STRANGE DEATH OF COWBOY
Harry Becbe of wyoming Developed
Mysterious Disease in
New York.

Harry Beebe, a Wyoming cowboy, who
rode bucking bronchos in the Buffalo Bill
show, died in Bellevue hospital, New York,
May IA, apparently of hydrophobia. The
Bellevue doctors were so puzzled about
the case that they entered cause of death
unknown on a report to Coroner Har-
burger. When the coroner pressed DR..
Slocum, the physician who attended
Beebe, for particulars DR.. Slocum was very
reticent. The coroner threatened to send
a subpoena for the doctor, and at length
DR.. Slocum gave three causes for the cow
boys death, Landry's paralysis, acute
~poliomyelltis "a disease Of the spine) and
paralytic rabies.
Beebe was brought to New York from
Lander. Wyo.. several weeks ago by Cy
Compton, who bosses the riders in the
Buffalo Bill show. He was about q years
old and a cracking good horseman. Cy
Compton turned over to Beebe the toughest
and most dangerous bucking horses in the
show, and Beebe never had a serious acct
dent while handling them, Compton said.
Nobody connected with the show had heard
that the rough rider was bitten by a dog
or a horse, but Compton recalled thai a
pony had stepped on Beepe's right foot
four weeks ago, bruising the toes 80 badly
that the cowboy couldn't walk for several
days. Several times in the following weeks
Beebe hurt the foot again, and a week
] before his death he went to Bellevue and
applied for treatment.
DR.. Slocum observed a slight wound on
the big toe of the right foot, a small
incislon which might very easily have
acted as the focus for hydrophobia infec-
ton. There were no symptoms of hydro
phobia at that time, so far as the doctor
could make out. The injury seemed ordi-

An interesting bit Of gossip comes from
Kansas City this week to the effect that
one Of Omaha's debutantes has broken
her engagement which was announced this
winter. No confirmation OF the gossip has
been given to Omaha friends; neither has
their been a denial of the story which,
though travelling by a circuitous route
comes through a medium too closely in
touch to be misinformed. The young
woman is one of the most popular MEM
bers Of the younger set and her many
friends are scarcely displeased with the
rumor which leaves the possibility Of her
remaining in Omaha.

nary enough and It appeared to yield to
simple treatment.
Sunday, the 9Th, Beebe was discharged
from the hospital, seemingly cured. He
said that the pain in his foot had gone
and that he felt no other effects. He left
the hospital and walked up to the garden.
Last Monday he returned to Bellevue in
an excited and feverish condition. Some
thing had come on him suddenly the night
before, he told the doctors. He complained
Of feeling hot all over. He was very nerv-
Gus and jumpy. He appeared to breathe
jerkily and with an effort.
1t was noticed at once when the doctors
examined Beebe closely that the young
man was unable to move his arms and
legs as freely as a healthy man should.
He complained Monday afternoon that
there were severe pains in all parts of
his body and that his throat seemed tight
and compressed. Monday night Beebe be-
came very weak and on Tuesday morning
he was unable to sit up in bed. Paralysis
rapidly involved his arms, legs, trunk and
the muscles Of respiration. He could not
speak. He swallowed with the utmost diff
ficulty and breathed only with great eff
fort.
The doctors at Bellevue said that II
was one of the most extraordinary cases
that had ever come TO their attention.
So far as they could learn Beebe had not
been bitten by an affected animal. 1t
was possible to contract hydrophobia, they
said, from mere contact with a horse or
dog that had the disease. The young mans
injured foot might have touched a rope,
a saddle or any article where the germs
Of the disease were present. II was the
only way they could account for 1t.
DIR. Slocum refused to say positively that

paralytic rabies, he said, or 1t might have
been Landry's paralysis or an acute spinal
disease, poliomyelitis. The symptoms Of
all three were present in Beebe's case and
nothing, save an autopsy, coula determine
which was the real cause of death. There
