BITTEN BY DOG

William, the little son of Mrs. Megorden, who is here from Waukon with his mother and enjoying a visit in the D. A. Fletcher home, met with misfortune Sunday afternoon while out walking.

In passing the Thomas Trout home on Locust Street, the bull dog belonging to the Godfrey family ran out and in a vicious manner, grabbed the little lad by the ear and badly lacerated the member.

The child was carried into the D. H. Anderson home and Dr. J. C. Bowen was called. Several stiches had to be taken to close the wound.
