Boone--John Vogler, Boone cs,un-
ty farmer who has rcsi6ed three
miles north OF Boone fos the past
twenty five years. died at the state
hospital at Iowa City from
the effects Of a bite OF a mad ,log.
The animal attacked him five weeks
ago. Vogler had been taken 10 Iewa
City last Wednesday for treatment, af-
ter the symptoms of hydrophobia rad
been noticed. Examination there
showed that the disease had ad-
vanced, SO far that the only thing
which could be done for him was to
administer palliatives. Vogler was
bitten by a dog owned by his son-in-
law, Ralph Brown. who resided near
the Vogler place. A daughter of TIE
deceased, Lorena Vogler, and two
sons and brother of Ralph Brown
were bitten by the same animal.
These seem to be free from any
alarming symptoms and as the six
weeks period has ne.Lliy passed, IT, is
believed that all are out of danger,
tho a nurse is in constant attendance.
He was 60 years OF age and prolni-
nent in the community in which he
lived. ~
