RAVING BOY BIT FATHER 
Son Died of Hydrophobia and Now His Father Is in Danger 

SCRANTON, Pa. September 27 - Physicians were yesterday called to attend John. F. Jordan of this
city, whose 10-year-old son died on Friday night from hydrophobia, the results of a bite from a
mad bull dog last March.  During his son's ravings the little fellow's teeth grazed the
father's finger.  It was antiseptically treated at the time and no further attention was given
to it until today, when the arm showed the unmistakable swelling and was quite painful.  Three
physicians have consulted on the case and if they are unable to cope with it Jordan will be
taken to New York City for Pasteur's treatment. Seven persons were bitten by the dog and young
Jordan was the second who has died.
