Hazzards of a census taker............ Pack of dogs attack, kill Census worker Associated Press NASHVILLE, Ind. --A pack of dogs attacked and killed a 71-year-old Census Bureau worker who walked past warning signs in an attempt to count the occupants of an isolated, rural home. An autopsy showed that Dorothy Stewart died from injuries suffered during the attack, Brown County prosecutor Jim Oliver said Monday. When sheriff's deputies arrived at the home Saturday, they found Stewart's body about 3 feet from the front door of the one-story log cabin, surrounded by dogs. The dogs -- deputies counted more than 20 -- were chewing on Stewart's arms and legs, Brown County Sheriff Dan Huesman said. The driveway posted "Beware of Dog" and "No Trespassing" signs. "Some were on chains, some were loose and some were in the house," Huesman said. "We were able to capture at least 12 dogs. We captured as many as we could." One dog was shot because it attacked an officer, Huesman said. Investigators were not sure how many of the dogs belonged to the homeowner, Wayne Newton, and how many were strays. "They have denied that the dogs were theirs," Oliver said. "We have reason to disbelieve that. Mostly because the complaints indicate there were always many more dogs there than the few that they claim to have." Oliver said the investigation into Stewart's death will continue, and he hasn't ruled out criminal charges. Officials at the Census Bureau's national office said they could not recall any incidents similar to this.
