BELIEVED HORSE DIED FROM
DOG Bite TWO YEARS OLD

r f.. Moore lost his little black
buggy mare last night. The animal
died under circumstances which
caused Or. Barnes, veterinarian, to
believe 1t had contracted rabbies
from a dog bite away back in Octo-
her OF 1914. At that time it was
given the pasteur treatment and
seemed 10 respond nicely but yet
there were unmistakable signs OF
rabies exhibited at its death last
night The brain of the animal will
be shipped to Kansas City for mi
croscopic analysis. The horse was
bitten by Mr.. Moore's dog that went
mad in 1914.
