Boy Victim of Mad Dog

Villa Nova, July 5. -- The little son of Valdo Olmstead has fallen a victim to the epidemic of hydrophobia which has brought havoc among the cattle and swine of this part of Norfolk County.

The lad was bitten by his father's dog, which was attacked with rabies a short time ago and has spread the epidemic throughout the countryside.

The lad has been rushed to the Pasteur Institute in New York for treatment and hope is entertained that his life may be saved.
