The Farmerville Appeal says that on the 17th, a stranger rode up to the house 
of Mr. Patrick, who lives one mile south of Forksville, and asked if he could 
stop there several days.  Being assured he could he came into the house and 
told Mrs. Patrick that he was very sick and wanted some medicine. Suddenly the 
stranger was taken with violent paroxysms.  Soon Mr. P. and Dr. Brooks arrived, 
and it was pronounced hydrophobia.  The man died a few hours after the first 
paroxysm.  On his person was found $105, cash, and receipts for money on deposit, 
also receipts for cattle he had left in various places.
