HE KILLED A MAD DOG.
Rabid Animal Chased For Several
Miles And Is Finally Shot
BY Mr.. Brady.

Mr. James Brady. engineer OF the
Annapolis waterwoIks and stationed at
the pumping station near the reservoir,
shot aud killed a mad dog shortly
after O'Clock yesterday afternoon
after the animal had terrorized that
section of the county and had prob
ably bitten several domestic animals.
The death of the animal was ac-
complished only after it had been pur-
sued for several miles and its pursueIs
were so badly winded that ii was
some time before they could proceed
back to the starting poipt. The ami
NAL, large dun-colored Tennessee
hound, which had, apparently been
trained TO fox hunting, appeared on
the grounds of the water company
shortly before noon. 1t was frothing
at the mouth and swapping at every
thing with which it came in contact.
Samuel Douw, colored, who is en-
ployed at the engine house, narrowly
escaped being bitten by the animal.
Several horses in the neighborhood
were stampeded, but whether or not
any OF them were bitten by the ami
NAL could not be learned. Mr.. Brady
and the colored man Douw started in
pursuit of =. the animal armed with
rifles. They were soon joined by many
other persons whom they encountered
on the road and in short time they
had large following.
The animal left the county road and
took to the fields and woods, where il
was difficult TO follow it. Ii came
back on the road, crossed the railroad
and was finally cornered on the frou t
lawn of Loretto at Camp Parole. where
bullet from rifle ended its career

Company May Not Open

No definite plans have been made
by the stockholders and directors of
the Annapolis Canning Company as
TO whether or not the plant will be
operated this year. There has been
no very heavy planting of tomatoes
thus far this season and weather con-
ditions have been such that it is hard
lY possible a large acreage will be put
down this year. In all parts OF the
county where canning factories are
operated there is an inclination on
the part of many owners to feel graft
fed over the smallness of the crop
which will be harvested as better
prices will be secured for last year S

have disposed of their last years pack
