Mad.

Quite little excitement was ere

field road Saturday afternoon by a
mad dog. Mrs. l.. A. Lagomarsino
was on her way to the cemetery. a
few miles out on that road. when a
dog. belonging to the family that had
followed them began to act queerly

near whose home II occurred. shot
the dog. The animal was an unusual
