Reba Miller, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ralph Miller of 1885 West
Seventh street, who was bitten 10 days
ago by dog, is now at the home of
her grandfather, Abort Miller, West
Grove, Pa, where she will remain for
some time. She was moved to West
Grove on the advice of tho physician
who has been in attendance. He does
not fear any serious results, as the
dogs attack resulted mainly in u
hrnise on the hip, the clothing proven
ting the teeth from sinking into the
flesh, and slight wound on the leg.
1t is not thought that any saliva from
the tooth entered the flesh. The motor
men and conductors and other employees
of the Peoples railway raised a fund
of hearty $40 to send the child away,
but the money was not used. The
child is recovering.
