BADLY BITTEN BY A DOG.

While out tb his grandfather Harvey Wood’s house southeast of town Tuesday the two-year-old son of Mir. and Mrs. Van Wood was quite badly bitten about the head, face and body by the family dog, a Scotch Collie. The family were at the table eating breakfast when they heard the child, who wa» out in the yard, screaming, and on running out they found the dog had the little fellow down and was biting and shaking him like a rat. The animal was driven off and the child brought to town and the wounds cauterized and dressed ,Jby a physician and it is thought no serious results will follow. Had the dog not been driven away it is probable he would have killed the child in a few moments.-more. None of the wounds were very deep and it is not believed the babe will be disfigured. - ,
