Entire MarStOn Family Bitten by Mad
Doe in Ell PaSO.

FL PaSO newspapers OF TUESDAY last
reported that the entire Marston fam
lily have been bitten by mad dog,
and are now at the Pasteur institute
in Austin for treatment. AS the
Marston family formerly resided in
Clifton and Mr.. and Mrs. Marston
have two daughters here, Miss Grace
and Mrs. John Stirrat, the following
might be of interest:
Charles Marston, his wife, and
daughter, Ruth, and two sons, Fred
and Robert, have each been bitten by
the same dog, two-mOnths-oldp puppy.
The dog was adjudged mad by vet
enary surgeon and the persons who
were bitten left for Austin to take
treatment at the Pasteur Institute,
fearing hydrophobia.
Mrs. Marston was the first to be bit
ten by the puppy. The animal was
little bird dog owned by Mr.. Marston
and which had been d plaything for
the children. Two weeks ago the
puppy was bitten by another dog, at
which time several other dogs in the
hborhood were bitten. The dog
showed no signs of being sick until
Friday, when Mrs. Marston attempted
biting her on the arm and ankle.
Saturday her two boys and Julian
Herman, Il neighoor, were playing
with the dog aud all three were Bit
ten. 1t was "ot thought the dog was
mad, however, until Miss Ruth Mars
ton WAS also bitten. On arriving
home Mr.. Mdrston went over to look
at the dog, and while examining it
received bite on the hand. A vete-
nary surg con was then called in and
the dog was adjudged mad and killed.
Jud Webster, who has been nomi-
mated by the democrats for the Office
of supervisors, and who is one of
Clifton's most substantial citizens, is
going to run like a race horse all
over the county. Party lines will
cut no figure with him. he looks
alike to all of them.
Walter Penn and Wm. Tyler re-
turned Tuesday evening from a
weeks trip in the mountains, where
they had several bear fights and
caught a good supply of mountain
trout They report hunting fine, but
say the weather is too cool and the
bear and lion are so thick that it is
impossible to sleep at night.
Mr.. Reed, who resides on the river
above Clifton, has been polling this
district during the past two weeks.
The result of his work is for private
information, hence the ERA is unable
to report what Mr.. Reed found out.
Rumors are to the effect that there
are not as many Mark Smith voters
in the county now as two years ago.
The democrats claim that Smith will
receive an increased majority. To
settle this dispute we must wait until
after the third of November.
Harry White, who has been con-
uected with the New England u Cliff
ton Copper company the past five or
six years. has resigned his position
and in the future will be a resident
contract for large amount of haul
ing for the SocUrro Mining comUany,
near Silver City, and during the past
two weeks has purchased several
heavy teams and wagons. He will
be equipped with one of the best
freighting outfits in the southwest
and has enough work ahead to keep
him busy several mouths. The So
zorro company is one OF the old COM
panies of New Mexico that has taken
on new life They have recently
made several rich strikes and are
now on the road to success. Harry
is a good hustler and by his depart
ure the New England company has
lost valuable man. He left today
with his outfit and will make the trip
overland.
