SUITE UW TO MUZZLE ORES Atlanta, March 31.— "If the city of Atlanta will not put muzzles on dangerous dog*, lets see whether the State of Georgia will,” says Alder man VanDyke, in substance, this morning. Since Mayor Woodward has vetoed the first dog-muzzling ordinance passed by council, the alderman announces that he will draft another, and that if it meets the same fate, he will take steps to have a general dog muzzling bill introduced in the legislature. It is his proposal to have a gen eral law in Georgia, for a specific .lumber of months, to run out auto matically, keeping the dogs muz zled for a long enough time to stamp out the present prevalence of rabies, which amounts to almost an epidemic in some sections.

Lula Gur ley had the knife and she gave Florence Clark a stab In the side which was sufficient to stop the fight. The Clnrk woman was also hit over the head with an Iron in strument.
