Caused By Fright

Keokuk, Ia., Aug. 4.- During the early part of June Hyde Collins, awellknown man in his city, and prominent in local G. A. R. circles, was bitten on the hand by a dog at the time supposed to be mad. Afterwards it was ascertained that the animal was not afected with rabbies. The wound on Collins' hand healed rapidly, but thoughtless persons reminded him of the affair by frequent allusions to it, and by cautioning him to be careful or he would be affected with hydrophobia. These constant reminders and frequent allusions so workod upon him that his mind gave away ander the strain, and Monday he became so violently insane that it was found neeessary to place him under restva int. Physicians who examincd him declare there are no symptoms of hydrophobia about his case, but that his mental troubles are caused by wony and fright occasion ed by dread of the disease.
