a dispatch from Briar Cliff Manor,
n. y, under date of Feb. -, said
Twenty young women boarders
at the Miss Knox school here were
turned out into the cold last night |
when the main building was burned. |
All of the pupils got out of the build
ing safely and were given shelter at
another school in the neighborhood. |
The loss is $4,000 This item is of |
interest to our readers when it is |
known that Miss Margaret Haugha-
won't, former dean at Wright Hall in
this city was an instructor at the !
Knox school and escaped as she |
writes in letter to a friend in this |
city. with only a pillow case full of
provision.
Last Thursday morning a large /
shepherd dog trotted down College
street until il came to the residence |
of f. NJ Burkhead where it halted |
and laid down. Later in the day Mr..
Burkhead found the dog on the front
porch and attempted to chase it off |
when it jumped at him, biting and
snarling and left deep impressions on
a heavy cane Mr. Burkhead had in
his hand The dog forced its way
past Mr. Burkhead. entered the house
and crawled under bed where it
continued snarling; after considerable
difficulty Mr. Burkhead and his wife
got it out from under the bed but
could do no more, and several college |
students were called who made a
moose of rope and sue ceeded in drag
ging it from the house The dog
hung around until Saturday night
when authorities were notified An
officer went up Sunday morning in
tending to shoot it, but found it dead
The animal was apparently a victim
of hydrophobia and what might have
proven a serious affair was averted
The dog was doubtless a valuable
dog but the owner is not known.
