Stabbed The Mad Dog

Stabbed the Mad Dog.

Grand Rapids, Mich., May 28. - Miss Eloise Strong, of Toledo, faced what might have been her death at the home of her aunt, Mrs. Elizabeth Strong, in Algoma township. Mrs. Strong and a daughter live alone, and for protection have a large bull dog, which they keep chained in the yard during the day. At 5 o'clock this afternoon he broke the chain and crawled under a shed. While Miss Strong and her aunt were hunting for the animal he dashed from his hiding place and caught hold of the young lady's dress. He showed every symptoms of rabies. Instead of fainting or screaming, Miss Strong caught up a pitchfork, fortunately near at hand, and drove the tines into the dog's body. A passing farmer secured a shot gun and shot the dog.
