Bit -Four Persons and Causes Great Ex-
element in Columbia
Bit OTHER DOGS ALSO

Those Bitten bS the Animal, Which
Was a Fine Bird Dog, Were SIF.
Alfred Wallace, Mrs. MayraEt,
Alfred Wallace, Jr., and Mr.. a.
II. Seats, of the State.
The State says Quail, an English
setter belnging to Alfred Wallace,
of Columbia, appears to have be-
come afflicted with hydrophobia, and
has attacked several persons. Not
wishing to alarm the people OF the
city UNNECESSARILY, no statement was
given out at the time, for it was
hoped that the dog was not affected
with rabies, and the animal was put
under lock- and key awaiting deyel-s
opments.
The persons attacked by this dog
are Mrs. Mayrant, mother Of Mrs.
Wallace; Alfred Wallace, superin-
tendent of the street railway; Alfred
Wallace, Jr., attorney at law, and
A. Hamilton Seats, of The State.
A very fine dog. the property Of
| Magistrate Jas. H. Fowles, is known
to have been attacked, as we'll rs
other dogs being under suspicion.
The members OF Mr.. Wallace's
household were attacked Sunday.
The animal was supposed at first to
have been III tempered on account
of having probably been poisoned
by chicken thieves who visited the
place, corner of Senate and Hender-
son streets, one night last week.
However, DR.. F. A. Coward, the
State ba.seriologist, was notified and
all wounds were cauterized and the
animal was locked up pending de-
velopments, for il it were affected
with rabies, death would come in
FIVE days. 1t would not be necessary
TO administer to the persons attack
ed any Pasteur treatment within that
length OF time.
Tuesday night the animal freed
itself from its fastening and al the
corner of Senate and Barnwell street
attacked Mr.. Seats as he was on
his way to supper. The dog struck
him In the chest without warming,
and as Mr.. Seats fell back from the
impact, the dog fastened its teeth
in his left arm just above the elbow.
He went at once to DR.. T.. ~. Du--
Bose and had the wound cauterized.. ;.
DR.. Coward stated that even should
the animal be caught and found to
be rabid, he has at the laboratory
enough virus to treat all the persons
who have been attacked.
Quail is a white setter, female,
with liver colored spots. Every
patrolman in the iity was given her
description and Sergt Sloan saw her
at the corner of Main and Geryais
streets at l o'clock in the morning.
He fired one time and is satisfied
that he wounded the dog. All per-
sons In the city are advised il such
dog is killed to notify at once the
police station or Dr.. A. F. Coward
so that the brain may be tested.
There was another rabid dog run
ming amuck Wednesday and created
much excitement on Main and As
sembly streets in the section from
Washington street to the postofflce.
Two officers were needed to kill it,
1.-THE animal refusing to die after
| being shot and severely beaten about
the head by the first officer, who
essayed to dispatch it. The aniIna!
commenced its last run on Assem-
bly, street and after attacking an
other dog, it was seen to be clearly
out Of it's sense.
Policeman Dreher therefore shot
1t and when the animal fell, he ad-
vanced and after beating it vigor-
ously with his club left It for dead.
The dog recovered in q few moments
and ran into Main street, creating
much excitement On this thorough
fare until Policeman Sigh was en-
countered in front of Monckton's
and the shot fred that ended it's
eXistance
