DOG BITES TEN PEOPLE
IN CLEVELAND STREETS
CLEVELAND, Sept. 18.—A dog be-
longing to A. L. Stitch was killed
Sunday at Pawnee. In the last few
days the dog had bitten ten different
people.
The head was sent to Dr. John
Duke, at Guthrie, for analysis, and
from the examination it was found
that the dog was mad. Treatments
were sent by Dr. Duke for those who
have been bitten.
The acting mayor of Pawnee has
taken steps to prevent the spread of
rabies and has issued a proclamation
to the people of that city to keep
their dogs tied or to muzzle them,
and the parents of children are ad-
vised to take especial precaution dur-
