great excitement to Ginter Park

The canine madness would no
doubt have spread to other suburbs
and probably to the city if it had not
been for the precautions taken by the
Ginter Park authorities, who immc-
liately ordered that all dogs he muz-
zled or killed.
An officer went to every home In
Ginter Park and notified the owners
of dogs to muzzlc their CANNES at
once or tie them so that no other per-
sons would run the risk of being bit
ten. As many as twenty-five dogs
were seen on one corner in Glntcr
Park Saturday night.
Just how many mad dogs there are
in Henrico county at the present is
not known, but it is certain that every
prccaution will be taken to prevent
the spread of rabies, as sufficient
warning has been given to keep many
dogs from running at large until the
prevalence of the disease has been
checked or the CANNES suffering from
hydrophobia have been killed.
