The dog in question may havel come across the line from Massachu setts or from Rhode Island, In any event he was killed up in that corner of the town of Thompson that rests very close to the borders of the neighboring states, and tests made for the state bureau of domestic animals show that he had a well developed case of rabies.
 This animal was an enaciated hound, without collar, tag or other means of Identification. At the Mil- liam Sherman farm. about a mile, from the Thompson poor farm and over toward the Rhode Island border, this dog was seen lying under wagon at the Sherman place. As MT. Sher' mans son approached the dog dashed out and for him, Sherman picking up a club to drive the animal off, after wards killing him.
