Bitten by a Dog

Mrs. David Williams, of St. Da-
vid, was badly bitten by dog on
last Thursday morning. She and
the children were occupied at some
thing outdoors near their home,
when an Airedale, owned in the
family, began acting strangely, as
if it might be mad, and started to-
ward one of the children. Mrs.
Williams, thinking of the danger
to the child and regardless of risk
to herself, made for the vicious
dog to drive it off. In the attempt
she was badly bitten several times
by the dog, Fearing hydrophobia,
Mr.. Williams killed the dog, and
then hurried to town for a doctor:
DR.. Fuller returned with him at
once and rendered assistance. It
is not known for a certainty that
the dog was mad, but to find out
if such was the case, its head was
sent on to Phoenix for an exami-
nation.

Repairing Roads

Elias Summers, in charge of road
repair work, in place of Foreman
Martin. changed to another loca-
ton, has been working the roads
near town lately with the small
force allowed him. The cu1vert on
the down river road, between the
railroad and the Hartman place,
which was washed out by heavy
rain two or three weeks ago, has
been repaired and the outfit was
working further on down when
called off by the county engineer
and changed over to the east side
road. It is an easy matter to real
ize that the road improvement
problem is big one in the country
aroundlBenson, especially now that
so much damage has been caused
by the rains of the past season, but
an extra strong effort Bshould be
made on that account, to put them
in reasonably good condition for
travel Now, with the exception
of the through east and west high
way, they are almost impossible.
