At dawn Sunday the good people of that part
of Houston between the Main street and Hat.
fields crossing were aroused from the peaeeable
sleep only known to those who breath fresh air
and lead the enviable life of farmers by the
shouting and shooting Of one Fred Greenlv who
was either chasing or being chased by a mad dog
they arrived about the same time at Mr.. Van
Rensselaer's farm who greeted Greenlv warmly
and Joined in the chase. BY the time Hat6eld's
was reached the dog spurred on by the shots dir.
ected at him was well on the lead, and the hired
man was seen franucally ascending tree and
yelling for help This noise brought out all
hands who evidently thought quarrel was going
on among the chicken thieves. owing to the con.
fusion stirred up by this occurance the dog made
good his escape, but the pursuing party was able
to tract him for a considerable distance across
lots and only gave up the hunt when the church
bells tolled for service. It has not been estab-
lished as yet how Mr.. Greenly happened to be
around at that time sunday morning.
