TO PREVENT RABIES.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mills Josey Have Gone
to Austin.

| to Austin.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mills Josey, residing
just over the line in Robertson
county, were in the city Monday en-
route to Austin, to take the Pasteur
treatment as a preventive of hydro
phobia, which it is feared they other
wise might contract as result of
treating a mare owned by Mr.. Josey,
and which died as a result of rabies
Saturday.
Mr.. Josey, who is we'll known in
this city, related to friends here his
experience with the animal, and while
neither he nor Mrs. Josey were bitten,
foam and saliva from the beast, which
they were trying to relieve, came in
contact with their hands and arms,
and 1t is thought best by physician
who was consulted that they go to
Austin and be treated.
The animal was stricken Friday and
Mr.. Josey removed 1t from the pas
ture to the lot near his residence in
order to doctor 1t. When food or
water was offered, it would fall in a
fit, and just before expiring it bit its
legs in a fearful manner
The animal was purchased from
Mr.. Wilson, residing near Tabor, a
village seventeen miles north of this
place, last spring. A dog on the Will
son place developed rabies and bit
one of Mr.. Wilson's small children.
The child. was taken to Austin for
treatment, and the dog was also sent
along on the same train in order that
the Pasteur people might examine
him and ascertain definitely whether
or not he had hydrophobia. The dog
died en- route, but the carcass was
carried to Austin and examined. and
the Pasteur authorities declared the
animal to have been afflicted with
the disease.
The child was returned to the home
of its parents in this county, and so
far as known no i'll effects have re-
suited to it from being bitten by the |
dog. The Wilson's moved away to
West Texas last spring, and the mare
which died Saturday was sold to Mr..
Josey just before the removal to the
west.
The very many friends of the Jo-
'eys in this section will sincerely
hope that no evil results will come to
hem from their recent experience.
