MAD DOG KILLED.
--
B. W. Hafner and Jule West had a
narrow escape from a mad dog Sun
day at the foot of Pine Street on Rem
mel Avenue. The demented animal
was frothing at the mouth, with bulg
ing eyes that could have been rubbed
off with sticks, and had almost reached
the two men, when they observed
its peculiar actions.
Had the dog not been staggering,
both would grobablyhave been bitten,
but Mr. Hafner managed to climb up
on a barn roof, while West ran to the
house and secured a gun with which
the animal was Bhot.
The dog approached from Chastain
Addition and may have bitten other
dogs or animals before noticed. There
is no doubt but that the dog had the
rabies and such animals as may have
been bitten should be looked after
until the danger period is passed.
DIED AT BEAUMONT.
J. R. Mayhan on Saturday evening
received a telegram announcing the
death of Frank Heintzman at Beau
mont, Texas. The deceased was aged
about 45 years and left here two years
ago for Kansas City.
While in Newport, he ran a butcher
shop for George Stephens and later for
himself. He was married to an
adopted daughter of Charles Mat
thews.
RAILROAD WORKMEN DROWNED.
Two railroad hands, while coming
down the river in a small craft last
Thursday evening, were drowned at
the mouth of Rocky Bayou, by the
sinking of the boat in a strong cur
rent. Their bodies were recovered
one Friday, the other Saturday—and
buried by the Railroad Co. We did
not learn the names of the unfortu
nates. This sad accident should be a
warping to all inexperienced parties
who venture to travel on White river
without a guide or pilot; for it’s a
dangerous undertaking, from Buffalo
City to Newport.—Melbourne Regis

Mary had a little lamb—that time
haB passed away. No lamb could fol
low up the gait that Mary goes today.
For now she rides on air-shod wheels,
in skirts too short by half; no lambkin
shares her airy flight, but you can see
her calf. But who is there that can
complain, or cry in woe, “Alas!” So
long as Mary’s calf’s alright, the lamb
can go to grass. So all the men de
light to gaze, their joy is not a sham;
for while the other critter’s out they
have no use for lamb.—Ex.
