MAD DOG CHASE
 ON MAIN STREET
Animal That Was Acting Queeriy Shot
 By Policeman Patrick Murphy

A supposedly mad dog was shot and killed by Policeman Patrick Murphy at the junction of Shetucket street and Laurel Hill avenue Thursday night about 10 o,clotl; after a chase of about three hours. EaSly in the evening Po- Hceman Murphy was notified that a dog apparently developing rabies was running loose about the city streets and R. H. Gray, who happened to be at the New Haven railroad station, told the officer that the dog was in that vicinity. Policeman Murphy when in front of Buckingham Memorial saw the dog and directing a well aimed blow at him with his night stick lai3 it low and, as he thought, killing it. The officer stepped back and was about to have the carcass removed when the dog came back to life sud- denly and getting upon its feet ran down Main street. About 9:45 o'clock the officer was notified that the hunt ed animal was on the steps of the Porteous & Mitchell company. Ths dog was routed from his resting place and followed by a curious crowd start ed off down Main street, looking back occasionally to see if his pursuers were still following him. When in front of the Woolworth store on Main street tho officer got close enough to make another swipe at him with his night stick but missed end the dog kept on
 
 Rose place. The officer followed and arrived at Preston Brothers corner just as the dog started out of Rose place to cross the square. As the way was clear Officer Murphy drew his revolver and fired one shot, the bullet striking the dog in the throat, but did not seem to bother it much, for it kept on it's W ayup Franklin street and turned up Meyers alley. The crowd then began to gather fast, attracted by the noise of tine revolver shot.
 Officer Murphy followed in the dogs wake and went Into the alley. The dog, coming out on Main street again, turned toward the square and kept on through Main street till it got to Shan non's corner. Here it turned into She tucket street. Charles Moves took off his cczt and approaching the dog and then held it's head down so that it could do no damage with it's fangs. This took place at the junction of Sine Sucket street and Laurel Hill. He held the dog until Officer Murphy ar rived in one of Pattison's automobiles for his use and the dog was dispatch ed with two well-directed revolver shots fired back of it's ears. Members of the street department acted as un- dertakeTs and the remains were taken to S1e city barn. Dr. N. B. Lewis was notified of the shooting. Later in the evening he removed the dogs head and will send 1t to Middletowl. where it will be examined for evidence of raL- bies.
 It is claimed that the dog jumped at man on Main street tearing the sleeve out of his coat. and that it also bit several other dogs during the eve ming.
 The dog was of the shepherd variety. dark with partly white legs. It wore no collar nor tag, making 1t fmpossi- ble to identify the owner. The dog has been seen about the streets for some days past and apparently was of the tramp type.
