REPORT OF RABIES WRONG Strychnine Responsible for Mistaken Symptoms, Thinks Doctor. Excitement In Wallowa County over reported cases of rabies among coyotes and domestic animals that have kept the rural population wrought up for several weeks has been abated by Dr. W. U. Lytle, State Veterinarian, who has just finished an Investigation and finds no traces 01 the dreaded disease SUITS Tailored by hand, made up in the most stylish ma terials and in the recognized fashionable Fall color ings. These suits are equal to those sold in other stores at $20. Balance of Summer Suits at HALF PRICE THIRD AND OAK " FIRST AND YAMHILL 89 THIRD FIRST AND MORRISON SECOND AND MORRISON among any of the animals. Dr. Lytle returned from Eastern Oregon yester day. He said that he was unable to find traces of rabies In the brains of any of the carcasses of the animals that had died after exhibiting symptoms of the disease or -had been killed to pre vent a spread of a threatened epidemic Complaints of the queer capers of wild and domestic animals In Wallowa County first came to Dr. Calvin S. White, secretary of the State Board of Health. Letters told of how coyotes would enter dooryards and would not be frightened. One letter said that a drove of hogs that had hitherto been very tame suddenly became timid and then vicious. One pig. according to the correspondent, dispersed a group of haymakers, chasing one man up a tree. A gun was sent for and the vicious pig was shot. Dr. White turned the case over to Dr. Lytle. "The carcasses of the dead animals were too old to permit thorough diag nosis," ld Dr. Lytle, "but I was un able to find indications of Tables. The Btate Veterinarian of Washington also conducted an Investigation just across the line, where similar conditions had been complained of, but he found no traces of the disease. In all probability the animals suffered from strychnine poisoning. Potson Is put out for coy otes and it Is probable that the ani mals did not get enough of It to kill them.. However, I left preparations to preserve the brains of any other ani mals that show peculiar symptoms Im mediately after they are killed."
