Rabid Dog Killed in Eureka

A black and white shepherd dog
appeared at the Fish Greek ranch of
the Eureka Land & Stock Company
on Friday night of last week that
was undoubtedly rabid. After at
lacking the dogs on the ranch it
struck out towards Eureka and was
met early Saturday morning by the
Government trapper ear the top of
Pinto summit. He happened to be
unarmed at the time and was forced
to make way for the frenzied animal.
Robert Kelley, on his way over to
Silverado. next met the animal, and
he, too, was unarmed; but when he
saw the antics of the dog he at once
surmised that it was rabid and got
out of his rig and gathered a few
rocks as the only means of protect
ing himself. The animal passed him
without offering to attack and con-
tined down the road towards Eureka.
1t later appeared in the upper por-
ton of town and was finally shot and
killed by Peter Evans opposite the
Richmond Stag dump. The dog is
supposed to have come away from
one of the bands of sheep now being
driven north from the Sand Springs
country.

Edgar Father, County Recorder
and Auditor, was taken ill on We'd
nesday of this week with what has
developed into measles. He recent
ly returned from a trip to Reno and
Carson, and as this disease is raging
in the former city. he no doubt con-
tracted it there. He has been re-
moved to the home of his parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Father, on
Spring street, where he is being
cared for, and is reported to be do
ing as well as can be expected. This
is the first case of measles that has
developed in Eureka for a long time.
and it is hoped that proper precau-
tionary steps may be taken that will
prevent the disease from spreading.

The repair of the two bridges on
the local railway recently damaged
by the high water running in Pine
creek was completed last Sunday and
service over the road was resumed
on Monday. But the train did not
reach Eureka until after 6 o'clock
that evening. for after leaving Alpha
on the climb up the summit it had to
buck considerable snow that had
drifted into the cuts and several
hours were consumed in blowing
a way through. This train brought
up a number of delayed passengers
and freight that had been waiting at
Palisade for a resumption of traffic.
Yesterdays train came in ahead of
time and the road is now reported in
good order.

Company asking for the privilege Of

Eureka. 1t was discovered that the
power of the Commissioners to act
as a town board had been annulled

of a majority of the residents of the

sary to give the Commissioners juris.
diction to act in behalf of the town
government. A petition for this
purpose is now being circulated and
