 Despatched Here.

Another dog has been added to the list Of rabid animals disposed of in Bridgeport since the discovery or the presence of rabies here was nade and the muxzIing law has been strictly en- forced Early yesterday morning mem bers of the family of Christian Mey- CTS. a baker at 590 Boston avenue. dis covered their pet dog acting uueerly in the back yard. They called Policeman Terrence Rogers and he at once tied the dog, pending the arrival Of Dog Warden George Hall. Following a vet Eerinary's examination, the dog was pronounced rabfd and later shot, In- vestigation fails to disclose that any person was bitten by the dog and the family are said to be at a loss to know where 1t received the bite that inocu- lated 1t.
 Liquor and Dog Agent John M. Brown, whose time lately has been well taken up in following reports on
 mad dogs and those reported to have been bitten by dogs, reported today that of the cases on record at the emergency hospital four have been bitten by their own pet dogs, which have as yet shown rabid condition. Three other cases examined were bit ten by dogs tied in other persons yards, which likewise are probably
 immune from rabies. Other cases are still under observation and inyestiga- ton. It is believed that the cases re- ported yesterday will not be infected for the reason that quick action was taken on the part of emergency sur geons in cauterizing the wounds

Mrs. Young objected She went into the yard, intercepted the boy and threw the pipe to the ground. This made Young angry and he shut the door on his wife. When she tried to open a window, he seized her arm, threw her to the ground and poured oil on her, she alleged
 Mrs. Young later returned and tried to gain entrance to her home and when refused brought habeas corpus proceedings which were heard today. She said her husband was unIawfully detaining the two children.
 Judge Curtis thought the couple ought to become reconci1ed and took them into his chambers for a private conference. It was finally. agreed that Mrs. Young should be allowed to take the children to her parents home. The court hopes they will be able to settle their differences. But mean while the habeas corpus proceedings will not be dropped.
