  field 
  to 
  the 
  Diitcli 
  Road, 
  and 
  was 
  next 
  notix^ed 
  at 
  Frank 
  T^ichter's, 
  

   about 
  7:30 
  p. 
  m., 
  Saturday, 
  when 
  he 
  fought 
  with 
  Xichter's 
  dog. 
  

   Lea^ang 
  there 
  he 
  took 
  to 
  the 
  highway, 
  and 
  went 
  to 
  the 
  Xew 
  York 
  

   Central 
  tracks, 
  then 
  took 
  an 
  easterly 
  direction 
  towards 
  Wende. 
  

   Between 
  9 
  and 
  10 
  a. 
  m. 
  this 
  dog 
  visited 
  the 
  farm 
  of 
  L. 
  Annburst; 
  

   he 
  went 
  up 
  to 
  ]\Irs. 
  Annburst 
  and 
  smelt 
  of 
  her; 
  she 
  thought 
  he 
  

   acted 
  strangely 
  and 
  she 
  went 
  into 
  the 
  house, 
  after 
  which 
  he 
  chased 
  

   Mr. 
  Armburst's 
  dog. 
  He 
  then 
  went 
  down 
  the 
  highway, 
  in 
  an 
  

   easterly 
  direction, 
  but 
  returned 
  about 
  7 
  p. 
  m., 
  and 
  chased 
  Arm- 
  

   burst's 
  calves, 
  which 
  were 
  in 
  the 
  field. 
  About 
  11:30 
  p. 
  m., 
  the 
  

   same 
  day, 
  July 
  fifteenth, 
  the 
  Cook 
  dog 
  bit 
  John 
  Gety, 
  at 
  Wende. 
  

   Mr. 
  Gety 
  went 
  to 
  the 
  Pasteur 
  Institute 
  on 
  the 
  nineteenth 
  inst. 
  

  

  A 
  horse 
  and 
  two 
  cows, 
  belonging 
  to 
  F. 
  Vine, 
  Wende, 
  were 
  bit- 
  

   ten, 
  after 
  which 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  cows 
  died 
  of 
  rabies. 
  A 
  dog 
  belonging 
  

   to 
  Wolbach 
  was 
  also 
  bitten. 
  The 
  Ct)ok 
  dog 
  was 
  next 
  seen 
  Sunday 
  

   morning, 
  July 
  sixteenth, 
  at 
  Looneyville, 
  where 
  he 
  bit 
  Otto 
  A. 
  

   Siehl, 
  who 
  went 
  to 
  the 
  Pasteur 
  Institute 
  on 
  the 
  twenty-first. 
  After 
  

   biting 
  Siehl, 
  he 
  crossed 
  the 
  railroad 
  tracks 
  and 
  went 
  into 
  the 
  rail- 
  

   road 
  station; 
  a 
  few 
  minutes 
  later 
  as 
  the 
  station 
  agent 
  entered 
  

   the 
  station, 
  the 
  dog 
  immediately 
  Sf)rang 
  at 
  him 
  and 
  bit 
  at 
  him, 
  

   while 
  passing 
  out 
  of 
  the 
  door; 
  he 
  then 
  went 
  around 
  the 
  depot 
  

   and 
  bit 
  a 
  horse 
  in 
  the 
  lip. 
  This 
  horse 
  was 
  owned 
  by 
  Henry 
  Erbg 
  

   of 
  the 
  town 
  of 
  Lancaster, 
  and 
  was 
  hitched 
  outside 
  the 
  depot. 
  The 
  

   dog 
  then 
  started 
  across 
  the 
  railroad 
  tracks 
  and 
  went 
  into 
  the 
  

   freight 
  depot, 
  when 
  the 
  doors 
  were 
  closed 
  and 
  the 
  dog 
  shot. 
  

  

  My 
  attention 
  Avas 
  called 
  to 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  cows 
  in 
  the 
  village 
  of 
  

   Lancaster 
  which 
  acted 
  strangely. 
  I 
  examined 
  them, 
  and 
  they 
  

   all 
  showed 
  symptoms 
  of 
  rabies. 
  It 
  was 
  impossible 
  to 
  find 
  out 
  if 
  

   the 
  cows 
  had 
  been 
  bitten 
  by 
  a 
  rabid 
  animal. 
  It 
  was 
  stated 
  that 
  a 
  

   strange 
  dog 
  had 
  been 
  seen 
  near 
  them. 
  A 
  post-mortem 
  was 
  made 
  

   upon 
  one, 
  but 
  there 
  was 
  no 
  particular 
  lesion. 
  The 
  brain 
  was 
  sent 
  

   to 
  Dr. 
  V. 
  A. 
  Moore 
  for 
  animal 
  inoculation. 
  At 
  the 
  same 
  time 
  

   the 
  brain 
  of 
  a 
  dog 
  that 
  was 
  killed 
  in 
  Buffalo, 
  which 
  was 
  supposed
