asked for a continuance of the case.
There appears to have been some mis
understanding as to the exact date set
for the trial, but the city attorney holds
that It was to be heard subsequent to
July 12. t
According to the answer, Spencer ap
peared before the court on July 11 afid.
as there were no prosecuting witnesses
present, the case was dismissed. The
suit for damages against Speier and
Lillis followed.
The defendants maintain that the
case was entered on the docket to be
heard subsequent to July 12 and were
accordingly preparing their testimony
and aubpenaing witnesses to be pres
ent on July IS. They allege that they
were performing their duties as offi
cers In bringing the charge, against
Spencer for violating the law. that the
action was taken In the interest of
public safety and the protection of
property and that there was no feature
of personal animus connected with It.
The answer further alleges that the
facts presented by Speier and Lillis
were sufficient grounds for action and
that probable cause was shown. The
answer reiterates the cfearge that
Spencer violated the ordinance.

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

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."
