FIGHT WITH MAD DOG-Fieyee Struggle
aud Nayyo,c Eseape.-A few nights ago Mr..
Owen Hamilton, Of Chester county, Pa, was
aroused by his dog going mad in the room oc
cupied by himself and family. Lighting a
candle as quick as possible, he saw the dog
coming towards him as if TO make battle Not
knowing In the moment Of excitement what to
do, he jumped upon the bed bu. seeing the
danger of his wife and children, and having
NO weapon at hand to kill him with, he made
an effort and succeeded In catching him back
Of the neck. After desperate struegle-we
might say for life and death-he overpoweretl
the dog. Then came the troablo to dispNtch
him-being almost overcome in the struggle.
The gun was brought, but it was unloaded !;
the axe, but both hands were required 10 hold
the dog. Finally, q rope was procured, aud
the wife tied him. He was then killed. Mr.
Hamilton fortunately received no injury; but
one hand was completely paralyzed for q time
from the effects OF the struggle
