poison The hydrophobia was a long time making itself manifest The trapper was bitten more than a month before he no ticed any ill effects He was sleeping at his camp near Hillside when he was awakened by something crawling on bis arm He made an attempt to seize the disturber but before he could grasp it an animal sprupg on his face and sunk its teeth In his brow Scantlin seized it and strangled it to death He then found that it was a little striped skunk of the variety that in the country has the reputation of being hydrophobic Delays Too Late The trapper at once camo to Prescott and consulted a physician Hu whs advised to hurry to Chicago and enter the Pasteur institute This he decided to do and re lumed to bis camp near Hillside to make his preparations Out in the woods he changed his mind and decided he would run a chance thereby saving the expense of the trip though the county supervisors had offered him assistance to go East The victim noticed no symptoms of the seizure unLil
