Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

Cairo, Ill., July 5.-Ballard county, Kentucky, is in a wild state of excitement over a singular and fatal malady which has taken possession of her cows. They first go wild and frantic, fighting and making war upon everything in sight, with tongues lolling out and eyes bulging and bloodshot, finally dying in twenty to thirty hours in great agony. It is dangerous to appear anywhere among the animals on the country roads, as the disease attacks them instantly and without premonitory symptoms. Men on horseback have been chased for miles by the rabid beasts, and only escaped destruction by the fleetness of their steeds. The ailment is thus far a mystery.
