Dog Bites Children in Colum..
hia.

Four little children and one youth,
all of whom were bitten several days
ago by dog which was suffering
from rabies, are now being treated
regularly at the laboratory of the
state health department and are un-
derstood to be doing we'll None OF
the wounds inflicted by the dog were
serious, most of them being mere
scratches, the skin in some places
hardly being broken, but in order to
take no chances whatever of infec-
tion, the treatment is being admins
tered regularly.
Louise and Bette Collins, aged re-
spectively ten years and three years,
daughters of Mr.. and Mrs. George
w. Collins, 1917 Pickens street, were
bitten on the legs. Elizabeth Rodgers,
aged seven years, was bitten on the
hand. Other persons bitten were:
Melton Pierson, boy about 16 years
old and Louise Bunting, age four
years. Mr.. Collins, in speaking of the
incident yesterday, said that the dog
was small and that he understood
that it had bitten several dogs in the
community.
The head of the animal was exam
ined at the state laboratory and the
dog was found to be suffering from
rabies.-The State.
