ALL FOR LOVE OF A DOG.

Owner, Child, Foig Dogs and Hog Bitten By Mad Animal. Affection for a dog and unwillingness to have it killed are responsible, according to a report made to the state board of health, for two cases in which the state has been asked to give its treatment to prevent hydrophobia. The dog belonged to Otto Bronnenburg, who lives near Anderson. The dog appeared “sick,” and a veteranian said it was mad. Bronnenburg, however, was unwilling to have the dog killed, and tied it up in a corncrib to await further developments. The dog gnawed its rope, broke loose, and began biting. As a result of the bites of this dog and of other animals, an epidemic of hydrophobia was feared. The total list of those bitten included Bronnenburg, a child, four dogs and a hog. “This is one of the many instances coming to the attention of the state board of health,” says Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary, “which show now people bring disaster into their own homes by impractical actions. This man should have killed his cur and all this trouble would have been prevented.—lndianapolis News. ’Phone 315 if in need of anything in the job printing line and a representative of Tbe Democrat will call upon you promptly.
