Mad Dog Runs Amuck In Town Four Persons Bitten Before The Animal Was Run Down and Shot. Whole Community Gets Excited!
A tall thin man clad in a blue Army overcoat carrying an old-fashioned long barreled muzzle-loading rifle, stalked down the middle of Philadelphia Street on Wednesday morning as though he were looking for something. He might of been taken for an Revolutionary soldier come back to celebrate Washington s birthday. And he was looking for
something out in White Township, near East Pike Schoolhouse, a mad dog had passed and bitten him on the left forearm. He was John Stiffler, who has been living in Indiana with his Grandmother, Mrs. Engle. When bitten, he borrowed a gun at once and followed the dog towards Indiana, but was not able to keep in sight of it all the way and it got in town before he got a shot at it. It sprang at several school children on the way, but did
not bite them. As the dog came up Philadelphia Sfieet, it sprang at Samuel Alwine in front of the courthouse, bitting him on the left wrist. In front of Godfrey Marshall's harness store, Charles Stormer of Puxantawney, was attacked an bitten on his right hand. For some time after that the dog seems to have been lost sight of, although Stiffler and policeman Harris, whom Stiffler had notified, were both looking for him. Shortly after noon
Miss Jessie McKimmie of West Church Street, was passing along Philadelphia Street at the crossing of Seventh, the dog which came north on seventh, passed close by her and before she noticed him, he sprang at her and seized her by the right hand. Miss McKimmie screamed, and attempted to throw the dog, but hung on tenaciously for sometime. Bert
Roof who happened to be passing by, ran to Miss McKimmies assistance, but she had shaken the dog loose before he reached her. Roof borrowed a gun at Hetrick's Drug Store and followed the dog east on Philadelphia Street. coming up with him at Fourth Sheet and wounding him, finally
killing him at Fourth and Oaks Street. On the way, the dog stopped near the East End Hotel long enough to bite the dog of W.A. Dib of Parkwood. Miss McKimmie is being treated at the hospital. Mr. Stiffler left on Tuesday for Pittsburg where he will take the "Pastear Treatment" in
Mercy Hospital. *Note: The story continues to say the dog was tested and had rabies and they explained how rabies treatments were done* *Note:
The above article says John Stiffler*

Alden Stiffler Home From The Hospital Mr. Alden Stiffler, who makes his home in town and served on the extra
police force on various occasions retumed Wednesday of last week from Mercy Hospital, where he had been taking Pastear Treatments for the bite of a mad dog which created such an excitement five weeks ago today. Mr. Stiffler is in his usual health and spirits. He deserves great credit for the untiring persistence for which he followed the dog from the time it bite him out by the East Pike Schoolhouse until he saw it shot that same afternoon.
