HORSE NAD TO BE KILLED
Bitten by Mad Dog Several Days Ago and
Became Mad Tuesday Evening,
THE HORSE BEL0N6ED TO CHAS. JEAN
Nothing to Indicate That Other Animals
Were Bitten.
Not many days since the Journal
published an account of the killing of
several mad dogs on the farm of
Charles Jean, two miles south of
Plattsmouth, and also stated that a
fine horse had been bitten by one of
the dogs before it was killed. In or
der to try and save the antmal, Dr.
Barnes of this city was summoned, and
gave treatment.and the anlmalseemed
to be getting along nicely until yester
day afternoon, when It began to show
the same symptoms.
These symptoms began to grow
worse until about 6:30 Tuesday night
when tho animal became entirely un
manageable, frothed at the mouth,
kicked boards off the barn, and made
such agonizing shrieks as only a mad
animal could make, and It was thought
best to shoot the affected animal,
which was done, without any further
efforts to save It.
It was two weeks ago Tuesday that
the animal was bitten by one or the
dogs, making the usual tlmo allotted
to animals without show ing signs of
thc rabies.

BIG MUDDY CAUSES TROUBLES
An Interesting Case to Come Up In tlu
District Court of Mills Count)
Next Week.
The Glenwood Tribune, In speaking
of rather a complicated case that
comes up in tbe district court of Mills
county next week, says:
"Ordinarily, the making away with
mortgaged property lands a man In
the penitentiary. But when a river
swallows a mortgaged farm there is
not much to be done, unless Uncle
.Sam is arrested for allowing a stream
to cut such capers.
, "N. P. Dodge vs. Marian C. Carman
and Leopold Knocller is the title of an
interesting suit just, filed in the dis
trict court by Gilii'.land& Logan.
"Dodge is a Council Bluffs banker.
On January 2, 1001 , he loaned Carman
$ToO and took a fiist and second mort
gage on eighty acres of land and its
accretions bordering on the Missouri
river In section 31 of St. Mary town
ship. "On December 21, 1901, Carman sold
the land to Knoeller for 2,0.n.O with
the agreement, so Dodge asserts, that
Knoeiler should pay tho mortgage as
part of the purchase price.
"The plaintiff, in his petition,
charges that 'through mistake, acci
dent, oversight or fraud,' this agree
ment between Carman and Knoefler
was omitted in the deed.
"To complicate matters still more
along comes the Missouri river and
swallows the whole farm, mortgage
and all, and the petition rather humor
ously adds that 'it is not now a sub
ject of foreclosure.'
"Dodge further asserts that Carman
is insolvent and asks the court for a
decree reforming the contract of Bale
between Carman and Knoefler and for
a judgment against the defendants
for $882.80.
"Knoefler naturally feels that It is
like paying for a dead horse to pay tbe
Dodge claim, and Rome nice points of
law may develop in the trial of tbe
case."
An Instructive Cat.
Mr. John Nochta, 100 1st St., Char-
leroi, Pa., asked us to publish an In
structive case of his own experience:
"I am 54 years old and have to support
my family by working hard at manual
labor. For nine weeks I was suffering
with great pains in the stomach and
In tbe intestines and could neither
work, nor walk or sit, or sleep. No
medicine gave me any relief. Good
neighbors advised me to try Trlner's
American Elixir of Bitter Wine and I
wish to state that two bottles cured
me. My good appetite came back
again, the stomach started working
and I felt strong enough to resume
my work." This case is Instructive,
because Mr. Nochta could have avoid
ed all his suffering by using Trlner's
American Elixir of Bitter Wine as
soon as the first symptoms appeared.
Persons of a pale or yellowish com
plexion, weak, peevish, cranky, with
out appetite and healthy sleep, ner
vous, exhausted and full ef eruptions,'
should without delay use Trlner's
American Elixir of Bitter Wlne.whlch
will purify their blood and strengthen
tbelr digestive organs. At drug stores.
