While chopping wood at Lake City yesterday morning Marion Carter cut his hand
between the thumb and index finger, requiring six stitches to draw the wound
together. The wound is not serious and Dr Smith says he can use his hand in
about three weeks.
Mr. and Mrs. George Weilmunster of Lake City were down last Monday, taking the
Pasteur treatment. They were present when the wildcat bit the little son of Mr.
and Mrs. Oscar Stewart at the Leonard Baths last week. They handled the rabid
cat after it was killed and it was feared that they might be infected.
Taking Pasteur Treatment
Mr. and Mrs. Stewart were in from Leonard's Baths Monday bringing their little
son for treatment. The little fellow is suffering no bad effects from the bite
now. The head of the cat was sent below for analysis and a negative answer was
received but it was stated that a guinea pig had been inoculated and the result
would be known in a bout thirty days, but in the meantime the Pasteur treatment
is being applied, being administered by Mrs. Young during Dr. Kennedy's absence.
