Thle latter atep was necessary be
cause the California authorities,
through Warden lloyle. of San Quen

hold Alnaberry aa a parole breaker.
Sheriff K. T. Man, In whose custody
the prisoner waa. refused to release
him. even after the $1,000 hall had

proceedings were started.

One more case ot definitely di
agnosed hydrophobia, and two cases
in which it is suspected that the dis
ease exists, have been found by
County Veterinarian W. S. Eddy In
tbe neighborhood of Damascus. All
three cases are of dogs.
A bound belonging to A. H. Cook
had definite sympotoms of the dis
ease, and before it could be quaran
tined fought with and bit two otber
dogs, both these dogs are now
chalnedup, and are under observa
tion of Dr. Eddy. Tbe Cook dog was
subsequently shot by Everett Hub
bard. All the other cases of known hy
drophobia, it Is believed, are now ac
counted for, either by the death of
the victim, or the corralling of the
suffering animals. Dr. Eddy is being
generally praised throughout the
county for bis quick and effective
work in suppressing the disease a
task made all tbe more difficult by
the arly spreading of the malady,
whir J made its origin hard to locate
and trace down. No further out
breaks are now expected.
