MAYOR PUTS BAN
ON LOOSE DOGS
RABIES EXISTS IN THIS VICINITY
Prompt Measures Taken To
Prevent Spread ofDisease To
Other Animals.

Athena is quarantined against dogs
running at large unless they are muz-
zled, and all dogs found running at
large without they wear muzzles will
be shot by the City Marshal on sight.
This drastic measure for the safety
and welfare of the citizens of Athena
was found necessary to be taken by
Mayor Watts this morning, upon re-
ceipt of notice from the State Board
Of Health that the brain of the Harden
dog, killed Sunday morning by DR.. ].
A. Baddeley showed presence Of negri
bodies.
Rabies became prevalent among dogs
and stock on the mountain ranches east
of Weston, some time ago, but the dog
in question was the first to become
afflicted here, so far as is known.
Since it became known that the dog
was afflicted with rabies one owned by
DR.. Sharp, and known to have been
bitten by the Harden dog, has died and
dog at the Dudley place has also
died..
There is really no telling to what
extent the disease has been spread in
this vicinity, for the dog, running mad,
is known to have been as far away
from home as Weston. Mayor Watts
expects that all owners of dogs in both
town and country, will look at the
matter in the right light, and cooper
ate in the effort to stamp out the dis
ease.
State Veterinarian Lytle, who was
in the city Tuesday stated that cattle
when affected with rabies, are suscep-
tible to higher percentage Of loss
than other stock from the fact that
they contract the disease as a rule,
through the membrane of the nose.

GAS MASKS
FOR SOLDIERS
Men to be Subjected to Fumes
Stronger Than They Will
Meet In Battle.

American Training Camp in France,
Aug. 8.-The issuance of French gas
masks to the American soldiers has
brought them little bit nearer to a
realization to the proximity to real
warfare. The men are looking for
ward to the gas experiments with
the greatest possible interest as Civ
ing a touch of adventure to their
training. The so called "gas house
is completed and the men will be put
through a mixture of a deadly vapor
several times stronger than will ever
be encountered upon the field of
battle. Some German prisoners have
claimed that in their training they
have endured periods of from 5 to 10
minutes in gas mixture fifty times
as strong as could possibly be main
tanned in an open air attack. The
men are.put through the intense mix
lures to demonstrate to them that
with proper care and use of the
equipment they cannot be hurt by
any gas likely to be encountered in
the front line trenches.

Only 20 per cent of the men draft

The same percentage will apply at all

The entire national army of 687, 600
men will not be called to the colorS

The men at Camp Taylor will be in
training for approximately ten months,
