 Ot a mad dog Thursday evening at
 o'clock at the Savoy mine, Al MeClel-
 land arrived here last night on the be-
 lated Crown King train on his way to

 Al Francis horse was slss bitten by
 tho mad dog and were it not for the
 presence of pet camp dog at the Savoy mine, called Jimmie" |" several others, including NJ. G. Cunniff's three children, might have been bitten.
 Speaking of the visit of the mad dog to the Savoy mine to Journal Miner man last night, Mir. Meaeliana said that it had followed Al Francis from Crown King, biting his horse OF. the way.
 Arriving in camp while the miners were changing shifts it attaeked in succession Pete Breen and Del Lyman Jimmie" the pet dog, engaged it in battle and these men escaped with their oyeralls pierced by the teeth of the feroeious brute. Al MeClelland was then attacked and bitten. on the left wrist. The dog then ran in the direction of M. G. Cunnif's three children, who were playing near by. "Jimmie'' tackled it the second time and the children escaped unhsrmed-
 By this time the camp became alarmed. M. c. Cunniff heard the noise and came to the rescue with his rifle. A shot from it prevented the maddened canine from doing further damage.
 MT. CcClelland went on shift as us- ual and worked in the mine Thursday night. After awakening Friday he walked to Crown King, where he learn ed that the dog had ben bitten by skunk a few days before. He inform e6 Mrs Harry Brown of the incident. Ne doctor being in camp, Mrs. Brown eauteriezd the wound.
 MeClelland returned to the Savoy mine and began preparations to leave for the Pasteur Institute. When ne Superintendent Cunnif and the miners employed at Savoy that the strange dog that had bitten him belong to Manuel ArvisO and was really mad a general massacre of the dogs and eats in and around the camp fearing that some one of them had been bitten. "Jimmie, " the faithful canine that had pernaps saved the children and some of the men from being attacked, was shot and killed. Another dog in the camp was also des- patched The shoting of the eats IOl- owed as fast as they appeared.
 The mad dog also bit the six year ,ld daughter of its owner, but the bite lid not penetrate the skin and no se- ious results are anticipated.
 It is known to have been bitten by
 skunk and as a preeautiOn was tied " a string at it's owners home in 'rown King. It broke the string and ollowed Al Francis to the Savoy mine fter it had bitten the child of its wner.
 "Jimmie" was pet in the Brad law mountain mining camps. He is lleged to have been imported to rown King by Judge Hawkins of this Ity. General regret is expressed that is death was necessary as a precau- ouaTv measure

one per cent tax on gross earning. of express, telephone and telegraph companies; Bailey's bill for executions at the territorial prison; a twenty-dol lar pension for Mrs. TaffelIa, widow of ranger, and Burns anti-bOletta bill Morris pioneer home bill was recon. mended to the council by. the commit. tee of the whole and passed the eoun- cil with salary for the superinten- dent at $12Os.
 In the house, the Burns anti-boletta bill, the Bailey insurance bill, the bill separating white and black children an the public schools at the option of the trustees, the Woolf bounty law as finally amended, and the Pace bill re- lating to mutual insurance companies were passed.
 New bills were by Moore for the salary of the clerk of the board of supervisors at s2,OOO and the Morris game law bill.
 The district public examiner bill was referred to the judiciary committee and will probably pass in a day or two.
 A sensational occurrence in the eoun- cii occurred following adjournment when President Geo. W. P Hunt was heard to exelaim, "You're a liar, you're a damned liar, get out!"
 This was addressed to a eorrespon- dent as a result of anger over an ar tiele published two weeks ago on a conference of eight eOuneilmen and railroad representatives in the Elem ing block, in which it was stated the meeting was in Frank Cox's office.
 The statement was made on the word of two members and the story was never denied. It is not denied now ex eept by one man in particular, who says that the session was in Ben Goodrien's office in the same building and in the rooms of F.. B. Gage.

 By a strange oversight it was dis covered by Webb that the Hampton educational qualification bill which had passed over the governors veto had not become q law because it was transmitted by some clerk in Pages office without a eertifcatiOn of the presiding officers passing the veto.
 Unable to get the bill, a new one was introduced today and passed both houses by q strict party vote and IS now in the hands of the governor, who will probably veto it when ten days have passed over its head.
