old deaf and toothless NANCY shepherd
dog followed an OK cart into Sneedyille
the other day, ard stationed himself
under the cart to guard it and the steers
while the rustic youth was exchanging
his skunk hides and chestnuts for wear
ing apparel and a currycomb. Some
mischievous boys began to poke sticks
through the cart wheels at the dog.
The dog bore the annoyance as long as
his patience permitted and then arose
in self defense. He was about to gum"
them all. One boy run ove an old tin
bucket, skinned his shin and yelled he
was mad dog Bit The words mad
dog" went from ear to ear, and in
less than two minutes and O half the
whole town was wild with excitement
and armed with rocks, sticks, axes,
crowbars, hammers, pistols, shotguns
and Winchester rifles. The poor old
Shep" was surrounded in FIVE minutes
by three merchants, five wood choppers,
n tanner, two blacksmiths, one JUS
tice of the peace, four lawyers, three
doctors, one postmaster, the sheriff and
two deputies, M painter and two
preachers, six loafers and as many
r~oustabouts. Capt. j ordered them
to take aim and fire. Whereupon Geo.
s. struck at the dog with a fence
rail and a dozen pistols went bang!
bang! bang! and as many more double
barreled shotguns and Winchester rifles
were fired in rapid succession until the
street was filled with smoke and scent
OF burning powder. One faint howl
went up. The smoke cleared away and
the dog was found dead-riddled with
bullets, carved with axes and beat into
jelly with hammers and crowbars. The
youth swore out a warrant for the town
in general. A coroner's inqsest and a
