Show FIGHT BETWEEN A MAN AND A 1JOG. The San Francisco Bulletin says: About half past eight o'clock this morning;, a boy runnitig along Leavenworth Leaven-worth sircet, through the rain, kicked a dog lying on the sidewalk in hU way, and the brute springing to his leei immediately attacked him, threw him down, and was only prevented from ; doing further damage by a heavy blow from the loot of a passer-by, a largo, powerl'ul looking man. The animal, linrntii'lilv nrmisrd nnd infuriated by this second kick, turned on bis assailant, assail-ant, and a severe struggle ensued. The man lost his footing by the impetus im-petus of tho dog's first spring, and they both rolled over and over iu the wet and mud, tho man succeeding in seizing the brute by the throat, i'rom which he never lost his grip. A dray-, man driving by stopped his dray, and j pulling out one of the stakes, stood over the combatants, endeavoring to get in a blow, but such was the danger of striking wrong, the man himself told him to desist. The light had lasted probably three minutes, and two or three men were just hurrying up the street, attracted at-tracted by the cries of the boy, who had ran itito a garden for saiuty, when a noise was heard like the breaking oi' dry chips, and the dog stretched himself him-self suddenly and stitriy out, his tongue hanging, black and swollen, from his mouth, and the man came to the top ooco more for the last time, one hand still hold of the animal's throat and the other outstretched for tho drayman's dray-man's weapon, receiving which he ro'c swiftly to his l'ect and etruek the dog heavily upon the head once or twice. There was a convulsive quivering of the animal's frame, a rush of blood from his mouth and nose and the fi.ht was over. The man's wrists were badly lacerated, but beyond that, owing ow-ing to tho strength of his grip, he had received do injury. |
