a painter and last night returned tC
his home in excellent spirits and ap-
parently feeling better than usual. He
retired at his usual hour and slept
peacefully during the night. A few
minutes after O'Clock Mrs. Dennison
was awakened by the movements OF
her husband. AS he fequently held
his breath as the result of pain she
shook him. It was needless, however,
and in few seconds he was dead. A
physician was summoned, but death
had occurred long since.
Mr.. Dennison was 90 years of age on
September last He was born in
Westbrook, Conn, and lived there till
the opening of the Civil War Join.
ing the Sixth Connecticut Volunteers
at New haven he served through the
trying days of the war. he returned
to his home for year and then came
to Annapolis, where he has since
lived. Thirty seven years ago on Oc-
tober 2S, he was married to Miss Myrs
j. Mason, a native of Maryland
Since coming to this city he has beer
prominently connected with all public
matters, having to do with the bet
terment of the city and its residents.
For nineteen years and ten months
he.was sexton of ST. Anne's Church
and we'll and faithfully performed hil
duties. Failing health and a desire
TO apply himself to more lucrative en-
ployment he resigned as sexton two
years ago. During his residence here
he has been continuously engaged al
a painter and much of his handiworl
is to be seen in the better houses oi
the city.
Mr. Dennison was a member of th,
Knights of Pythias and the Red MeI
and was an active member of thu
Painters Union. He was q typica
exponent OF the better class of trade
unionists and often curbed the impa
tience of others who would precipitat'
undesirable conditions. He is sur
vived by his wife and brother, WHIT
resides in Connecticut. They have
no children and Mrs. Dennison is-lef
without any relatives. Funeral ar
rangements have not, as yet. beer
completed, but services will probably
be held Thursday Lmorning at st
Anne's Church

No Spiritual Advisor 2

Although Julius, alias "Tots"
Cooper, has been condemned for mur-
der and has scarcely more than month
to live, no minister of any creed has
been to see the condemned man in his
cell at the jail and he has had no
spiritual advisor. The Guild of Mercy
have looked after his spiritul needs as
best they could, and have talked. sung
and prayed with him, but it does
seem that some minitser of his own
color ought to take an interest in the
man for humanity's sake, not TO say
ChritsiRnity's sake. Cooper seems
utterly Indifferent to his fate. He
laughs and talks with his keepers and
the day and night watch, and spends
his time in listless sort OF way. No
one is permitted to visit him without
a written order from the Sheriff, and
but few have attempted to get this
permission.

Theoretically, civilized nations
ought not to 60 to war, but the only
apparent force for any potency for
its prevention seems to be through
readiness for It.. Unless the United
States Is to retire within itself 1t will
have an enorm nous foreign trade, and
it must be prepared to defend 1t. This
trade will be especially important
with the countries bordering the Pa
cifc. Whether Jap or Slav wins in
the present conflict, the day of mighty
events is drawing in the Orient, from
which our country cannot stand aloof
and for which 1t must be ready with
an army and militia prepared even
to the smallest detail, and every part
should learn its functions from the
compa ratively inexpensive and blood.
