Considerable excitement prevails IN
this section from the depredations Of 4
large black dog supposed to have been
mad. 1t was fine bird dog belonging
to Col. d. y. Ruff, and was bitten
some time ago by a flee. The flee was
penncd and soon died. The dog in ques-
ton left Cot. Ruft"s place saturday
morning, he not knowing there was
ANYTHING wrong with it, and Thought
it had gone to his Brother Walters to
hunt as usual. This dog in It's twenty
four hours travel, Went to Capt. Jo-
seph l.. Keitt's, George koon's, John
P. kinard's and NJ. l.. kinhrd's, fight
ing the dogs at every place except at
Can't. Keitt's. \ little son OF NJ. H..
Kinard shot at it but failed to kill him.
From Mr.. Kinard's the dog went to
jefferson Quattlebaum's and attacked
his 16 year old son .Alonzo, between
sunset and dark. -AlonZo was feeding
the stock and had gone into an open
shed for food when the dog jumped
upon him. striking his face with two
teeth lust above and below the eye.
The boy was excited and ran to the
house for the gun, but his father told
him not to kill the dog as it might be-
long to a neighbor. About seven O'Clock
it came to Mrs. H. r. Epps' and lay
down by the fire. He was driven out.
Early Sunday morning he came by
your correspondents place and fought
the dogs. After which he went home
and was Immediately killed. There IS
no telling the amount Of damage that
NAV result from the effects Of this dog S
encounters with other dogs. We hope
the effects upon the boy may not be Sc
rious as the teeth of the dog hardly
| broke the skin. l. ). W.
