Here's Record of
Mad Skunk Biting
GGrUin County Lad

According to reports received
here, the 6-year-old son Of ]. =. Cur
rie, of Lindsay, was attacked and
bitten by a mad skunk while playing
on the porch of the Currie home
several days ago. The boy has been
taken before the state health depart
ment for examination, in which OK
animation it will be determined
whether or not he is inflicted with
hydrophobia.
The animals carcass was taken to
the State Laboratory, but it had been
mutilated in the killing SO badly
that it was impossible to make sat
isfactory examination. However. the
boy was treated on the theory that
the animal really had hydrophobia
and it was said the boy will not
suffer bad results. Mr.. Currie told
the health commissioner that the
animal came up on the porch OF
their home and attacked the boy, and
that possibly It would have bitten
others who were in the yard at the
home.
While it is said that rabies in
skunks is not rare thing, it is the
first time the department knows ol
one having attacked a person. the
skunk being timid animal by ma
ture.

bolsheviks as the result of his first
hand experiences.
Private Hogan is serious and de-
liberate. He speaks little and listens
much His views are equally interest
ing. "If America ever went bolshe-
vik like Moscow" he said, I'D snake
myself lone hand to stand out
against them If you want to be a
good bolshevik, you've got to be
crummy and dirty. The majority of
people in Russia wouldn't tolerate it,
il it weren't for the fact they would
starve to death if they opposed the
Bolos."
Private Tripiett, a rather easy 60
ing youth said. 81 think the Bolos are
just too damn lazy to work. If it
weren't for the women they'd never
get anything done They have to dig
the trenches at the front
you see the women carrying huge
loads while some big bum of boil
sheyik walks alongside carrying moth
ing. With the women doing every
thing, the men have to enlist, or the
Bolos won't let them eat
Private Laursen said, 81 figure
they're a bunch of cut-throats. All the
honest ones want to get out of Rus
sia as soon as possible. Tney all
want to go to America Like he'll
we'll let them inf see any I'm
going to shoot em!"
This is what the ordinary Ameri-
can doughboy thinks of bolsheyism.
These chaps had three months 10
study it in Moscow, Mecca Of the boil
sheviks. The "Yanks' didn't bother
themselves too much about theories
they saw bolshevism in practice
and these are the opinions they ex-
pressed as they lay on tho grass in
the sun outside the quarantine hospi-
tai in Finland, after they had escaped
and were in friends hands.
