MAD DOG SCARE
AROUSES BARLOW
Lloyd GhOlsOn's Horse Dies
Of Rabies.
Farmers Organize and VIII Slaugh-
ter Stray CANNES In That
NeigIborhood.
RuMORs OF CHILDREN BITTEN

Rabies exist among the domestic
animals in the vicinity of Barlow.
KY, and farmers are aroused to a
great pitch OF excitement by a mad
dog scare. This afternoon they will
organize and scour the countryside,
killing every stray canine they met.
For several days rumors of mad
dogs have been flying thick, but
professional visit yesterday OF Drs.
Ed Farley and X. +. Fisher, the we'll
known yeterinarles brought matters
TO a climax. They were called there
by Lloyd Gholson. the merchant,
whose valuable horse was attacked
with what he feared was rabies. An
examination by the veterlnaries es-
tabllshed the nature of the disease
beyond a doubt and the animal was
killed.
Farmers from all around Barlow
attended the visit OF the veterlnaries
and when they learned their suspi-
cions were correct they decided on
drastic action. It was impossible to
learn TO what extent the disease has
been spread by rabid dogs. but II was
reported several children had been
bit. although this could not be veri-
fed.
Many stray dogs have been seen
in the vicinity and on numerous oc-
casions they have been observed TO
act strangely. Some domestic ami
mails have died under peculiar cir
cumstances. and the people can see
no way for relief, except by killing
of all the dogs. which they fear have
been inoculated.
