"The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Tuesday, October 4, 1898 MAD DOG BITES A CHILD. A mad dog created consternation in the streets of Argentine yesterday morning, and in his wild course attached Ada WILLIAMS, the little daughter of Fireman WILLIAMS of the Santa Fe and bit her terribly about the legs and thigh. The dog was crossing the tracks of the electric road when a car ran into it. The canine seemed to become crazed at once, and ran down the street snapping at everything that was within reach. Little Ada was on her way to school and could not get out of the way of the infuriated beast. She fell to the ground and was only rescued when the city marshall appeared upon the scene and put a bullet in the dog's brain. The wounded girl was removed to her home on Ruby avenue and attended to by Dr. ALEXANDER. The dog had succeeded in biting a number of other dogs before he was killed, and now the officers are on the lookout for all stray curs. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
