Following an all day chase yester- day for brown hound, owned by Auguest F. Kuehn, of PlattsvilI,e e which covered a course of nearly 20
 miles, in TrumbuIl, Fairfield and Bridgeport, biting and snapping at both human beings and dogs. it be- came definitely known today that it, had bitten two persons and five dogs and was finally captured and shot by Veterinary c. B. c. Atkins of this city.
 The reports of bites from the dog have been received by Health Officer Edward A. Mcclellan, M.

 Fourth street yesterday. A report 1 that Esther Gerber had been bitten 1 has not been confirmed by the health 1 authorities.
 l Owing to a report that the dog cap l tured by Dr. Atkins was of the set 1 ter type, Dog Warden George Hall and Dog Agent John Brown worked I late into the night searching for the | animal yesterday. That Atkins, how 1 ever, captured the rabid animal as told 1 yesterdayt in the Farmer, was later --a I as the time large setter owned hg l former Mayor Frank Clark, which | had been bitten by the brown dog I and which is now under obseryation in 1 pr. Atkins detention pens.

 a general feeling that relaxation .o1
 vigilance has resulted in the enforce ment being neglected. That the out
 break yesterday will also prolong the
 original order by a month or more is also pointed out in many quarters
 today.
