While talking with friend yesterday
evening E. A. Ringwald was in the act of
giving parting salutation when he was
attacked and severely bitten by a large
dog. The dogs teeth penetrated the
clothing and made several ugly wounds
in the calf of Mr., Rngwald's leg. The
wounds were promptly cauterized and no
serious trouble is anticipated.
