MAD DOG SCARE AT DELPHI.

>Two Strangely Acting Animals Killed and Third Escapes. Delphi, Ind., Nov. 23.—The mad dog scare in this city continues to increase. The dog which bit Meade Titlow and Harry Maxwell, who are now taking treatment at the Chicago Pasteur Institute, was killed and its head sent to the institute where the physicians pronounced it a case of genuine hydrophobia. Three other dogs in the northern part of the city ran several persons to places of safety Saturday. A party of searchers finally killed two of them, but not until a boy named Kently had been bitten. The third dog got away and has not been found. The dogs killed last night acted much in the same manner as the one that bit Titlow and Maxwell. Much uneasiness is felt because one of the dogs got away, as it is feared that other dogs in the city may become affected. Mayor Cochrane has issued orders requiring the muzzling of all dogs, to take effect immediately.
