Dodds at first sight said that it was
clearly a case of rabies in an advanced
stage, and acting on this information the
chief shot the dog. He took it to DR..

Health Officer Edwards. The latter
promised to make post norton ex-
animation
Pending the result of the post mortem,
nothing has been done about the animals
that were bitten beyond notifying the
owners. 1t is possible that steps will
be taken to prevent an outbreak of hy-
drophobia, even at the sacrifice of the
animals that were bitten.
Mr.. Richards dog had not acted right
yesterday and today. 1t was dispatched
