"A fine Newfoundland dog, belonging
in the hardware store of Mr. C. w. Hen
derson, was suddenly attacked with fit of
madness Sunday while laying in the
store. He moved about blindly swapping
at stoves and savagely chewing ut the iron
implements around him. Chief Myers was
called in, and he shot the dog dead and
had him taken to the Ohio river. As three
or four cases Of this kind have occurred in
the city within the last month or two, it is
