Miller was quite severely bitten on
the calf of the leg by a dog owned
by Eugene Harris. Mr.. Miller had
the wound promptly dressed by a
physician and no serious results will
follow, although the wound showed
the marks of four teeth, and became
considerably infiamed. Mr.. Miller
went to the owner of the dog, asking
him to dispose of the dog but failed
to get any satisfaction, and conse

to have the dog legally dispatched

disposition, to say the least, by
all who know him. The case will
probably be heard next week.
