The Latest Hydrophobia Horror

Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune

     Lincoln Neb., July 1-Reports from the buffalo lands, in the western part of the state, report numerous wolves suffering from hydrophobia, making it dangerous for hunters. A young man named Ackerly, while sleeping on the prairie recently, was bitten on the nose by a skunk. Day before yesterday he died in the most horrible agony with hydrophobia symptoms, the same as from the bite of a rabid dog.
