Show THEY T ATA if Missed and Hit a Boy Dog Driven Mad by Children New York, Aug. IS. A squad of policemen Is searching upper New-York New-York today for a white bull terrier which suddenly went mad last night and, after biting ten persons, dodged a shower of bullets and escaped hU p.irsuers. Besides the ten persona Irjured by tho dog, a nine year-old boy Is in the hospital with a nerlou3 bullet wound. He was brought down by one of the hundreds of bullets fired at the Infuriated animal. The dog had been playing amiably with a crowd of children when a mischievous mis-chievous boy tried the ancient trick of tying a tin can to his tall. When the dog objected, the chll ' dron belabored him with sticks and atones. With a frightened look, the dog ran about twenty feet. Then he changed his mind and came back, burling himself against the children like a cyclone, knocking some of them down and snapping at everything every-thing human within reach. The chlldrcu's screams brought frightened fathers and mothers to the windows and soon the pop of i the fathers' revolvers added to the coufuslon. The marksmanship was ; all faulty, however, and even two I policemen were unable to bring tho I dog down before ho escaped down A , siJo street. , |
