E. Dovey Loses a Fine Cow That Had to Be Killed. Another ease of the rabies de veloped in the city yesterday when the line cow belonging to George F. Dovey showed un mistakable symptoms of the dis ease that compelled Veternary Surgeon Sandin to shoot the ani mal. The first signs of the dis ease appeared on Saturday, when it was noticed that the animal was acting strangely and refused to at or drink water when it was of fered to her. The veternary was summoned and after seeing the cow expressed his opinion that he was probably developing a case of the rabies and ordered her tied up in a small shed until the case could be more fully de termined. The cow grew worse and constantly moaned and began to show all signs of the dread dis ease and yesterday it was decided to have the cow killed, and the animal was accordingly put out of her suffering. Mr. Dovey. to be on the safe side, decided to have the barn in which the, cow had been kepi burned, as she had chewed up the wooden partitions and slobbered over the interior of the barn or shed in which she had been kept. The lire department detailed some ten or twelve men to look after the work of destroying the shed and last evening about 8 o'clock the structure was burned, to gether wilh fhe remains of th cow. This is the most effectual way of disposing of the matter, as if does away with the chances of other animals being affected with the malady. GOOD BASE BALL ; GAME IN PROSPECT FOR THE FOURTH The base ball fans will be given plenty of opportunity of getting their money's worth this week, as the management of the Hod Sox has made arrangements to stage two ball games here the l-'ourth, one being in the morning- at In o'clock and one in the afternoon at li o'clock. Jloth of these games of their game was disputed so ex tensively fiver the decision of the umpire that allowed Plattsmouth will be with the team represent ing the Dundee Woolen mills of Omaha, which team was here several weeks ago, and the result lo win. The locals are in the best of shape and will be ready to be up and doing when the umpire says "play ball." It is thought that Mason will probably be used in fhe contest on the morning of the fourth, while Pike will pitch in the afternoon, as well as on Sunday afternoon, when the Dun dees will again be the opponents of the Red Sox. The Dundee are a good, fast feam and these games should prove very interesting all the way through. BROTHER OF 0. K. REED KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT YESTERDAY From Wednesday's Daily.
