fenced and careful surgeons.

iLaHarpe's Mad Dog Scare.

The people OF LaHarpe have had a
mighty bad mad dog scare recently.
A strange dog which seemed to be
rabid appeared in town and made its
way throughout the town before it was
caught and killed. During its prog
ress it bit three people, among them
Mrs. Brister, mother of Harry Bris-
ter of lola. She was taken to a mad
stone at Kincaid but the stone failed
to stick when applied, which is be.
lieved to be proof that the dog was
not rabid. A young girl is reported
to have been bitten on the limb and a
workman at the smelter on the hand
by the same dog. The beast appeared
Monday and was killed the same day.
