TWO BITTEN BY RABID DOG
Sen aid Daughter Of Brooks Reed the
Victims Of a Family Pet,
ANIMAL KILLED LATER BY A POLICEMAN
Unfortunntes Taken 10 h City and
Given Prompt MedicaI Attendance
Dog Attempts TO Bite An
other boy.

Erma, the 17-year-old daughter, and
Reuben, the 11-year-old son of William
Brooks Reed. former city treasurer, were
severely bitten by a dog which is believed
to have been suffering from rabies. The
dog, which had been a pet Of the family,
had, It is said, been acting strangely for
two or three days and after It had at
tackled and bitten the young woman and her
brother was shot. The head of the dog was
shipped last night by DR.. Jennings, the
family physician, to. the Pasteur institute
in Chicago.
Miss Erma and her young brother had
gone to Big Lake for a walk, taking the
dog, a small fox terrier, with them. While
playing with the animal 1t suddenly new
at the boy and bit him severely in two
places on the forearm. The boy ran from
the dog and climbed a tree, a feat which
the young woman was unable to emulate.
The dog, which by this time was frothing
at the mouth, then attacked the young
woman and fastened it's teeth in her arm
above the elbow, making an ugly wound,
from which the blood flowed freely. A
young lad who was fishing nearby came to
Miss Reeds assistance and the dog few
at him, fastening its teeth in the arm
near the shoulder. The young fellow for
t~unately was wearing a heavy coat OF
ducking and the animals teeth failed to
penetrate to the flesh.
The young fellow managed to shake the
dog loose and struck It with the butt end
OF his fishing rod. The dog then attacked
another pet dog which Miss Reed and her
brother had with them, but is believed
to have failed to bite 1t.
Word was sent to the police and Special
oflcer Eaton was dispatched to the scene
After a long search he located the animal
in al gully at the top OF Harrison street,
where he ended its existence with . shot
from his revolver.
Miss Reed and her brother we're brought
back to the city and at once attended tc
by DR.. Jennings.

CHARTER FEE DEFECTIVE

PIERRE, s. D., Aug. 2S.-(special.)-
State Secretary Berg. in his letter Of trans
initial accompanying his biennial report
to the governor, takes up the matter Of
interpretations in this state. and has the
following to say:
The. uniform charter fee of so as now
provided for all corporations organized for
proht is inadequate and unjust. Corpora
lions organized with a small authorized
capital stock, which are Incorporated by
residents of this state for operating and
borders Of our state. thereby developing its
resources and adding property to the as
sessment rolls of the localities where their
business is carried on. are required to pay
large capitalization often capitalized at
$1,000, DOC, 900. which concerns with a few II
any exceptions, never transact a dollars
worth of business within this state, nor
bring any property into the state that can
be assessed for taxes.
Our laws should be so amended as to
establish a graduated charter fee to be
graded upon the authorized capital stock
provided for in the articles OF incorpora-
tion.
