Lockjaw Fatal to Boy

Johnstown, Pa., Feb. 26 -- Russell Cook, age 6, died tonight of 
hydrophobia.  While coasting a few days before Christmas he ran into a 
strange dog.  The animal snapped at him, severing the rope of the sled and 
inflicting a small scratch on the lad's ear.  Nothing was thought of the 
matter and the lad continued to go to school.  Yesterday he was seized 
with convulsions and his jaws became locked.  The child died tonight in 
terrible agony.
