Cartwright of Sommerville, W. was bitten by the animal while on two active duty training at McCoy.

The post information office said Monday that although no laboratory tests were made on the animal, personal physician in Sommerville was contacted and it was decided to start the shots as a precautionary measure. Laboratory tests were not performed because the post hospital could not recover the gopher. Cartwright was treated at the hospital for the bite and left the camp Friday, post officials said. After he left, an alert was sent over press wire services and the police radio network for him. At that time it was assumed by Monroe County officials that laboratory tests had been made and that the gopher had been found rabid.
