The boarding house OF the kilgore
Bluestone Company at Parker's Glen,
d few miles west Of this place, is kept
by Mrs. Lewis. She owned large
mastif, which was until Saturday very
fond Of her ten-year-old daughter, and
this dog and the littlegrl we're constant
playmates. On Saturday, while she
was playing with the masti!i, she unin-
tenti0nalIy closed q door on his tail.
The dog was released from hrs
painful position a. soon a. possible.
but It was apparent at once that ne was
very angry al the litlc girl. lie
would not lei her approach HIM, and
went away grow In. Nothing was
thought Of the matter AZ the time. Two
OF three hours later the child went out
N the yard 10 play, and IN & few min
utes her mother heard her screaming.
Mis. Lewis ran out and saw the child
lying on the ground. while over her
stood the dog snarllng savagely and
tearing az the little girls face with his
teeth. The mother ran 70 the spot.
Blood was streaming from the
chiid's face, and the flesh was torn
fiom her chin. Mrs. Lewis was unable
to pull the dog Of Of her, and her
cries brought an elder daughter to
her aid. Although the latter beat the
cog oyer the head with heayy club he
DID moi release bis hold upon the child,
and 1t required the united strength OF
the two women to drag him away. Mrs.
Lewis tried to hold the dog back. while
the elder daughter hurried with her lit
tie sister 10 the house, but the dog pur-
sued the two and nearly caught them be-
fore they got into the house. With the
disappearance Of the object Of his rage,
the mastif was claimed down, and Mrs.
Lewis got him into a. house, where
he was shot. The child Is badly bitten,
and would undoubtedly have beer kill

murdered in Sumner county last June,
and John Il. Bradley with others was

Of Seagraves was one Of the crimes
