A mule belonging to Sullivan Watson, who lives near the CamdenBishopvllle highway, about seven Imile8 from Blshopvtlle, was takenv with liydrophobla and the sheriff, due to legal technicalities, was sent for to kill the mule. It seems that about three weeks ago a fox was found dead in the mule's stall, the supposition being that the mule had trampled the little animal to death after the mule was attacked by it. A hog also be longing to Mr. Watson was killed by the sheriff, it too having been bitten by the fox, it is supposed. So in answering the call Sheriff Wilson went out to the Watson place and found the mule had either gotta^ out of the stall or had been let oW and was in a\smali piece of woodland. The sheriff, with his 22 riflp, approached the mule which was seen biting itself and tearing the flesh. It was a risk that the mule might make an attack on the officer, but it was dispatched without any trouble. There have been a number of cases in the county of fox madness and one report says that hound dogs in certain sections have suffered from attacks of fox.?Bishopville Messenger.
