VICTIM OF JOKE.
Boy Hero of Strassburg, ILL.,, Succumbs
to Rabies.

Chicago, March 1S.-F'red Pepper, Is
years old, died of "a Dies in a hospital
here yesterday. the victim of a prac-
teal joke-a joke which might have
cost the lives of 90 other pupils in
the school room with him had he not
risked his. He is now called the hero
of Strassburg, III.
Two of Peppers boy schoolmates
brought a stray white poodle dog into
the school room as a joke. Pepper
noticed that the dog was foaming at
the mouth and he threw back a little
girl as she was about to pat the ami
NAL. Then he picked it up and took
1t from the room, being slightly bitten
at the time. The next day the dog bit
four pigs and a horse, all of which
later died of rabies. The boys par
ents became alarmed and after treating
him with home remedies for several
weeks brought him to a specialist in
Chicago. The case was too far devel-
oped and all that could be done was
to relieve him of suffering. When news
of the boys death reached Strassburg
arrangements were started whereby
nearly every one in the town will at
tend the funeral of the boy hero.
