WOMAN BITTEN BY SIX BULL
DOGS.


Miss Cassir Hughes was attacked By
six fully grown bulldogs in her home,
No. sos East 18th street, Wednesday
night. and 80 badly bitten that she may
die. -,
Miss Hughes is "a years old. She
lives with her brother and sister on the
first floor. Mortimer Schuyler resides
in the top story, where he has his KEN
mel Of six vicious bulldogs.
After days outing Miss Hughes re-
turned 10 her home at 6 o'clock. The
front door was locked, so she forced
open rear window and gained an en-
trance to her apartments. The doors
leading into the halls were open and
the dogs rushed in upon her, evidently
taking her for an intruder, and began
tearing her clothes.
She screamed and fell in swoon
upon the floor. AS she lay there the
animals bit her hands, face and limbs.
They tore her dress ALMOST to shreds.
She made 80 much noise in getting in
that the bulldogs, which had been roam
ing through the upper halls, were
aroused &nQ Q2Su6Q OOWu StdlTS.
Miss Hughes, ignorant of all danger,
walked leislurely into the parlor ano
was about to open the door when she
WAS attacked and knocked down.
Miss Hughes recovered somewhat
and attempted to rise to her feet, but
the dogs, snarling and biting, forced
her back to the floor. While trying to
ward off their attacks her hands and
arms were bitten still more.
Her cries were heard out in the street
by Policeman Garcia, of the Morrisiapa
station. He tried to get in, but the
locked door prevented him. He heard
the girls cries growing fainter, while
the snarling of the dogs continued.
Selling his club he smashed in the
front window and stepped into the
rooms. In the darkness he was unable
to see the dogs until two of them sprang
upon him. He tried to beat them of
with his club. They bit him on the legs
and tore his trousers.
Schuyler heard the commotion aud
burrying down stairs, called the dogs
of. Miss Hughes was removed to the
Fordham Hospital. 1t took DR.. Rom
aene two hours to cauterize her wounds.
He believes hydrophobia will set in.
The policemsn's wounds were also eau
terized and he went home.- New York
