Evening aDogs Enters the Yard and Be
gan Swapping at Everything in sight
and Acting Very strange-The Minister
Orders Him on When He Makes a
Spring and Sefzes the Good Mans Foot
in His Mouth, Bittingi Through His Shoe
and Ons.Toe.
But few persons In the congregation
Sunday night at the St. Paul ". Z.
church were aware tof the fact that the
Iastor, Rev-.E. C. Beach, who delivered
the earnest, discourse had, during the
Gay, passed through an experience with
q dog and was at that time suffering
from the bite OF al canine which may
cause him serious results, as it was
learned yesterday that the dog gave out
unnntstakeabAe signs Of being mad
During the afternoon the dog, which
was a spotted coach dog, came into the
yard and jumped upon his son, but did
not attempt to bitei him. In few min
utes the dog came back and attacked
the dogs of G. L Davidson and acted
strange, and as he passed the poarch
where Rev Mr.. Beach was sitting, the
minister spoke TO the dog in an authori-
tive manner, ordering him to get out.
This appeared to insult the dignity
Of the spotted puTp and he at once made
spring for the clerg lyman, VINO kicked
at the dos and landed his right foot in
the animals mouth, who set his teeth
down upon the foot, biting through the
zoe next 10 the big one.
Rev. Mr.. Beach an once placed his foot
in not water 10 draw out any poison
that might have been injected, and yes
1erday came down town and had the
shoe mended where the,tooth had passed
through.
He was also made to feel very IN
easy by learnig moreiof the dog which
had bitten him, and he will take the
greatest care to see that no unhealthy
signs appear, and will also have his
foot treated. The dog, so far as could
f,e learned from inquiry. had, during
the day, bitten several dogs in the north
part Of the city, and had also attacked
several children, bat asifar as Mr. Beach
could learn had only bitten one boy
very seriously, on the arm.
"A party Of men started out in search
of the dog and killed him yesterday in
ahe north part Of town, near the stock
yards Several dogs We're bitten by
the dog, and Mr. Beach suggested that
a, waning should be published in the
Eagle asking that all persons in that
Tortion of the city iwhere the dog Is
known to have Fbeenyshouid watch care
fully their dogs and keep them tied I'm.
til the hnnit is passed In speaking TO
a reporter for the Eagle Rev. Mr.. Beach
said:
81 dom want 20 start any mad-dog
excitement, or anything OF that kind,
but want to give the people warning
with reference TO the care they should
exercise with dogs OF course 1 don't
know that the dog was mad, and am
"a Their Of the opinion that it was not
afflicted with hyNdrophobia, but its ac-
tons were certainly very peculiar. I do
not feel particularly uneasy, but then
my foot is little sore, and I should
much rather the dog had not bitten me-
j want others to watch. out and II any
bad symptoms occur will commence
doobering rghtiaway."
The bite Of the doSand the strange &C
ton has caused considerable unea siness
among the friends of AIR. Beach, and
they call readily tojnind all the sad ex-
per1ences Of PERSONS who have been Bit
ten: but II is 10 be hoped that the i'm
mediate application of hot water will
draw out the poison and he viii escape
any serious results
Fern S1ively, a son OF J. R SniyeIy,
was bitten by the same dog, but i'm
medfately went 20 a physician and had
his arm attended TO. This occurred in
West Wichita The dog is known to
have bitten several dogs IN the locality.
On Second street bridge boy by the
ma me of Russell was bitten on the leg
by the same dog and then then dog
turned north and bit the dog of Tony
Vreeland and cut several pranIIs among
the boys on West Central avenue.
After leaving the St. Paul church the
cog bit boy named Armstrong on
North Lawrence avenue and attacked
some little girls, but they escaped by
running into a house
East Of the railroad track and near
Fifteenth street the dog bit COW and
there is no telling what other depreda-
lions he did do
Every one gives the same description
of the dog as q small black and white
coach dog. The greatest care should
be taken and Prof. Dyer said he would
send special instructions 10 the schools /
to-day to warn the children TO use the
greatest caution. There seemed to be j
but little doubt last night but what the |
dog was effected with hydrophobia.
