CITY OF CHIHUAHUA, Mexico,
March 16.-Heavy fighting between
strong forces of cOnstitutiOnalists and
federa1s has been going on for "a
hours between Escalon and Bermed-
iillo. Reports from the front as given
out by General Villa do not state the
outcome Of the battle, but IL IS be-
lieved TO be still going on.
One federal troop train has been
destroyed by q rebel mine with great
loss OF life, according to a message
from Zavalza, a station south of Es-
Gallon. Only an error by a cOnStitu-
tlonalist soldier. operating the bat

disaster. The trap had been set for
federal trains carrying troops to help

.HOWTO KNOW RABIES
Symptoms in Dogs a Layman
May Understand.
HydrophobIa 10 Usually Spread by the
infected, Ownerless Cur Travelling
Far and Wide, Says a Phil
adeIphia Veterinarian.

hiladelphia-"Madd og!" A terrible
stampeding frantically. 1t has always
been, in the Imagination of men, one
of the most dreadful warnings. And
why not? The statistics show that
among hydrophobia patients the NOR
tally is 100 per cent, says the Phila-
delphia North American.
Then, too, there are people who say
there is no such thing as rabies, that
it is all the wild-eyed superstition of a
fright-crazed people. In these summer
months, when the rumors fly, which
are you to believe?
Here below is the expert testimony
Of an authority upon the disease and
situation, DR.. C. J. Marshall, the state
veterinarian. He tells just how you
may know a mad dog. and discusses
the state of affairs with evident surety
The symptoms of rabies are very
easily recognized by a person who is
familiar with the disease, yet the av-
erage layman seldom recognizes 1t,
Doctor Marshall says. Among the or
binary symptoms observed is a change
In the disposition Of the animal. If he
has been affectionate, he often be-
comes cross and irritable, while dogs
that are of a nervous, ferocious tenn
permanent frequently become very af-
fectionate and timid. In many cases
the animal goes away from home and
may travel several miles, and on his
return will show that he has been in
number Of fights with other dogs.
There is always change in the voice
Of the animal Instead of bark he
makes more of cry and does more
barking than usual In some cases
dogs that are affected are constantly

YOUNG SKUNK ATTACKS BOY
An Oklahoma Youth, Camping Out,
Had to Spend Night In Creek
After Animal Was Killed.

Haskell, Okla.-John Reerink, six
teen years old, with his father, was
living in tent while they we're build
ing barn for a farmer living north
Of town. One night, because it was
hot, John took his blanket and went
outside under a tree to sleep. He
was awakened by something soft nos
ing about his head. He struck at 1t
with his hand and an instant later
set of sharp teeth pierced his ear.
His father was aroused by the yells
that followed and found large skunk
clinging to the boys ear. He killed
the skunk. The blanket was buried
and John spent most of the night
in an adjacent creek trying to wash
of the odor. Then he went to a doc
tor to have the ear dressed. The bite
of a skunk,is often very poisonous.

and by proper quarantine measures.
No cases have been reported from
Australia, and probably never will be
as long as the present system OF quar-
antine is in vogue. The only way that
rabies can be spread is by the bite
Of an animal. Dogs, being loose and
free to roam, are naturally subject to
it. No dogs have, SO far as my records
or knowledge of them go, been known
to go mad of their own accord. 1t is
simply disease which Is carried from
place to place by dogs which have
been bitten by other dogs and which
will bite still other dogs in their turn.
The mad cats which are occasionally
seen have been bitten by mad dogs.
The horses and cattle have been con-
taminated in the same way. II every
dog In the United States were muzzled
and ouarantined as they are restricted
in England and Australia there would
be no rabies.
'It is the ownerless dog which
causes the trouble. He travels far and
wide, fighting over wide range of ter
ritory. In one of the stray iurries he
may be nipped by a dog which is in
the early stages of rabies. He may be
caught by raving rabies sufferer and
bitten before he can escape. In any
event, he develops the disease.
1.-THE household pet, no matter how
carefully he is watched, may on some
pleasant little jog, when out for exer-
else only a few minutes, perhaps be
cut by a contaminated hound and
doomed. However, these animals rare,
ly spread rabies.

that all animals and all persons bitten
by a rabid animal do not develop
rabies, but know of no transmissible

susceptible will develop the disease

they cut through to the skin, enough
disease germs to impregnate the torn
