Mad Dog Endangers Lives of Three At Newland.

Some two Mrs. Clarence Bowman, of Newland, was bitten by a tramp dog but nothing was thought of the matter at the time. Last Monda- the same dog bit the sons of George Bowman and O. L. Smith, also live near Newland. The dog acted peculiarly and he was killed and the head was sent to Indianapolis fur examination. Word was received Thursday that an examination of the dog’s head showed that he had rabies and it was urged that its victims Should be given the pasteur treatment at once. The men with their sons left for Indianapolis last night. Dr. C. E. Johnson, who has their cases in hand, went to Indianapolis this morning. The pasteur treatment is another reminder to the worid of its debt to the scientist. The treatment will without dotrbt relieve those who wer? bitten by the dog of a most horrible death.
