him last fall. Hens br,ther-n- law Cornell
NcNumrc Of Cakland-had the full sister To
this hound. Il bitch Of q good deal the same
look and value.
About two weeks ago Cornell brought his
dog over to Hens place. and Hen tied both
dogs to the barn. Just out OF reach. each Of tho
ether. Hens wife and children went away on
a long visit and he went down to his fathers
morning and evening to look after the dogs
and other live stock. A week ago last Thurs
day he went up as usual, and decided to let
the dogs loose and take them down to
his fathers. He united the dog. which
seemed 10 ne unusually pecv.sh. No sooner
was tho dog loose than he jumped for his
sister and grabbed her ! y the car. She did
not like this and snapped at her brother. Thoy
were chewing away. each at the other in n
lively fashion. although they drew no blood.
when Hen let fly with his foot and landed his
heavy shoe in the short ribs of his dog. The
dog let go Of his sister and jumped at Hen.
who kicked him again.
But the dog was not to be kicked away. and
he fastened his teeth in the calf OF his mas
ter's leg. Hen was unused to such temper as
this. and took to his heels The dog bit him
three times in the legs before he got to the
barn. Hen turned and gave him n Gnal kick
that sent him flying. But he returned to the
charge. and banged himself against the barn
door which Hen was Just slamming behind
him. Hen got u pitchfork out OF the hay
and ran out to get at the dog. His four
bites were smarting. and he thought the
dog was mad AMI ought to be killed
anyhow. But the dog was gone nor has he
heen seen or heard OF since. Hen left the bitch
tied to the barn and lmped down to his
fathers. When he got there the whole family
was in an uproar Immediately. They all de-
cded that the dog must have been mad. and
as Hen was pretty much OF that way OF think
ing himself he became greatly alarmed.
AS the readers Of THE Sun have ample op-
portunity OF knowing. the northern part OF
New Jersey is overrun with dogs. and many OF
them are mad. or at least have that reputa-
ton. The frenzy for biting seems to run from
village TO village. ceasing symetlmes Tor
It is seldom that Il man kills his dog. even

At by, the whole community. SO. although
Hen Winters has no know ledge OF his dog hav-
