WEATHER FORECAST.

Rain and colder tonight. 'Wednesday fair. Baby Bitten by Dog and Saved by Timely Discovery. Johnnie, the 2-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Van Wood, hacL«a close call from being killed by a Scotch collie dog at the home of his grandparents,” Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Wood, Sr., this Tuesday morning. As it is, the little fellow is quite painfully, though not seriously, injured by being bitten about the head, face and arms. Mrs. Wood and her children were at the Harvey Wood house, southeast of town, and the family were eating breakfapt, when the baby’s screams attracted attention and when members of the household reached the yard, the family dog was on top of the child, biting and shaking it. The child was rescued from its perilous position and brought to town, where the wounds were cauterized and dressed by the family physician. It is not probable that there will be any disfiguring marks as a result of the wounds which did not prove to be very deep, although there were abrasions on the head, face, one arm and the body. It is probable that the dog would have soon killed the baby had it not been for the early discovery. •f 9
