Mr.. William 7. Bond, OF near Ac<
comac e. H., was bitten on the nose
by dog on last Wednesday, which
it is feared had the rabies. The wound
received by him, though, was so
slight. that it is not certain that the
skin was broken, and that he has any
cause therefore to fear the results.
Mr. Bond, however, proposes to
take no risk as to the results and has
had the dog killed and forwarded to
Baltimore to be examined by experts,
and if it is decided that the dog was
suffering with rabies, then he will go
to the Pasteur Institute in New York
to be treated at once Mr.. Bond left
for Baltimore on Thursday to await
there until the result of the exami-
nation is made known.
The dog was at large for several
days and during the time fifteen dogs
or more were bitten by him.
