DOGS HEAD EXAMINED
FOR signs OF RABIES

The head of a mongrel dog owned
by James S. Kearney. a contractor,
of Farrandale avenue. Bloomfield,
was taken to the City Hospital today.
where 1t will be examined by Dr..
Frank Connolly to determine If the
animal had been suffering from
rabies. The animal had been chained
in the yard of Mr.. Kearney's home.
and as 1t had always been noted for
its love for children the little ones
in the neighborhood had no hesi-
fancy in approaching it and petting
it.
Frank Scherer, 7-year-old son of
George e. Scherer, a real estate
dealer, of this city, attempted to pat
the dog on the head when it attacked
and bit him on the back The boy
ran screaming to his home, In Far
RANDALL avenue and a physician from
this city cauterized the wound, which
is considered serious. The dog was
then confined in the cellar of the
Kearney home, and it tore everything
to pieces, frightening the members
of the family.
It was not until yesterday after
noon that Patrolman John Blum was
sent for and it was with difficulty
that he managed to destroy the brute.
He was compelled to shoot 1t from
the head of the stairs. and he did
SO as the animal bounded up the
stairs to attack him.
