A Tragedy Indeed

One Of the most heartrending q
stories Of the year says tho Lacrosse
(Wis.} Democrat, comes from Fond
du Lac. A young lady was passing
through a pieoe of ground adjuining
fara house with her lover when the
gtrl was attacked by savage dog.
Before her escort could protect her'the c
dog had seizsd her by the breast and
torn the breast from her body, When
the young man saw the dog shaking a
portion Of the body of his intended
he fAinted away. The young lady
however, did not faint. Sho was so
mortified that she seized q fence rail
and she went for that dog, and she
pounded him until he laid still.
When her lover recovered, the young
woman was trying to hide ono Of the
wire screens that people put over
plates to keep the Aies OF. 1t seems
that the dog didn't draw blood, owing
20 the fashions at Fond du Lac,
which is needless to describe. How.
ever, there is great excitement ut
Fond du Lac, aud tho young man
has broken off his engagement and
has bought that dog-what thore is
left of him and he is going to set him
up again.
