Rabies in England
First in 20 Years

Cases of rabies occurred in
England recently, the first to be
reported there in more than TWEEN
ty years. 1t is supposed the dis

smuggling in dogs from the con-
tinent. The number of verified
cases of rabies in the outbreak is
156, of which two have occurred
in the London area. SO far no
case of hydrophobia is known.
The compulsory muzzling rof
dogs with wire cage is in force
all over London and in the af-
fected districts of the country.
Any dog found at large without
q muzzle is taken to a police sta
ton.
Unless the animal is claimed
within seven days it is destroyed.
Dogs suspected Of rabies are de-
stroyed at once.

friends of the young man kidnapped
his bride following the ceremony,
took her to the home of one of the
young women conpsirators and held
her a prisoner until the following
morning.
Shortly after the wedding cake had
been cut an auto drew up in front OF
the door and the appearance of the
bride was the signal for action by
the kidnaper. She was hurried into
the machine, which sped away at full
speed. Not until the next morning
was she returned to the disgruntled
