tigation of the break:

Stevens release on parole.
This last information came from

Pigs Get Rabies
From, Dog Bites

Eight small pigs on a ranch a mile
north of Brawley have developed
rabies. it was learned this morning
and the matter is being investigat-
ed by the county health department
and live stock inspector.
About. two weeks ago a mad dog
is said to have jumped into a pen
containing about 80 small pigs and
bit eight of the animals before he
could be driven away. The victims
were nipped about the head in each
instance by the mad dog.
1t was said this morning that ra-
bieS in hogs is a rare occurrence
and develops only when the animals
are bitten as were these, about the
head, as the poison can then reach
the nerve centers OF the animal il
quick time.
