Better Kill .
Prairie Dogs
Dr. W. Ik Bonneil who trealed
young J. R. MarUn of Amber who
was bitten by a mad prairie dog
last Saturday says he believes that
every prairie dog must be killed in
the northeast part of the county If
a spread of rabies b to be avoided.
Dr. Bonneil points out that dogs
migrate from one town to another
and go often as far as several miles.
Especially animate do Uib when at-
tacked with rabies.
The animal which bit the Martin
hoy was a young animal and un-
doubtedly had bitten other dogs be-
fore it was kilted by the Martin boy.
It may be several weeks before the
disease spreads among other wild
animate. Tlie Martin boys picked
the youiyt dog up aud wanted to
take it home for a pet. It suddenly
turned on him and bit him in sev-
eral places.
Dr. Bonneil had Uie body of the
animal sent to the Stale Health
Department. Their' analysis show-
ed rabies In the brain and in the
sxtivls. There must be an eyldemli-
of rabies among wild animate. L.
G. Adkbson of near Maysvllle died
from the bite of e pojeum a few
weeks ago at the Cottage Hospital.
