Afflicted ' Alvin McCullough, well known farmer living a short distance north of Elgin, was viciously attacked and bitten by a dog at his home Just Sunday. Rabies had nothing to do with the attack, affirms .the .Elgin Recorder. . )" The dog was owned by the victim, who thought he would comply with the law affecting Union county, pro viding for the confinement or muz zling of dogs, and unable, to find a muzzle he was attempting to place n collar around the animal's neck in 'order to tie him. The dog has al ways been of a cro&s disposition and would not stand still long enough to allow his master to put on tho collar. McCullough became tired of the coax ing method and caught the dog and attempted to hold him between his legs while with his hands he startad to buckle the collar. The dog broke the hold lurched backward, and sprang at McCullough from behind his teeth into the flesh just below the left shoulder blade. The infuriated animal continued his attack and badly lacer? ated McCullough's left arm, between the elbow and the wrist, nd left sev: cral minor wound's on his . legs. Mcr Cullough finally succeeded in getting into his residence. He picked up a shot gun, went to the door and fired at the dog, but in his excitement his aim was poor and the shot went amiss. 'T. f . ' lnot nig'ht, .or. the .next morning, he- returned and was immediately killed. At first the wounds causod but lit tie pain, but Monday the severcne;s increased and the injured man secured i medical assistance. Tuesday morning' he also suffered some, but :t this writing the condition of. the wound has improved considerably. The dog had formerly offered fijrlit when anyone would attempt to handle him, and had previously bitten his owner, hence there is no occasion for particular alarm that he was afflicted with rabies.
