Telegraphic Reports from Many Parts of the Country SHORT BITS OF THE UNUSUAL Happenings in Distant and Nearby Cities and Towns—Matters of Minor Mention from Many Places. Little Girl Badly Bitten by Dog. Little Maxine Burger, six-year old daughter of Fred Burger and wife was very severly bitten by a dog belonging to Napoleon Budreau, who lives in the west part of town, last Thursday. The little girl had gone to the Budreau home to play with their Mrttle girls. As she entered the yard the dog, a large shepherd, who has been very cross to visitors, came up to her. She had put 'her arms around his head in a friendly way when the brute attacted the child biting her first on the arm. As she threw up her hand push him off the dog bit her hand and then her face. She was taken care of and Dr. Rainer attended her and she is now getting along nicely, and it is thought that her face will not show, soars from the wounds, The owner of the dog offered to kill it but it was thought best not to do so at once but let the matter go for 30 days and see if he developed any symptoms of rabbles, in which case they would know what was the best treatment for the child.—Remington Press.
