A very sad death, full of awful suffering,
occurred in Logan settlement, Dearbon
county, recently About three weeks ago
a strange dog made its appearance there
snarling and swapping at everything 1t
passed. The little five-year-od son OF
John Lecrox was standing in the road,
and as the dog passed it sank its poison
fangs into the little fellows check, and
passed on, biting numerous cattle and
hogs as it went. The alarmed parents
took the child to maidstone and it adj
hered to his cheek for fifteen hours. The
wound healed nicely. but last week he
was taken with spasms, and the terrified
parents began to realize that the mad
stone had not done its work, and that the
little one had hydrophobia. He frothed
at the mouth and bit and tore the bed
clothes, and during the fierce paroxisms
attempted to fasten his teeth in his own
flesh. His terrible agony lasted for two
days, when death ended it.-RipIey Jour
