Paris Officials Find
Man Bitten by Mad Dog,
After Three Day Hunt
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Jan. 2S.-Police officials,
who have for some days been con-
Quoting a frenzied search all over the
city for a man who had been bitten by
a mad dog were successful yesterday
in locating their quarry. The hunt.
which had many unusual features,
aroused much interest in Paris.
A workman was sitting in a saloon
late last week when d dog owned by
the landlord dashed at the guest and
bit him on the left hand. Later an
examination of the dog showed 1T lad
rabies but the injured man who ap-
epeared to think little of the incident
bad left the saloon in the meantime.
> Fearing that he might not know of
his danger from hydrophobia the
police began looking for him. He was
nowhere to be found and at last pla-
cards were posted all over Paris adj
vised him to go to the Pasteur institu-
ton for treatment. When found at
home the man said he had been living
quietly and had felt no ill effects Of
his wounds. He is now under treat
ment.

KNOCKED COLD

Some where in Kenosha's s.little

four perfectly good teeth when he was
knocked cold and his oratorial bat

by Abe Eichorn, a former member of
Battery D, 120 F. A. The scene of the
fracus is said to have been in the lob
by of a hotel patronized largely by
working men employed in various Ke-
nosha plants.
Several weeks ago, Eichorn, who
was then working in Kenosha, had oc-
casion to enter the place, and he found
an alien of the most radical type hold
ing forth and the. American govern
ment, President Wilson and everything
in general
After listening minute or two Abe
got riled and horned in, and told the
speaker to cut it out. He was invit-
cd by the man to "make him." He
did so with a terrific haymaker that
put the disciples of Lenine and Tros-
zky out for the count, knocking two
teeth down the mans throat, and two
other tusks were spilled on the floor.
One blow was plenty, and none of
the crowd cared to challenge Abe's
snGpremacy as an exponent of Ameri-

days ago. In hitting the man he
states he cut his hand, causing some
what painful injury.
