The first development indicating danger since a mad dog belonging to | Tim Mahoney of Worcester, Mass, was killed here by Dog Warden Peter ! Gardner, nearly a month ago, came | Tuesday, when it was announced that a calf belonging to R. S HurIbut of Woodstock avenue had been killed and it's head sent to Middletown to be sub 1ected to the usual tests to determine if the animal had been affected by ralb- ies.
 When the Mahoney dog was on it's rampage through this city about four weeks ago it entered the Hurlbut barn and bit the calf. Recently -he calf has acted queerly. Monday it was sold to a local butcher, who put it in his barn for keeping Monday night Dur ing the evening it set up a terrific and peculiar believing and, knowing that it had been bitten by the dog, the deal CT went out and knocked it on the head with a hammer, killing it. Tues day the animal was returned to the Hurlbut place and buried. It was. un der the circumstances, only sold, any way, for the benefit of securing its hide.
 The circumstances attending the case would indicate that the animal was suffering from hydrophObia. It surely was bitten by the Mahoney dog the head of which was later sent to biiddletown for examination and de clared by experts to have been that of an animal suffering with rabies in an aggravated form. This finding result ed In the issuing of Commissioner Ay- erills order to muzzle or confine all dogs in Putnam for a period of three months, which order is being rigorous ly enforced.
 After speaking of the calf case Tues day, Mir Gardner stated that he has killed two dogs since he put the Ma honey animal away. The second of these was killed Monday night. This animal, recently brought here from a neighboring village, became sick Sat urday night Monday when the wife of the man who owned it went to feed the dog he leaped at her, but did no damage, as he was limited to a field of operations marked by the length of his chain. When MT. Gardner saw the dog, he having been summoned, it was in such a condition that he did not hesitate a minute about killing it. The other dog he has killed was the property of Henry Laparde of Auburn Mass, and had strayed into this sec tion.
 MT. Gardner is putting in much time looking after his duties as dog warden and was out three hours Tuesdsy y morning looking for unmuzzled dogs. These are very scarce, however, none i having been taken by him since the recent order went into effect
