Peter Gayle, negro, plead guilty to a charge of assault with a deadly weapon and was sentenced to work the roads under the supervision of the State Highway and Public Works Commission for a period of six months. The road sentence was suspended upon the condition that he pay a $25.00 fine and court costs, pay Dr. Baxter $10.00 for medical services rendered W. H. Phillips, negro who was assaulted, and pay Phillips $13.00, the sum which the injured man had already paid out for medical aid.

Those being inoculated are Walter R. White, Duke Jones, Early Shearin, Billy Peete and John Hall. Mr. Shearin and Mr. Hall were snapped by the dog last Tuesday while on the streets of Warrenton and the other four were bitten that night while in Hunter Drug Co. The teeth of the canine sank into the flesh of Mr. White but there is some doubt wheTher the dog broke the skin on the others when he caught hold of their legs. The dog did not show symptoms of rabies and those whom he gripped were of the opinion that he was in a playful mood when he grabbed their legs and tugged at their trousers. He was the property of E. L. Green and was known to have a habit of catching hold of trousers legs and pulling them to attract attention. Both Mr. Green and his son, Buck Green of Durham, were in the drug store playing with the dog when he tugged at Mr. Jones and Mr. Peete and later snapped Mr. White. He also grabbed Mr. Buck Green by the leg but the skin was not broken and he is not taking the treatments. In addition to grabbing and biting these people, he was in a fight with Vance Neal's dog and is thought to have bitten several other animals. Mr. Neal has killed his dog and others are being kept in confinement. The dog began to show symptoms of hydrophobia Wednesday morning when he refused to eat, it was stated. Later he was carried to Dr. Yow, vetenarian of Henderson, who stated at the time the dog showed symptoms of being mad. He died In the vetenarian's hospital and his * * ?- J-_ 1 ?- "T neaa was sent 10 me state uaouratory in Raleigh where chemists pronounced him mad. Four of the victims began taking their treatments on Saturday and the fifth, Mr. Hall, who said he was bitten twice, began receiving his doses on Tuesday. The dog was vaccinated against rabies in March, it was stated. Man Pays County 25-Year-Old Debt; Dies In Few Days B. S.
