LITTLE GIRL IS
 BITTEN BY DOG
VICIOUS DOG ATTACKS LENORE ZWICKER; INJURIES ARE
 NOT SERIOUS

While crossing Wickersham street where it merges into First avenue at GOldens corner yesterday after noon little Lenore Zwicker was at Iacked by vicious dog ill a pass ing team and had narrow escape from a serious ii not fatal in jury. rne little girl was on her way uptown to- meet her mother who is employed at the Panama Bakery at the time of the accident
 AS she was crossing the street a dog team, consisting of two animals. driven by their owner George the Greek. who lives on Hall street be- tween Wendell and First Avenue. came down Wickersham street and instead oi turning up First avenue, made for the child. She made an attempt to get behind an auto stand ing in front of Golden's store but failed to make it, one of the dogs, a big brute. struck her and knocked her down. The driver on Golden s delivery wagon, which was standing before the store, jumped for the ami mai, grabbed him, and succeeded in muzzling him. The owner of the team at the same time grabbed the other dog. MT. Golden, attracted by the cries of the little girl, rushed in- to the street, picked up the child and brot her into the store. E. B. Col lins entered the store at that time, and at MT. Golden's suggestion took Lenore to drug store. From there she was taken to the office of Dr. de la Vergne, who found her injuries to consist of three scratches. where the dogs claws had struck the child 8 face. One of the marks penetrated the skin and broke the flesh slightly, one stitch being taken to close the wound. The other two were neglible. The quick action of Golden's delivery man and the owner of the team pre- vented the little girl from being bit ten seriously. A short time after the attack, Chief of Police Sanderlin, ac- companied by MT. Golden who went along for identification purposes, went to Hall street and killed the dog making the assault. It was known to be vicious and the owner as a rule walks along at its side when it was on the streets. On this occasion, however, he was forced to go back to the sled to negotiate a passage around the vehicles in front of Golden's store which gave the brute his opportunity to attack the child.
