FINDING THAT ANIMAL
DIED FROM RABIES

DR.. c. E. Northrup, county health
commissioner, has received word
from the state health department
that two-year old heifer owned by
Edgar Smiley, of Bristol township,
died of rabies. The animal died
Saturday morning and Dog War
den Earl Wilson lost no time in get
ting the head to Columbus to be eX-
amined for rabies. The board advis-
ed that Mr. Smiley and Russell Ray,
who had been helping Smiley care
for the animal, be given treatment
to forestall rabies infection, and
Mr.. Wilson brought the serum here
when he returned
1t has also been urged that all
animals in that part of the county
be carefully watched for symptoms
of rabies. 1t is believed that the
heifer contracted rabies through
the bite of skunk. The FIST
symptoms noticed by Mr.. Smiley
was that the animal became very
restless, and at times violent, and
would grab in it's mouth boards
about the manger, and then fall
down in convulsions.
The gray fox which was slain
Feb. g. about II miles from Bev-
erly, on state highway 76, just over

imal was killed after it had pursued
