A mad dog passed through Rut-

into Ford and started in pursuit. In
the meantime, the people along the
pike were warned by phone of the
dogs coming and of his apparent in
tentions. Several saw him but none
were prepared for battle except
Charley Foster who retreated when
his first shot went wild.

from the customary noise of the
Ford, will never be known, but, when
