day.
A Dangerous Wound.
Grave fears were entertained by the
local physicians for the lad, for one
bite he received from the dog, through
the upper lip, was a severe one. He
was also bitten in the left hand. The
dogs teeth closed through the lads
upper lip. leaving ragged hole. This
wound is particularly dangerous, it Is
said by physicians, because the wound
Is SO near the brain. and it is in the
brain that the nigri bodies develop.
The wounds showed no signs of being
infected since the boy was bitten.

the muzzled dogs. For this reason If
any quarantine is ordered, it will be
left to DR.. King to order one for the

KOKOMO IS PLACED
IN THE DRY LIST
Supreme Court Decides To-
day that The Drys Were
Victors in Election.
(National News Association

INDIANAPOLIS, April 26.-The In
diana supreme court today delivered
a smashing blow to the liquor traffic
in reversing the case of Jay VS.. O'Don-
nell from Howard county. The decis-
ion Of the higher court restores the
city Of Kokomo to it's former place as
dry territory and means that all sa-
looms in operation there at this time
must close their doors Immediately.
The decision of the case hinged on
the rights of the county commissioners
to review evidence involving the legal
ity of the local option election. The
higher court held that the commission
ers had this right, that the circuit
court was wrong in deciding other
wise, and that in a later case involv-
ing an application for liquor license
the circuit court was compelled to
take judicial notice of the finding of
the commissioners that Kokomo had
voted dry.
