MIR, Stevenson went, he said, for
the purpose of telling the gov
ernor that he had no apology to
make for the statements contain

evidently thought Mr.. Stevenson
was coming out to fight. The
chief executive began to pull off
his coat. Members stepped be,

Boy Bitten By Mad Dog Dies of
Hydrophobia
Wadesboro Ansonian.

Wadesboro Ansonian.
Jesse Jordan died Thursday
night with hydrophobia, as a
result of having been bitten by
a dog suffering with the disease
on January 7 of this year. The
boy was only 8 years of age and
was a son of Mr.. H. A. Jordan
of Morven township. He was
carried to Raleigh the day after
the dog bit him and took the
Pasteur treatment for 21 days,
the time required. But on ac-
count of having been bitten
about the face the treatment did
not prove effective, and on the
oath of February he began to
show effects Of the dreadful dis
ease. He soon began to suffer
with convulsions, and though
the best medical attention was
given him, he died as stated
above. A few hours before his
death the boy became easy and
his death was quiet, as is the
case with persons who die with
hydrophobia. He was always
conscious, belle ved his father
wanted t, do him harm. To
start towards him with water
would throw him into convuls-
ions.
This is said to be the first case
in the history of the Pasteur
treatment in this state where
death resulted and is accounted
for by reason of the fact that the
boy was bitten about the face
and mouth.
