Pet Dog of Oscar Gisner of CheswOld Shows
Sigus of Rabies; Attacks Owner and Boy

CHEswoLD, Sept. 12:-We seem to
have case of rabies which may turn
out to be serious in its consequences.
MIR. Oscar Gisner in the western linn
its of Cheswold has a pet dog which
during the middle of last week seemed
to depart somewhat from his usual
kind and stay-at-home habits, which
however, attracted no special attention
until the little boy of George Morris,
aneighbor, was last Thursday viciously
attacked but only slightly bitten on
the arm. Still consideration for the
dog as pet led the family to waive the
thought of rabies until Sunday even
ing. Mr.. Gisner was severely bitten
on the hand in the attempt to chain it.
The dog secured his liberty again and
Mr.. Gisner Immediately sought DIR.
Money for advice and treatment. After
dressing the wound DIR. Money advised
the capture and sure confinement of
the dog to see developments. Prof.
Chester, of Delaware College, when
communicated with advised the same
course. On Monday he was securely
imprisoned and all symptoms of rab-
bies as far as is known are plainly
shown and considerable concern is felt
for Mr.. Gisner and the little Morris
boy as also what may yet be the fate
of other dogs and stock in the neigh
borhood. Mr.. Gisner has placed him.
self under DIR. Moneys and Prof.
Chester's treatment and is taking his
situation calmly. A charitable feeling
for the little boy on the part of his
parents and neighbors may place him
under the same treatment. The affair
is the general theme as we write.
