Dog That May Have Been Mad.

Mrs. Martin Orner, SO Montour Row,
was Monday eve bitten by dog which
in all probability was afflicted with
rabies. She was on her way to Mill
street and had just turned the corner at
Monlour Row and Centre street when
she heard some men call OUT
"Look out for that dog, he is mad ~
Frightened and bewildered she ran
into the middle of the street and then
back upon the sidewalk where the first
thing she knew she felt the sharp teeth
of the dog close upon her right limb.
The dog, a brute of medium size, of
the hound species, came from East Dan
vile and was pursued by two men. Mrs.
Orner did not notice the dog until she
was bitten. He was then frothing at
the mouth and trotted off in the direc-
ton of Mausdale. He was pursued by
the two men from East Danville who
finally lost all trace of him. He bit an
other dog in the vicinity of Montour
Row and snapped at lady, who for
tunately succeeded in getting out of his
way
Mrs. Orner sustained an ugly wound
the dogs teeth sinking deep into the
fleshy part of her limb below the knee.
The wound bled profusely. The wo
man visited Jeliiff's drug store where a
lotion was prepared for applying to the
wound
