Lookup Thursday night and lost no
time in getting out of town. He says
he had always heard that our town

it.
Cobb came over from the neighbor-

dangerous looking knife and proceed
ed to try to make some of the boys
here take to tall timber, but he
miscalculated their courage and was
disarmed and taken before Judge
Howell and fined $40. Not being able
to produce the "long green' the judge
said: I'VE will put you to work on
the streets and see If you are any
bstter worker than John Billy Hazel

The judge says this man was good
worker and if he had probably mo-
gotten hcmesick would have stayed

ly to take the trip. The expenses
are ridiculously low, and it will bs
purely and educational outing and one
that will be of inestimable value to
all who take the trip. The party will

and E., for Louisville. They will ar
rive at the Falls City at 1850 p. m,

been working out every detail of the
trip, and on several occasions has
mat representatives of the differnec
railroads and arranged for the trans

lance.
The teachers who take advantages
of tho trip will be paid for the time
that they would teach if they wsre

pay will cover the entire expenses
of one member. The teachers are
highly enthusiastic over the matter,
and it is thought by Supt. Laach
that nearly every teacher in the
county will go, and all school trus-
tees are also urged 20 take the trip.

Pasteur Institute here. Some months
ago Captain Bower, the master Of
pack of foX-hounds in the South OF
England, while killing a fox which
had been run down by the pack. was
bitten by the animal in its struggles.
The wound healed rapidly, but after
three months had elapsed he was
seized with violent cOnvulsions and
died in twenty hours with all the SYM
toms of hydrophobia, and medical
science was unable to account other
wise for his death.
Miss Sylvia Bower, his sister, who
kissed him as he was dying, and the
doctor who attended him, were i'm
mediately sent over to the Paris Pas
teur Institute, where, although cases
of hydrophobia so long after the bite
had healed. while almost unheard of
are not considered impossible, and il
was decided to keep Miss Bower and
the doctor under observation for fif
teen days. That period has elapsed
and the two patients have been dis
