KILL MAD DOG.
TENANTS IN
HIDING
Police Swat Canine Dis.
turber to the Happy
Hunting Grounds.

There was excitement in a three
story dwelling at 116 Belmont avenue
yesterday afternoon when a stray eng
lish setter dog. which was pronounced
mad, made the tenants of the house
prisoners on the top ioor in the apart
ments of Mrs. Mary Rosen. Policemen
Ruhl and Huebner ended the excite-
ment when they beat the canine to
death with their nightsticks.
The dog was noticed on the 'front.'
stoop. and when the news spread that
1t was there. all hands were hemmed
in and sought shelter on the third floor
The dog then ran into the hall and to
the top floor. Following this one of the
women screamed from out of the 'front.'
window for the police. Several citi-
zens rushed into the police station, a
block away, and said there was trouble
at lis Belmont avenue. Policeman
Ruhl learned that a mad dog was caus-
ing the disorder, and he sent a boy
back to the station for his nightstick.
He had his billy with him. but this
would bring him in to close ang with
the foaming dog, and he was prevented
from shooting because the dog was
leaning against a door which led into
a room where the enants were shell
tered.
Ruhl finally decided that even with
his nightstick he would be up against
1t. m he sought help, and Huebner
rushed to his assistance and, like Ruhl,
he sent for his nightstlck. Before the
dog was disposed of a large crowd was
attracted. and while a number APP
preciated the fact that the work of the
police was far from pleasant. others
laughed at the slaughter and appeared
pleased when the policemen missed
striking. the dog several times. When
the guardians of the peace finished
their part of the work they returned
to the station with their blood-covered
sticks, which CAV evidence of their
having been in a warm battle.
The name of the owner of the dog
was not learned, but several hours
later it was taken in eharge by the
city's dead animal man.
