BITE OF PET DOG is FATAL
Austrian Returns Home After dag
nosis and Dies strapped
TO His BED.

VIENNA Sept. 16.-(Special Cablegram
10 The Bee.)-Harrowing details are re-
ported concerning the death of a strong
man, aged 43, who was the victim OF a
bite from a dog. His name was Albin
Boehm and he was the owner of an
estate at Promontor near Budapest.
Four weeks ago, while playing with
small dog, Boehm was bitten in the hand.
The wound healed and he thought no
more Of II. Last week Boehm became un-
we'll and the doctors sscribed his Illness TO
the bite. They sent Boehm to the Pasteur
institute at Budapest, where the doctors
recognized the symptoms of rabies and
inoculated the patient. They wished also
to isolate him In a separate room. but
Boehm returned home and informed his
wife that he was irretrievably lost. In
deep grief they embraced each other and
said farewell.
Boehm's condition became so much worse
that he was conducted again the next day,
in the company OF two policemen, TO the
Pasteur institute and the doctors certified
that nothing could be done. The unhappy
man declared that he would die at home;
so, with two strong attendants, he re-
turned home to Promontor, where he was
placed in a separate room in his house.
Before the open door stood the two at
tendants with two policemen. Thus
Boehm could speak through the door to
his family and friends. Finally he became
very weak, 50 he took to his bed. then
called the attendants, who strapped him
down, after which q violent attack seized
him and caused his death.
After the death Of her husband the un-
happy widow stated that she also had been
bitten by the dog. and. as she had also
repeatedly kissed her husband. she was
taken to the Budapest Pasteur institute.

ACCUSED OF MURDER
SPECIFIC CHARGE AGAINST OF.

of the Western Federation of Miners,
and G. A. Pettibone. former member
Of the executive committee of that la
Tor organization
From these 1t appears that the men,
who were secretly arrested here Sat
urday night and hurriedly removed to
Idaho, were charged directly with the
murder Of Former Governor Frank
Steunenberg of Idaho. and not merely
with being accessories to the crime.
The complaints and reQuisitions In the
three cases are identical, and charge
the accused men with having dis
charged the bomb by means Of which
Steunenberg was killed at Caldwell,
ida, Dec 80, 1905. The specific charge
of murder was made. It was explained,
in order to forestall habeas corpus
proceedings on the part of the accused
men, but no attempt will be made to
prove they were in Idaho at the time
Of the murder. 1t is claimed. however.
that they conspired with others to
murder Steunenberg and furnished
funds to carry out the plot.
