MAD CANINE ON
WILD RAMPAGE
ANOTHER CASE OF SUSPECTED
RABIES IN PASADENA
Animal Bites Boy and Two Dogs and
Is Only Killed After Two-MIIe ?
Chase Through City
Streets

PASADENA, Dec. 12.-The 4-year-
old son of City Engineer S. j. Van
Ornum and two dogs were bitten, and
boy and man on a motorcycle were
viciously attacked by a rabid dog be
longing to q sheep herder of San Rarael
Heights before it was killed this morn
ing after a two-mile chase through the
southern portion of the city. 1t is
the most serious case since an epidemic
of rabies broke out recently among
dogs of this vicinity.
Although the arm of the little boy
became black apd swollen few mo-
ments after he was bitten, DIR. IL.
Sherry, who was called, believes no
great danger exists, because of the fact
that the dogs teeth penetrated heavy
sweater and inflicted only a slight
scratch upon the arm. The severe
surgical treatment given is thought
sufficient under these conditions.
Dog Follows Bicycles
The dog was first noticed by Ralph
Chapin and Hugh Moson. two boys
who were riding bicycles from San
Rafael Heights homeward. 1t followed
them for half a mile. but they paid no
great attention to it, until, near the
Van Ornum residence on Terrace drive,

upon the child. Mr.. Van Ornum, run
ming for the PROSTATE child, shouted to
the two boys that he would give them
81 each to catch the dog, and then hur-
ried inside to call for assistance.
The boys followed the animal several
blocks and then lost sight of it. They
discovered it again lying on lawn.
While they We're still twenty-five feet
distant it rushed at them, sezing

BRUSSELS, Dec. liking Leopold,
who has been seriously Ill for fort
night, but who was believed to be
convalescent. suffered a relapse today,
and his condition is considered grave.
An official bulletin says;
"The rheumatic pains have disap-
peared, but the king is suffering from
a dlsquieting affection of the ab-
domen."
Supplementary information indicates
that the affection Is obstruction of the
intestines. There is at present also
dropsy of the legs.
Two specialists called in to consult
did not disguise from the king the
gravity of the situation, although they
do not regard it as desperate.
The king. who is in possession of all
his faculties, conferred with Baron
Goffinet, his private secretary to whom
he gave final instructions.
The baron, Prince Albert Leopold,
heir presumptive, and Prince Albert,
and M. Schollaert. the premier, did
not leave the bedside of his majesty
tonight, and Princess Clementine, his
third daughter, is expected soon.
The cabinet met this afternoon TO
prepare for eventualities. At a late
hour the physicians held another con-
sultation, after which Baron Goffinet
announced that the king was some
what better than in the morning.
He suffered less pain. his pulse was
sufficient. and there were no indica-
tions of fever.
The physicians and Archbishop
Mechlein remained in the bed chamber
all night.

NINE MEN ARE FOUND
FROZEN STIFF IN BOAT
Associated Pressl

NRIE, Pa, Dec. 12.-With her flag
h at half mast the state fisheries
- boat Commodore Perry, Captain
Gerry Driscoll commanding, brought
TO this port late today the dead bodies
of nine of the crew of the Bessemer
and Marquette ferry No. 2, which
left Conneaut o., Tuesday morning,
carrying thirty-two men. The ferry
has probably foundered in the middle
of Lake Erie.
For forty-eight hours the Commodore
Perry has been securing Lake Erie for
traces of the ferry. but only tiny
ten-men yawl was sighted fifteen miles
off this port at II o'clock today. The
men in the little state fisheries craft
had almost given up hope of being
able ever to learn even portion of
the story of the fate of the big car
ferry.
AS the Perry came abreast of the
drifting and half waterlogged yawl,
the men on the fish boat saw that they
had arrived too late. The nine occu-
pants of the boat, which was marked
''Bessemer and Marquette No. a." were
frozen stiff.
Taking the yawl in tow. the Perry
made all steam for this port.
News of the finding of the bodies had
reached the city, and thousands of
persons swarmed to the wharves. AS
soon as the fish boat made fast force
of men with tackle set to work raising
the bodies to the deck.
Bodies Identified
Conneaut, o., where most of the men
lived. was notified by telephone. and
hundred residents of that city ar
rived in two hours.
They were taken directly to the cor
oners morgue. where the men were
identified as follows:
II. THOMAS. second cook, Port
Stanley.

The cook of the car ferry was the
only man to wear an overcoat. The
other eight men were dressed in over
alls and jumpers, indicating that the
departure from the car ferry had been
hurried.
In the bow end of the boat was found
complete clothing for one man, and 1t
is believed that the yawl originally
contained ten men, and that one be-
came crazed, discarded his clothing and
jumped into the lake.
Albert ]. Weis of this city, treasurer
of the keystone Fish company and of
the Bay State Iron works, was pas
senger on the Inflated boat. His rela-
tives and friends had not given up
hope until the yawl containing the nine
men was towed into port.
His body has not been found. Ofl-
GERS of the car ferry company gave
up all hope Saturday, and since Thurs
day every available tug has been
searching the lake for some news of
the wrecked craft.

TT was a Stearns day at Ascot
park yesterday. 1t will be
4 many a day before the pub
lie will ever see such a splendid
array of the highest class stock
cars that we're ever sent away
upon a siX-hour race as lined up
at the tape when the time to start
arrived. 1t will be many a day
before the pubic will ever see a
race with so much excitement in
it. It will be many day before
the public will ever see better
driving on any racing track III
the world than was seen on that
track yesterday.
But, while worlds records
were being broken, three cars
we're smashed into almost un-
recognizable splinters; six men
experienced marvellous escapes
from instant death; three men
were injured, although none was
fatally hurt.
Charlie Soules drove the race
OF all his life. He started right
from the first. He struck gait
and it was fast enough to carry
him into the lead with his sPlen-
did machine and maintain it mile
after mile until very slight acci-
dent occurred to his car--the un-
loosening of a gasket in the air
pipe, which was annoying enoueh
to hold him at the pits for TWEEN
ty-two minutes.
Notwithstanding this fact, b
reeled off POS miles, broke the
worlds record for the first fifty
miles by six miles, smashed the
Lwo-hour record by two miles and
killed tine Ascot park record OF
POI miles by 20 miles, and when
he got the red flag to stop at !
o'clock his car was buzzing and
travelling along as regularly and
smoothly as the moment it first
got the throttle. never missing a
single shot that could be dis
ccrned by the ear of the most at
tentive observer, and pulled up
at the post the winner of the six
hour race with records behind TO
burn.
Only once was there tire
changed, and then Soules did it
simply as a matter of precaution.
His car stood at the home line
clean as a whistle, passing the
long grind as fit to go then as
when the started sent her away at
first.
Plenty of Accidents
Then, there were accidents
enough to satisfy the most ardeut
seeker of sensations. True, there
was the absence of any serious
harm to drivers, save in one IN
stance, but when it is known that
three magnificent specimens of
the mechanics skill lie today in
scraps of parts and broken mach
inery, some idea may be had of
the terrific grind these machines
were going through.
The first of these occurred at the hrst
