BITTEN BY A MAD DOG.
Mr.. AND MRS. JAMES DONOVAN OF BREN.
FORD LEFT FOR PASTEUR INSTITUTE.
The Dog Supposed to Have Been Affected
With the Rabies, Pet Dog of the Fam
iIy.-The Dog Was Shot.

As the result of the bite of pet dog,
supposed to have been affected with
the rabies, Mr.. and Mrs. James H.
Donovan, residing on the S. Gilbert
Wilds farm, near Brenford, left on
Monday for a course of treatment at
the Pasteur Institute, New York
City.
Mr.. and Mrs. Donovan owned very
intelligent dog which they priced
highly as a watch dog. They valued
it especially as a watch dog during the
season of tramps, for no pedestrians
dared to walk on the premises unat-
tended. During the daytime the dog
was kept chained. On Sunday week,
the dog, somehow or other, got away
from home, and was not seen all day
long. When he came home the next
morning, Mrs. Donovan spoke to it re-
proachfully for leaving and sent it to
the kennel. Mrs. Donovan followed,
and in attempting to fasten the chain,
the animal turned and caught her by
the arm. Her husband who was neal
by, saw the predicament of his wife
and Immediately went to her assist
ance. The Infatuated animal then
turned his attention to Mr.. Donovan
jumping at him and swapping him il
the face. Blood oozed freely from tn,
abrasion. Whether the dogs tootl
struck him, Mr.. Donovan does no
know, but blood seemed to ooze NOR
from the gum under the lip.
At the time neither Mr., and Mrs
Donovan realized that the dog was at
fected with the rabies, but few day
later the animal grew much worse
suffering great deal from pain, an
displayed a black tongue. AS is th
case with most rabid animals, it di
not froth at the mouth, or become di
turbed at water. Mr.. Donovan she
the dog on Wednesday to end i
misery.
q Since the above accident, the matte
, has weighed heavily on their minds
Neighbors had persuaded them tn
= their dog was effected with the hydr
phobia, and have been using their e
r forts toward influencing them to go
/ the Pasteur Institute. The situate
> was a sad and depressing one to then
p and they sought the better course, al
left to put themselves under treatme1

TOMATO CANNERIES CLOSED.
John H. HOffecker the Last to Close Shut
Down Yesterday.

We noted the fact last week that J.
B. COunseman & Co., had shut down
because of an inability to get cans of
the proper size, though their canning
output this year was nearly doublethat
of last year.
John H. Hoffecker who was more
fortunate in getting cans, kept on until
hindered by the cool weather, ending
with nearly double the usual pack.
The last run at this establishment was
made yesterday.
From all parts of the Peninsula come
accounts of excessive crops, and many
cannerles were compelled to shut down
because the stock of cans was exhaus-
ted. The great advance in the price of
cans made it certain the packers would
lose, but as a rule, they kept on until
their stock was used mp.
