MAD DOG KILLED LITTLE GIRL IS BITTEN Dog Fought Several Other Dogs; Owners Warned To Tie Dogs Up. One child has been bitten, and perhaps a half-dozen dogs showing symptoms of hydrophobia have been killed by their owners and police as a result of the city’s lat est mad-dog scare, started when a dog, whose owner is unknown, terrorized residents of the North ward last Sunday afternoon. Little Margurite Earle Williams, 3%-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Z. Williams was playing in front of her home at 300 Jef ferson St., Sunday afternoon with other children. A strange acting “hound” dog had been noticed in the vicinity, and to the horror of neighbors, the dog approached the children and bit the little girl on the hand. A neighbor gave chase, to ob serve the dog’s actions after leav ing the children, but lost the trail after he had followed the mad dog several blocks. Later the dog was reported seen on streets west of the Avenue, and sometime later re turned to the Jefferson St. place where he had bit the little girl, after fighting several other dogs. Williams, father of the little girl, had returned home by that time. and soon after the dog’s re-appear >.nce in the neighborhood, shot and killed him. Upon advice of physi cian, the dog’s head was sent to italeigh Monday for analysis, and Tuesday, city officials were notified that the dog was definitely suffer ing from hydrophobia. The little Williams girl has been under close observance, and is re ported to be suffering very little from the bite. Her hand is not even swollen, and it is thought the wound is of a minor nature, though every precaution will be taken. D. W. Wheeler, whose dog was known to have been in a scrap with the dog, immediately killed his dog, and city policeman Clifton Massey has shot several other dogs as a safe-guard. All residents are urged to keep a close observance over their dogs, and report any strange acting dogs immediately to the po lice department. , Election On Repeal (Continued from page one) 28th, from midnight to midnight, to permit those to register who have become 21 years of age since the last general election and those who have moved into the precincts since that time.

He paid a high compli ment* to the Coroner and jury for the efficient investigation made, pointing out that the elimination of many suspects and running down of many rumors made his task in the future easier. A mass of information has been accumulated and more rum ors continue to fly. The latest was that yesterday there had been a confession in the case. This was not true. Among many questions to puz zle investigators was testimony regarding a magazine found at the home of the slain girl. At the newstand where she bought this magazine, they are certain she got it Friday night about 9 o’clock and that she was wearing a blue coat suit. In case this were true, and the nights are not confused, the en tire case would have to be recon structed. It was also rumored today that the body might be exhumed ;f certan new evidence is obtained.
