Third in Month The dog killed Wednesday was the third rabid animal to be dispatched b? the Kenilworth police s·ince the inauguration of the new muzzling ordinance on May 1. In both of the two previou · case s the dog was d~clared by state authorities to be suffering from dumb rabi es. The case vVednesday is the first appearance of the vicious type of the disease. It is considered possible by Kenilworth authorities tlwt other people , or dogs may have been bitten oy the an!mal and it is earnestly requested that if such is the case, the fact be imparted to the police, as it is essential that a complete check he made on the animal's wanderings and victims. Full medical precautions are being taken to prevent the dog's victims from suffer- . ing ill effects from the attacks. Attention is called by the authorities to the report of the Illinois State Board of Health this week which states that exactly 800 out of 1,000 heads sent in for examination for rabies have been positive cases of the disease. It is also pointed out that in Winnetka eleven persons have been bitten by dogs since the first of this month. PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY · OF NORTHERN ILLINOIS JNO. S.
