ENCOUNTER wITH 4 MAD DOC. jii2h
The hero Of the following incident !,
lis the son Of Mr.. d. L. Austin, of this
town, and is about sixteen years old.
"A dog Of large size, kept by Mr.. Aus
tin, for two or three days previous TO
Tuesday of last week, had acted
strangely, and, though no fears, per-
haps, had been felt for the safety of
the family, Mr.. A. thought it prudent
to tie the animal up, and did SO. On
the day the dog was tied, Mr.. A. left
home, and his son, Milo, went to work
with the horses in the field. After a
time, returned to the house, and, ~
finding the dog uneasy, and making o
great uproar, unfastened him, aud re-
turned himself to the field, and re- -
sumed work. After d little time the
dog made his way to the field, moan :,
| ing, barking, and staggering, with 4
blind steps, till, coming in sight of the
| horses, hec made for them with dis p
tended jaws and CLASSY eyes-a horri- fie
bic, picture of desperate madness!4 !4412t
Milo kicked him away from the team,is1
when thee brute turned upon him. 2I
By some dextrous movement. the iboyoia
seized the dog withsone hand back off,
the ears, and with the other by the ~
tail, and, with firm and desperate
grip, started with him for stream ofab
water near by. Reaching the water I
after terrible struggle, he plunged :
the mad brute under the water till all -
signs of life were gone, and lie threw Z
the carcass upon the bank. To make So
sure work, he then procured an axe IL
and knife--knoeked the dog upon the
4 head, and then proceeded to cut his 81
throat. In this act the. boys hands .
became covered with blood, and seri-,m
Gus apprehensions are felt lest some Al
scratch or abrasion of the skin may. y
have admitted. the virus, ' and thus !
planted the seeds of the dreaded made s.;
!. ness, hydrophobia. : During the en-.
tire struggle with the dog, the boy did ss
not get bite or scratch, and, had he 10
been prudent enough toilet the BRUTE
alone after drowning him, it. would RS
have relieved many minds of anxiety. q
Taken together, it was one OF the
most fearful feats, and one of the mar il
rowest escapes from q fearful DEATH /
that has gone upon, srecord.-GeneUG I
