Lafayette man fears rabies may result from horse bite

JENNINGS DAILY TIMESRECORD Feb. 20, 1906

Last Saturday morning, Philibert Hernandez, son of Mr. Chas. Hernandez of the eighth ward, was attacked and slightly wounded on the arm by his favorite horse. The animal had been stabled and young Hernandez was preparing to exercise him, when without warning the horse seized his master by the right arm and tore off the sleeve, causing a slight abrasion of the skin.

Although the wound is so slight, the strong symptoms of rabies which soon developed led young Hernandez to kill the horse and consult medical advice.
