RUMOR RECALL
 IN MONTGOMERY

Montgomery June 5.-(Special)- )-Ru- mors to the effect that petitions seeking a recall of the present board of city commissioners have been put into circu- lation were today spread throughout the city, without any apparent authentic source of information, though with fair backing. What grounds are alleged against the commissioners cannot be ascertained, though the understanding that exists is that a few of the citizens who have been compelled to suffer at the hands of the commissioners are back of the movement
 In the event that such an election
 should be held little doubt exists as to the action of the citizens in retaining the commissioners, the prevalent opinion being that not enough time has elapsed | for such changes in Montgomery as might | be desired The commissioners who have
 been interviewed are unanimous in theii
 statements that any such election would

Dr. Wood Bitten

Dr. W. c. Wood, well known physi- clan of Woodward Station was bitten by dog yesterday while on a profes- sional visit. The animal was afterwards reported to be infected with rabies, so the head was shipped this morning to the Pasteur Institute at Montgomery. Dr. Wood was summoned to the home of Jack Tougle, to attend his little daughter and an innocent looking, average-sized brown dog inflicted a bite just above the victims ankle. At the time the dog did not seem mad but later in the day he bit several other dogs and pigs and was shot. Dr. Wood was notified of this, sent the head to the Montgomery experts and does not anticipate any bad results from the bite.
