MAD DOG SCARE.

There was some excitement in town
Monday over an alleged mad dog.
The dog was a shepherd that has been
loating around the Fayette House and
he had been caught in the act of chew
ing a tree---a very suspicious act for a
canine. An attempt was made to
poison him. and Chas. Cain shot at
him behind wheelbarrow. Still
the dog kept on being mad. John
Petit and others organized posse
and went on a fruitless hunt. Night
came on with the dog absent and swal'
lowed up in mystery. Tuesday morn
ing he appeared again and was alive
this morning as usual, although
numerous attempts have been made tc
do away with him. A combined land
and sea attack is hourly expected.
The town is dividing on the question
of the dogs sanity. -Fayette Postal

LIFE SAVING PHONE.

1t was at Montour recently that a
new use was found for the telephone.
The Waterloo Reporter relates the
story as follows: A telephone message
was received at the central Office at
Montour yesterday, asking for help
and stated that the person talking was
crazy and that she feared that she
would murder her child The indi-
vidual however, was unable to tell
who she was or wheIe she was. AS
there are about $50 phones on this
line, there was no way of locating
the speaker, except by the process of
elimination of all other phones. 1t
took two hours to do this, each in
dividual phone being rung up by the
central. After several hours the
trouble was located at the home OF
Hiram Avery, butcher Assistance
was sent at once to the residence
where it developed that Mrs. Avery,
as she had stated had gone insane.
Realizing her condition, she staggered
to the phone and sent out her appeal
for aid to save her from herself. The
only one in the house with her at the
time was an 1S-months old grandchild.
There can be no doubt that had not the
central Office kept Mrs. Avery at the
phone there would have been 9
tragedy. As it was both Mrs. Avery
and the child narrowly escaped crema
ton, for the child, when assistance
arrived had taken shovelful of coal:
from the stove and set it OH the floor
Every door in the house had beer
locked and it was found necessary fol
them to force an entrance. Mr.. Avery
had gone to Toledo in the morning
and knew nothing about the occur
renee until he was sent for.
