MAD DOG SCARE.

       The town was treated to a mad dog sensation at Saturday morning.

       A strange dog appeared on the streets and began fighting every dog he came in contact with and very soon a small army of people armed with shot guns, pistols and target rifles were after him.

       The canine supposed to have hydrophobia, was not killed until he had attacked half a dozen dogs and rounded up under the Savas hotel.  Mr. Xydias got out his 45 and laid the dog low with a couple of shots.

       The remains of the dog were confined to the bone yard.
