Dogs Had Rabies.

Dogs Had Rabies
The examination Of the heads of two
dogs sent TO State Bacteriologist Her
bert X Watson. after five persons had
been bitten in Wilmington last week,
revealed that the large beagle dog. shot
by the police. was in an unusually seri-
Gus state and suffered with rabies in
the worst form. In the case of the
smaller head, that of a pet dog which
was reported TO have bitten two men,
the examna ton revealed only slight
evidence of rabies.
The report was completed by DR..
Watson early this morning and sub
rnitted to Homer c. Simmons, clerk of
Council.

wildly about in the vicinity of Twenty
sixth and Van Buren streets. Dog

disappeared At 8 O'Clock the police
received report tndt Ihe uOg was at
Twenty third and Washington, but it
again escaped. The police were given a
description of it and ordered To see that
all dogs were kept off the streets
The last clue to the whereabouts of
the dog indicated that il had gone out
the Kennett Pike. The dog catcher and
his assistant continued their search
through that section. but up 10 noon

AS far as is known, the bog has not
bitten any other dogs or persons This
dog, it is believed, became rabid as a
result of being bitten by a mad dog
which was killed on Thursday after bit
ing many dogs in different sections of
the city. over thirty dogs have been
rounded up and taken to the pound since
Thursday in an effort to prevent the
spread of rabies.
Last evening the police received a re-
port that a child had been attacked by
