and Suffers From Teeth
of Big Animal

Little Bess Conner, the Is year old
girl whose psychic powers attracted the
attention of scientists throughout the
state some months ago, was severely
bitten Monday night IN a struggle with
big shepherd dog. The girl fought for
her life and was only able to free her
self from the grip of the animal after
Mrs. Adolph o. Jewel had come to her
assistance. Mrs. Jewel was also bitten
by the dog and was able only with the
greatest difficulty to escape from the
frenzied animal.
Bess lives with her parents at IA Eu-
reka street. Across the street is the
home of Policeman Adolph Jewel. The
Jewels own a large dog, which hitherto
had never been suspected of vicious
tendencies. Bess had gone to the Jewel
home after her dinner to play with the
children there. She had spent a pleasant
evening in the garden and at o'clock
she was leaving Mrs. Jewel called her
back and plucked a bouquet of flowers
for her from the garden. With the bios
SONS in her hand Bess started for the
street. when the dog rushed upon her.
Animal Attacks Child
The animal fastened It's teeth in the
child's right arm. The girl screamed in
fright and struggled to shake the beast
from her shoulder. She beat it about
the head until It fell to the ground In
stantly the brute renewed the attack
and seized her at the calf of the right
leg. BY this time Mrs. Jewel had rushed
to the rescue Of the girl and threw
herself upon the dog. The animal re-
linquished it's hold upon the child and
hurled itself at Mrs Jewe The woman

able to drive the beast from her.
Little Bess was treated by physi-
clan. VINO found that her arm and leg
had been badly lacerated. Mrs. Jewels
injuries were not as serious
1t was in January of this year that
Bess Conner, who is the daughter of A.
Conner, an electrician, came into public
notice by reason of her remarkable ex-
