A FER0cToUs BEAST.
MONTREAL, Aug. 27-The little
son Of Homer Frechet, Of lOS ST..
Hubert street, Of this city, was bitten
70 death by ferocious dog Tuesday
night. When the frantic mother
Of the child endeavored to drive the
dog away, he attacked her, and only
dIsisled when cut TO pieces by
neighbor who came to her assistance.
Mr.. Frechet, who is an ameteur
fancier, recently purchased three
dogs, one OF which was cross be-
tween hound aud bulldog. The
latter was considered peaceable, and
gave no signs Of being dangerous.
Shortly after O'Clock while Mrs.
Frechet was Entertaining visitor,
she heard her 4-year-old son, who
was playing In the yard scream.
Rushing TO the window, she was
Mortified to see the dog attacking
the child, and tearing great pieces
of flesh from its body. With all
the heroism Of mothers daring,
the woman flew to the rescue. The
sight she saw was a terrible one.
The boards Of the yard were covered
with blood, while pieces Of flesh
were scattered around, though
fainting she attacked the infuriated
beast, and a terrific struggle en-
sued.
IL was an unarmed woman against
a demon, and she was fast being
overcome by the brute, when J. B..
Masse, who resides near by, came to
her assistance. At this moment the
woman tainted aud the dog turned
his attention to the new intruder.
Another desperate battle ensued,
but Masse was armed with a knife
which he welded to good purpose,
but the dog having a secure grip on
the man never let go until its
bead was nearly severed from It's
body. Medical assistance was sum
moned but the child was beyond
all human aid aud soon expired.
The face was unrecognizable, while
over dozen pieces Of flesh had been
torn from the body. The injuries
sustained by Mrs. Frechet and
Masse, while serious, are not fatal.
rRAMPED 10 DEATH.
