Mrs. Elizabeth Broadhead, Mrs. Cobus’s mother, says her daughter went nut into the kitchen about 7 o’clock. A few moments later Mrs. Broad- head heard the dog barking ex^ citedly. The mother ran out and found her daughter lying on the floor. She knew it was an epilep tic attack, and, dashing a pitcher of water into her daughter’s face, she ran into the hall and screamed for help. Philip Rockefeller, living near by, heard her and ran to her assis tance. They went into the room where Mrs/ Cobus ;lay and there saw a horrifying spectacle. The pet terrier, seeing its mistress in agony, appears to have gone mad. He flew at the prostrate woman as she writhed on the floor and re peatedly attacked her, burying its teeth in her throat and severing the jugular vein. When Rocke feller tried to tear the mad dog away it clung to the dying woman with terrible tenacity. He finally got the animal loose. It then at- tacked the mother and the mail, but they beat it off. A physician was summoned, but Mrs. Cobus had bled to death. The dog disappeared in the streets. Isaac Brock, a citizen of McLennan county, Texas, has lived Ill years.
