The owner of the dog shot this
week called at Rev. Mines resi-
dence to learn particulars of the in
cident. He said, the dog had been
subject to peculiar fits, but had al
ways recovered upon the administra
tion Of whiskey. Whether the dog
had fits. or was suffering from Incl
pient hydrophObia, the fact remains
that he displayed every symptom of
rabies, frothing at the mouth, snap
ping at persons, other dogs, and ev-
en- inanimate things as he passed
them. Mr. Milne says that had the
dog betrayed no sign of rabies he
would have followed the course he
did, as the dog had within five min
utes attacked two persons, fought
with another dog, and terrorized the
neighborhood by his vicious behavior
Beside this, the little animal was
evidently in distress, and the kill
ing was humane. The owner was
reasonable in his attitude to the af-
fair and remarked it was probably
just as we'll the dog was killed, I'm
der the circumstances.
