A Mad Dog Bites Two Little Girls of Athens, Ala.
----------
   A hound dog, supposed to be mad, was prowling on the streets of Monday, and 
meeting little Ada Lermen, daughter of Mr. L. Lerman, attacked her and bit her 
on the hand: he kept on his course, and soon coming up to little Allie Belle, 
daughter of Mr. Jas. P. Gordon, who was on her way to her grandma’s, bit her 
in several places, terribly.  He tried, also, to bite Mr. Tom Carter, but did 
not succeed, and, also tore the dress of a colored girl, named Alice Wilson, 
who, in his rage, he attempted to bite.  The dog was afterwards killed my Tom 
Crenshaw (col.) with a piece of paling.  Little Ada Lerman had part of her 
finger amputated on Monday night, and both the little girls bitten are doing 
as well as could be expected.  We trust to Heaven it may turn out that the dog 
was not mad, and, as is sometimes the case, may have had his strange actions 
caused by something he may have eaten.  This hope we will cling to! – Athens
