MAD DOGS TAKE A TOWN
Seven Persons Bitten at Jeffersonville, Indiana-One Dies
Jeffersonville, June 7-In the last few days no less than seven persons have
been bitten by rabid dogs, some of them fatally. A ten-year-old boy, Edward
Hubles, was bitten by a house dog that had gone mad and died in terrible
agony. A day later, Frank Hutt was severely bitten by a dog on the street.
Mrs. William Starr, an aged lady, is in a critical condition from the
ferocious attacks on her by a vicious animal from a yard that she was
passing; also the little daughters of Chat. Schinicker and William Morman
were terribly lacerated by brutes belonging to neighbors that were either
mad or vicious. The citizens have begun the slaughter of unmuzzled dogs by
the wholesale, and every morning not less than twenty dead animals are found
on the streets.
