[EROCIOUS HENS CHASE
BRADLEY STREET FOLK;
HAD REAL HYDROPHOBIA
Chickens Drink Blood
and Develop Case
of Rabies.
After yean, perhaps centuries, of
siting, Polceman Alfred D. Luck
brings to thi world the answer to the
famous tiue^t "Why does a chicken
cross the rad?”
Because ! has the hydrophobia," Is
the correct tnd copyrighted reply.
If you c3l tip a physician familiar
1th the tefchlngs of Pasteur he will
mile dlscretly at the other end of the
phone andiay he would like to see a
hicken tvpt rabies. If you talk with
who Its not made a study of the
urk of th great French scientist and
disciple, he Is likely to laugh out-
ght. If la knows you well enough.
But who It comes to facts, see Po-
icemnn Lck.
Last wek he was called to kill a dog
hat had bitten a negro woman who
lives at 10 Bradley street. He cor-
tfreel th animal after a chase and
hot It. A couple of hours later he
>ked 1 to aee If tho body had been
inivpt It was still In the yard,
ing Ina pool of Its own blood, and a
numbefOf chickens from tho neigh-
it were drinking at this scarlet
fount.
At tht time he gave this no further
thnugl. But a day or two later he
notice/, that the chickens were acting
ttanily. They would run down the
eef often staggering like drunken
a,peeking at every tree or animal
thlr-way.
Wen they saw a puddle of water on
heddewalk they would turn and dee
a opposite direction. Sometimes
would do even more erratic things,
e he saw a chicken, or' somebody
aw It, deliberately put Its head
in front of the wheel of a slow
moving dray. They would chase spec
tators down the street, making them
take refuge In a tree.
Remedies for ordinary chicken dls^
eases were unavailing. The hens and
loosters. died in fearful spasms and
sometimes, so Officer Luck has been
told, they seemed to froth at the bill.
When he heard that he knew the the
ory to which ho had been clinging war
a true one, and that those chickens had
hydrophobia. If somebody will only
testify now that the chickens were
heard to bark, he will be wholly sat
lsfled.
"There's only that one explanation of
what happened." said Policeman Luck.
"Now that the chickens that drank the
blood of that mad dog, and those they
bit, or pecked, are dead, there will be
nofurther trouble, I reckon. They gob
bled up some microbes and It was
catching, just the same as In a human
being. If you’d seen the way they
acted, you'd got out of their way Just
as quick as you would jump from a
mad dog."
Unfortunately Officer Luck did not
announce his discovery until all the
queer acting fowls were dead and bur
led. and therefore there can bo no
scientific test of his theory. But wbal't
a pathological demonstration compared
to tho testimony of the policeman .and
the residents of Bradley street?

as probable candidates.
Three commissioners nre to

Ineligible to succeed themselves.
‘Captain IV. H. Brotherton, for many
years a police commissioner and leader
of what was known In local politics as
the "Brotherton faction,” has been

that he will ran.

Petty, W. O. Jones, George Johnson,
Dr. Amos Fox, Alderman Holland and

Both Dr. Van Dyke and Mr. Mason
have many friends In council and It Is
not at all Improbable that both will be
chosen.

FULTON WOULD GET
IN DEKALB DEAL
Proposed to Take Slice of
Poor Land Into This
County.
The proposition of about 150 DeKalb
county citizens to bring what It Is .aid
will amount to about one-fourth of
that county Into Fulton has stirred up
comment and opposition In Atlanta.
A formal petition signed by 150 De-
Kalb citizens asking that all that por
tion lying north of Peachtree creek be
taken Into Fulton county has been filed
In the ordinary's office and will be
taken up by the Fulton and DeKalb
grand Juries at their meetings In Sep
tember. If favorably reported. It will
go to the legislature for Anal action
next year.
The tract In question embraces three
militia districts, Cross Keys, Doravllle,
and Shallow Ford. It, Is In the shape
of a triangle, with a base of about
six miles and sides of ten miles. No
towns of any size are Included.
'It Is probably a scheme to get good
roads through a part of country where
all the taxes paid In fifty years would
not maintain one good rood,” said a
former Fulton county commissioner
Tuesday. "As it Is, the northern part
of Fulton county Is a drain upon the
rest, the land being much poorer, and
the part of DeKalb which tt la pro
posed to take Into Fulton Is of the same
character. The people of DeKnlb Inter
ested In the project are scarcely to be
blamed for wanting to get the benefits
of Fulton county, but we hardly want
them."
Two Propositions.
Much confusion has arisen from the
fact that sometime ago there was an'
other movement on foot which was to
take Into Fulton only a few thousand
acres. This, It Is stated, has been
abandoned, but the Impression seems
to prevail that the petition filed In the
ordinary’s office U of the same char'
acter.
one statement was that the petition
was merely to straighten the dividing
line.
That quite a large section of Do
Kalb Is meant is shown by the petition
Itself, which names three militia dlS'
trlcts.
The petition In the ordinary's office
Is In three parts, two of which read
To the General Assembly of Georgia
tVe, the undersigned citizens of De
Kalb country, residing north of Peach
tree creek, hereby petition y<jur bon
orablo body to change the county line
so as to throw all that portion of Do-
Kalb county north of Peachtree creek
Into Fulton county.
The third section Is addressed to
the grand Jury and describes ths pro'
posed new county line as follows:
Said line to proceed from the south
end of said line regularly north along
the present line to the point where
Peachtree creek Intersects the present
county line, and thence east and north
erly along the line of said creek to the
point where said creek Intersects the
line of Gwinnett county, and thence
westwardly along the line of Gwinnett
county and Milton county to the point
where Milton county reaches Fulton
county. Said change to bring from
DeKalb county into Fulton county tho
following militia districts: District No.
686, commonly known as Cross Keys
district; No. 1416, commonly known as
Doravllle district; district No. 524,
commonly known as shallow Ford dls
