Developed Unmistakable Symptoms
The Triijunk learns that one of the
hogs owned by Isaac Shepherd of tho
Spring Creek neighborhood and which
was bitten by a mad dog a few weeks
ago at the end of eighteen days showed
unmistakable and violent symptoms of
hyprophobin and madly assailed the two
other hogs bitten by the nmd dog at the
same time and for prudential reasons
confined in the same pen Neighbors
were summoned to witness and corrobo
rate and then all three hog- were killed
and pen and contents consumed by fire
The loss to Mr Shepherd is 875 as the
three hogs averaged over 300 pounds
ach and composed his all in that line
He had three horses bitten at the same
time by the same dog but up to the
time of this writing no symptom of the
rabies have been noticed A child a
lew miles from this neighborhood was
bitten by what was thought to be an
other mad dog about this same time
but we have heard nothing further about
the matter save that the dog assailed
others and was finally killed with a
pitchfork Dogs in that neighborhood
are now7 killed on slight suspicion in fact
ft isnt safe to be a dog at all

A Few Cases of Scarlet Fever
A few cases of scarlet fever have de
veloped in South McCook out of four
sick children in that neighborheod three
cases were found upon investigation by
the city authorities to be scarlet fever
And this reminds us that parents should
be more careful and call medical assist
ance in cases of that nature In the
cases in point there was gross carelessness
which may result in a considerable
spread of that disease among the child
ren of that neighborheod Parents and
doctors will remember that it is their
duty to promptly report such cases to
the city authorities under severe penalty
for failure so to do remembering that
quarantine and isolation are the chief
thing in such emergencies

with a slight sprain to one of his wrists
He had just put in a fire and opened the
gate between the engine and tender
when a sudden lurch of the engine threw
him headlong from the locomotive He
picked himself up and followed the train
into Benkelman thinks he would have
beaten the train in if the train had not
stirred up such a dust that he couldnt
tell which way the train was moving
It is said that the train was making
forty to fifty miles an hour when the
fireman made his hasty exit from the
