mEs1 MDE II THE
LAMA MURDER CASE.


Jasper Courte. an Italian. was arrested
and lodged In jail yesterday evening by
Sheriff r. NJ. Nall and Deputy Sheriff J.
d. conlee, charged with the murder of
the aged Italian. Frank Lama, several
weeks ago. Sheriff Nall filed the com:
plant and the arrest was made at the
home Of Courtc near the city.
II will be remembered that the body OF
LAMA was found In pasture near town,
where il had seemingly been dragged OF
carried from the road near by, and where
Il had lain two or three days before being
discovered. A great deal of mystery has
surrounded the case, partly due to the fact
that whilefhe neck was pronounced broken
Il Is said there was no sign Of rope OF .
blow on the skin. These and other known
incidents have been recised in the loca
press and are familiar to the public.
The officers have been quietly and earn
estly working on the case ever since. They
have kept their own counsel and have met
impasien, inquiries with requeni TO sit
sill In the the boat and gave them a
chance 10 make landing"
Lama and Couue were neighbors, and
both Italian farmers.

nyORopnoslA EPIDEMIC APPARENT,
Several Dogs Killed Lately ed Cow

Pass Q Muszlisg Ordissscss

A COW belonging to Capt. A. F. Will
son, and said to have developed q violent
case Of hydrophobia, was killed At Mr..
Wilson's home In this city yesterday morn
ing. Il Is stated that the COW was on such
rampage yesterday morning that the
coIored man who attended to her reg alarly
would not take the risk Of going into the
pen with her. She was later shot and
knocked in the head.
DR.. NJ. Francis Of College and DR.. G..
w. Emory both stated that the COW had
rabies. Capt. Wilson told the reporter
that the COW had not been away from his
home in this city for several months and
that she must have been bitten by dog
providing around At night, as is the custom
with them in the early stages OF the disease.
A dog with rabies was killed Tuesday
afternoon near the home of Mr.. ]. I.
Hines. There appears TO he n consider
able amount Of hydrophobia scattered
around both town and country, "A fact which
people should bear in mind and be on their
guard.
Last week, Il will be remembered, DR..
N. l.. Fountains dog was killed after hav-
ing bitten other dogs, one of which be-
longs TO the writer, and was promptly re-
ported to an officer and killed. although a
valuable dog which rarely ever left home
Several other dogs have been killed from
time TO time. but there are manifestly many
dogs and cats and possibly other animals
that have been bitten and are still a, large.
II seems that the gravity of the situation
is sufficient TO demand that all worthless
dogs and cats be promptly killed, and all
that have been exposed be kept up reason
able length OF time at least.
The suggestion has been made to the
Eagle that the people Of the city should
hold meeting or take some other step to
ask the city council to pass an ordinance
requiring all dogs to be muzzled In order
to minimize the growing danger.
The further suggestion has been made
that the bodies OF all animals killed should
be burned instead Of buried.
One thing Is certain, something will have
to be done aud done speedily. IL Is cer-
tainly time to call halt when the milk
cows are contracting the terrible disease.
