Ellsworth, Iowa, is.undergoing a
mad dog scare. Some twenty per-
sons were bitten, one of whom died,
and three are not expected to live.
The others are taking the Pasteur
treatment, and all the dogs in that
town and neighborhood were either
killed or secured. If some of the
worthless ours that obstruct our
sidewalks and snap at passers by
were killed it would add much to
the safety of the people who are
compelled to lpass around them or
run the risk of being bitten.
