Two Monon Citizens Bitten By Dogs Are Badly Frightened.

Monon News. Henry .Jones and Gus Middlestadt have both been attacked by dogs during the past week and received wounds that caused them to hasten to the doctor’s office and receive medical attention. Neither of the canines have shown any signs of hydrophobia, but in these days of mad dog excitement, some concern naturally follows a bite, however insignificant it may be. Thursday evening of last week, as Mr. Middlestadt was passing through the alley at the rear of John Kellenburger’s house, a small dog belonging to jthe latter ran at him and inserted its teeth in the calf of his left leg. Gus made a bee line for Dr. Clayton’s office where the apparently slight wound was properly treated. Henry Jones was bitten by a dog belonging to C. M. Horner while riding his wheel up Market street Saturday forenoon. The dog was following an auto driven by Herbert Horner and in passing seized Mr. Jones pulling him from the bicycle. The wound is not severe and was promptly cauterized by Dr. Clayton. The dog has shown no signs of rabies and no serous results are apprehended from the encounter.
