they encourage them to follow particular

The Society Of Illustrators feels that the
work turned out by these handicapped men
fully justifles It's theory and practice. For
my part no body of art students have ever

WORKMAN BADLY HURT
BY FALL FROM CHURCH

w. A. Liggett, 55, is in a 10
cal hospital in critical condi-
tibn as the result of injuries he
received by failing from a height
Of 25 feet while at work as a
carpenter n the new Emmanuel
Memrial Lutheran church, being
erected in this city.
Mr.. Liggett was hurried to the
hospital for medical attention,
and examination showed that he
had received fractured skull
and bruises and cuts about the
head and face. He is said to
have been working along in the
top of the church when the ac-
cident occurred. In some UNI
known manner he slipped and
fell, his head and shoulder strik-
ing the ground. Fellow work
men of Liggett consider it re-
markable that he was not killed
outright.
Liggett has resided here for
several months. He came here
from Pennsylvania, where his
family now live.

SUPPOSED MAD. DOG RUNS
80 AMUCK

Answering a call at the sta
tion house shortly after 10
O'Clock Thursday morning, Ser
geant Ed Mungo and Special Of
ficer John Cecil jumped into the
police car and hurried up North
Main street in search of dog,
which had bitten Mary Drew
Dalton, of Johnson street, and
terrorized residents along that
tl1oroughfare. The dog, which
is not believed to have been mad
dened, was killed but not until
officers had emptied a dozen
rounds Of shot into the. body of
the andfie. -
Persons in Mechanicsville saw
the dog in that section early
Thursday and their attention
was attracted by it's actions, but
it was not believed to be mad.
Starting down Main street, the
canine, a large shepherd dog,
went over to johnson street. 1T
was in front of the Dalton resi-
dence that the little girl was bit
ten on the hand. The police said
she was attacked when she at
tempted to get another dog,
which was near the shepherd.
At this juncture, Mrs. Dalton,
upon hearing the cries of the lit
tie girl, telephoned the police
station and the officers respond
ed promptly.
The dog continued down Main
street. Several shots were taken
before the police arrived. The
weapons of the officers were put
to use but it was not until the
dog had stopped near the resi-
dence of Mrs. Robert Welch that
it was killed. Firing his pistol
five times at the dog Sergeant
Mungo succeeded in killing the
canine.
The dog was taken to the po-
lice station and it's head was
later sent to Raleigh for exami-
nation to ascertain whether it
was mad. ~
The little girl was given medi-
cal attention. Although her hand
is badly scratched and bitten,
she was resting we'll this after
noon, it was reported.
DOG NOT MAD
The. head of the dog which
Thursday5bit Mary Drew Dali
ton, little daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Carter Dalton, was not in
fected with rabies, according to
4 telegram received Saturday
from, Raleigh, where the head
was sent for examination.
The examination showed no.
n1itions of the dog having been
maddened. Il
