Belle Valley Alerted Last Week
For Robbers Who Never Came

All tavern owners in Belle Valley
were "alerted" Thanksgiving day for
three bandits, two men and a
woman, who were supposed to have
'scased" the community and spec
ialists in knocking off beer joints.
According to Dame Rumor, they
were supposed to have been armed
and every tavern owner in Belle
Valley had been warned they might
try to crack their joint on Thanks
giving.
The trio were said to have been
riding in large black Cadillac and
Noble county bound.
One bartender even went so far
as to notify the state highaWy pa
troll in Cambridge and their cruisers
in that community on the holiday
were thick as flies.
Strangers throughout the day
were all treated as suspects but
closing hour came and nothing hap
pened.
Even filling station attendants
along route Il caught the fever and
many of them were armed, just IN
case.
Local officials were also aware of
the up-heaval in Belle Valley and
they were cooperating with patrol
men in the lookout for the trio.
The basis to the rumor was not
entirely fictitious since trio, sim
liar to the above, has been robbing
beer joints, but not in this i'm
mediate locality.
It is also quite possible they had
planned to hit Belle Valley but in
their own way discovered it had
been alerted and went on to richer
pastures.
Tavern owners, nevertheless pre-
pared for the worst, and only a
small amount of cash was kept in
the drawer. Other valuables were
hidden and many other precautions
taken until the dawn of new day.
But as it turned out, Thanksgiving
in Belle Valley was just like any
other-people ate their turkey, re-
Taxed, and discussed the excitement
which never came off.

rabies in the person bitten.
 The dog is especially suscepti- ble, and because of his rowing habits is the chief diSseminator of the disease to man. Rabid wolves and foxes lose their normal fear of human beings and human habi- tation. They fearlessly invade towns and villages where they at tack man and domestic animals. Dogs bitten in such attacks devel- op the disease and disseminate it to other dogs and man.
 The disease among dogs can be controlled by effective muzzling or tying down" of dogs or other methods of restraint as long as the epizoOtic persists and for six months after the last known case in the district.
 To effectively control the dis ease in an infected area impound- ing or human destruction of all dogs found running at large is necessary to stamp out the scourge. !. Dogs that have bitten persons or animals should not be killed un- less it is clear they have symp- toms of rabies and then only if they cannot be apprehended with

RABIES ON INCREASE IN ALASKA

A final diagnosis of rabies was made on fifteen specimens sub mitted by the Anchorage Labora- ' tory to Dr. R. G. Green at the University of Minnesota, the Ter ritOrial Department of Health re- vealed today.
 Specimens consisted of heads from five dogs, eight foxes, one wolf and one coyote, collected in various points of Interior Alaska by the U. s. Fish and Wild Life agent, Ray WOOlford of Fairbanks, who states that the disease is rapidly spreading over the Interior of Alaska along the Yukon and KuSkOkWim drainage syste m s (. During the month of January ap- proXimately tWenty-four dogs in Stevens Village have died with . rabies-like symptoms. Four speci- mems from this group were shown tO OC pOolIl"S Dy ldDOl dIoIy y CH- animation.
 The disease, as a rule, is trans mitted through the bite of a mem Der of the dog family Persons bit ten or exposed fall into one of the following categories with refer ence to the Pasteur treatment.
 l. The dog biting is rabid: see a physician for immediate treat ment
 2 The biting animal is a wolf, coyote or fox having symptoms of madness: see a physician for i'm mediate treatment.
 3. The dog biting shows sugges- tive symptoms: see physician for immediate treatment; discontinue if diagnosis in dog is established as negative.
 4. The dog biting is not identi- fled. This is a common occurrence The rule in such cases is to advise the Pasteur treatment except in regions known to be free of rabies.
 5. The dog biting is not mad: observe it carefully for fourteen days, and if no symptoms develop and the dog has not been bitten by another dog there is no danger of

safety. It is important to know if the dog is rabid. Animals killed early in the course of rabies, as a rule, fail to show microscopic evi- dence of the disease causing a de- lay in the diagnosis. Never shoot or strike the animal in the head If killed, the head should be re- moved with great care, frozen if practical, packed in a leak-proof container and sent to our nearest laboratory without delay.

 The origin of the fire remained a mystery. First reports differed as to whether the blaze originat- ed Tn the Patton Hardware or in the rooms above the Mecca bar. Witnesses reported an explosion at the start.
 Bremen found the interior of Che hardware mass of flames and were driven out by flying bullets. One bullet struck pol iceman in the back but did not penetrate hIs clothing.
 As the fire broke irto the Mec- ca bar, where bartenders armed with seltzer bottles had held their own for a time efforts were directed to save the Lavery building on the other side.
 The Mecca bar, listed as own ed by J. E. MainelIa of Fair banks and R. F. Snyder of Kodi- ak, was a total loss. Stock and fixtures, including a new S2000 sign, was S5O,OOO, partially cov- cred by insurance. The building, owned by Mrs. George Hiller of Glendale, Calif., estimated at S2O,OOO.
