TerrlMe SufTerlns; and Death or a Little
ilrt in Chicago from UjUrophobie
Caosed bj tU B.ty of av Iog.
Chicaoo. Ilu, Oct. flu
Tauline S. Hartman, aged nine years, ol
Arnold street, in the town of Lake,
died Saturday night of hydrophobia. She
was bitten by a little black and tan dog on
Augusts, but the animal was killed the
next day. As they understood that the
death of the dog removed all chances oi
hy.lrophobia attacking the person bitten,
the parents let the matter drop from their
minds, and with the healing of the wounds
(two severe bites on the right leg above the',
ankle), all danger was supposed to be at art
end. Last Tuesday night, nine weeks after .
the child had been bitten, she was taken
sick with all the symptoms of a bilious at
tack. These symptoms continued until
Thursday, when she complained of a pain
in the foot, and later the pain became gen
eral and appeared to pass all through the
Isidy. Friday she was well enough to eat
breakfast, but at noon she became alarm
ingly Ml, and Dr. -J. F. Abel was called in.
She then had symptoms of ordinary tetanus.
She refused water, as the effort to swallow
it caused violent paroxysms, and a sense
of suffocation. The sight of a fluid of any
kind threw her into spasms. tShe felt un
comfortable, low-spirited and despondent,
and had an undefined feeling of anxiety or
dread, and complained of giddiness and of
alternate chills and flashes of heat. Then
followed slight morbid sensations, emanat
ing from the cicatrized wound. The case
was ensily recognized as one of hrdropjio
bia. The child would lie on her hed per
fectly conscious, the froth coming from her
mouth, and would talk rationally, even
w hen the fever was burning her up and her
mouth was parched. When it was neces
sary to give her medicine the would shrink
to the further side of her bod, her even
would bulge from her head, and throwing
np her hands as though soma terrible mon
ster was about to attack her she wonld
shiver and give vent to moans, followed by
a species of barking, cnused by the glottic
oot opening when site desire.tto speak, and
tho effort producing the short tmapping
sopnd, Tle pain was then apparently cen
tered in Uie chest and tho Lack of the head.
She continued aliout tho samo during the
night, being able to eat only apples; ; She
slept about half an hour Friday night,' and
Saturday morning tho spasms were less fre
quent. She complained a great deal of a
Cain In the heart and would cry out that her
eart was breaking. In the afternoon the
ipasms returned with groat force and she
would cry out so that she could be heard a
treat distance. She did not become vicious
toward those around her, but would cluteh
the bed-clothes convulsively an.l sink her
Bnger-nails into her flesh an.l tear great
long strips from her body. At about four
o'clock she revived an.l tho fear of water
left her. She drank freely of water and
mHk, but soon she was again afflicted with
ipasms. As night fell and a light was
"brought Into the apartment whero the little
mfferer lay sho rose in her lod with a
riolent scream,. then tried to hide under
the lie.l-clothes, nnd showed other manifes
tations of great .fear, a look coming into
her eje that thwo present say.tliey-can.

photophobia, and afterward the room was
lhroude.1 in almost total darkness. At
nine o'clock she answered the query of how

jntil seven o'clock this morning. He ate a
hearty breakfast, and at eleven o'clock this
aiorning was again visited by the priests,
who remained with him until the execution.
At noon the gates were thrown open to
those holding tickets. Two hundred and
lixty-three were admitted and .witnessed
the execution, the first for twenty-eight
years in this county. At 1:20 o'clock the
procession entered the inclosure, headed by
Sheriff Schieter, followed by the condemn
ed man, supported on one side by Deputy
KheriS Doyle nnd on the other by Fathers
Brammer and Hartman. When McDonald
fame in view of tho scaffold his eyes drop
ped to tho ground, but when he came to the
itens he ascended them with a firm tread
ind faced the audience. Sheriff Schiefer
read in a clear tone the death warrant.
When ho closed, and liefore he could ask
McDonald if he had anything to say, the
latter addressed the audience, saying: .
'Gentlemen, I have nothing to say. I
tmre nothing to say at all; rmly I hope Ood
will forgive, me. irood-by, all of you."
. His arms were then pinioned an.l his
limbs strapped. He then turned to tlie
pries; to kiss the crucifix. The black cap
was placed over his head and the deputies
jtepcjl back to let Sheriff Shiefer praos the
spring" with his foot. The drop fell at 1 :2.
The Itody turned twice and then hung mo
tionless for a minute, when slight.contor
tions were visible and attempts toraovetho
arms and limbs were made. The drop was
six feet. At 1:41 life was pronounced ex
tinct by the physicians in attendance a )n
examination the neck was found to be dis
located. After the body was cut down It
was coffined and taken to the home of his
parents, in Areola, for burial.- Not an ac
cident happened during the ordeal. CaJ
houn street for three blocks from the jail
was so densely crowded that all attempts
to get through the crowd were abandoned.
Over 10,000 country people were in town,
most of them from Areola and Lake Town
ihips, the scene of the tragedy. The father
and brother of the murdered man occupied
front scats in the inclosure and watched
the entire proceeding. McDonald's brother
was also in the jail, but he did not see the
hanging .The. ftr department Vere out

their hose kept the curious crowd from off
