SHE CUT THE DOG’S THROAT.

Kentucky Woman’s Display of Nerve Saves Her Husband. Dr. William McKinley of Winchester, Ky., wasjstjved by his wife from death a second time Saturday when he went to the country to visit a patient. As the weather was fine, he took Mrs. McKinley along. Arriving at the patient’s house the doctor got out and left his wife in the buggy to hold the horse. Just as the doc-

tor reached the door a large bulldog rushed on him in an attempt to catch him by the throat. The doctor caught the dog’s jaws with his right hand and with his left caught his forefeet. He yelled to his wife to come to his assistance. She used the JJJJlfgy whip on the dog, but without effect, lhen she secured the doctor’s knife, cut the dog’s throat and immediately fainted. Two years ago Mrs. McKinley saved her husband from being strangled to death in a folding bed, which had closed on him.
