HORSE BADLY INJURIES OWNER.

Animal Died Soon After-Had Been
Bitten by Mad Dog.
DR.. j. w. Jewett stated yesterday
that the condition of Frederick john
son, thirty-tlree years of age, of 1900
Whalley avenue, Westville, who was
kicked ny a mad horse, is improved,
although he is a very i'll man. Johnson
was severely Kicked in groin by the
horse which was evidently furious
from an attack Of hydrophobia from
which it afterward died. The matter
has stirred up the Westville people who
are fearful that other animals may
develop the hydrophobia.
About o'clock last Wednesday
morning Johnson went out to the barn
to harness the horse. During THE pro-
cess the animal became furious and
dealt johnson blow with it's hoofs
that nearly killed him. A few hours
later the horse died in great agony.
The horse was bitten by mad dog
that came down into Westville from
the Bethany hill last autumn The dog
was seen to bite the horse and 1t Is
thought that before it was destroyed
other animals were bitten. Now that
the belated appearance of the hydro
pEobia has appeared in the horse, 1t is
feared that other animals were bitten
by the stray dog and will develop it.

end of the breakwater. The structure
has settled toward the westward, the
heavy iron plates that cover the house
have become separated, the two inch
bolts in them having been cut off in

A few days ago the lighthouse tender

encircle the house and keep it together
The work Of repairs will begin within

The damage was caused by the run
ming of the 19-horsepower oil engine.
This engine furnished power for blow
ing the big fog horn. The vibration
caused by the engine gradually shook
one side of the house apart.
At the present time the fog horn is
blown by two horsepower engine, and

ed.
There is no immediate danger of the
