Association a comittee appeared before
the Park. Commission yesterday afternoon

assist the Zoo Association in obtaining

las passed when the Zoo can be main
tanned by means of public subscriptions
and 81, 600 is now needed. The largest item
of expense is the cost Of guarding The
park and taking care Of the animals. Tie
question whether the board should place
a guard in the Zoo and do it itself. or
whether the Zoo Association should be
given the money TO employ such a guard
thus relieving the park board Of respon-
siDility.
The board agreed to act as agent to
turn over to the Zoo, money transferred
by Council TO the board, for the benefit
OF the Zoo.
Such a resolution was suggested by the
Zoo committee as they have already been

HAD LONG CHASE
AFTER MAD DOG

Residents of Henry Clay had mad
dog scare last evening, and incidentally
a long chase after the rabid animal.
which was finally killed at Rockford
by George Conner, who keeps a grocery
store at that place.
The peculiar actions Of the dog were
first noticed by William Anderson, who
lives near Henry Clay. and he started
after the animal. but it ran away from
him.
Down Rising Sun ane the dog
darted with Anderson IN close pursuit.
but because of the proximity of houses
no one was able to get a shot at the
canine. A few people ventured out,
but sought shelter as soon as the news
was flashed that mao dog was at
large.
The chase continued down the lane
TO the Brandywine creek. then the dog
turned east and ran down to Bancroft's
Banks. The further it proceeded. the
larger grew the crowd of pursuers. and
by the time the animal had reached
Rockford. there was a big crowd of
people after it.
Grocer Conner had heard of the ap.
proach of the dog. and procuring his
gun he waited for the animal to ap-
pear. When It did he fired and that
was the finish Of the dog The canine
so far as could be learned had bitten
no one. nor did it attack any dogs.
