Tosay that there were exciting
times a* tlw residence of
Mrs Hackett of Bridge Valiev, last
Saturday night, wou’d not began
to express the real condition of
affairs.
And it was all cansed by a dog
too—peace to his memory.
Mrs J. W. Lancaster and her
three interesting children, family
of Mr Lancaster, the Photograph r
went out to Ridgi Valley ou Satur- !
day to visit Mrs Hackett, mother I
of Mrs. Lancaster and Mr. John
Hackett of the F Mirth Ward.
Mrs Hackett is a quite an old
lady, being nearly 89 years of age.
and rather feeble, She owned a
large and inteligeut dog, named
Old Ring,” and she and her fami
ly were very fond of him.
Some days ago a mad dog pass
ed through the Ridge Valley settle
ment and bit a number of hogs,
i cattle and doge, and many people
were keeping animals, tied up;
and interesting developments was
at the keenest tension.
Saturday night arrived and af
ter supper, quite a number of wo
men and children w u ie sitting
about Mrs Hackett, dinning-room
enjeying social entercourse, and
many a merry jest as burst it
childish laughter marked the iho
toentsas they slipped away.
Through an open door, on the
loor of the kitchen. Old Ring lav
dreaming of rabbits and pot licker
E\ery thing and every body w»»
happy or merry or both.
Suddenly a womens screams:

Two little ones got onto the top
of the safe. i
Several were ou the bed, w th
one boy of ten yours a straddle the
head board.
While the balance of th.' compa
ny were running over each other
getting out at the door, and every
body was crying or screaming,
“away up in G.”
Mr. Joe Harris and Mrs. Lan
caster were the only ones who did
not loose their heads. Mr. Harris
made a sneak for the kitchen door
to close it. 1 *
He finally reached it. The dog
was staggering around the kitchen,
foaming at the mouth, eyes rolling
and waa suffering as only a dog
can, with the rabies.
Mr. Harris pushed the door. A
bucket of coal was in the way and
prevented its closing. The mad
dog raging worse and the scream
ing of the frightened women and
children grew louder.
Finally the door was cl »sed. Old
Mrs. Racket sprang from the ta
; ble and with the sprighTy step o
; a sixteen year o’d, she ran 40 r
yards to a neighbors.
Her daughter descended from
the stove, and the otha 1 s withone
common consent, sought the same
level, the floor—then “went yon
der.' all but Charley, he stayed in
the loft.
Mrs. Lancaster went to her
satchel and took out a Smith &
Wesson 38 revolver, and gave it
to Mr. Harris who, through the
kitchen window, put tour balls
through and through the strug
gling swaying body of the mad dog l
The fifth shot entered the dogs ■
chest and came eur through his
back near the root of bis tail
And he died
Then the family was “rounded
up” for the night. They wept over
Ring’s body, and then went to bed.
But their troubles had not ended,
for when morning dawned, it waa
discovered that some one in the j
stampede of the uight b'-fere had
left the cowpeu gate open, and the
cows and calves were to-gether,
and there was no cream fur th' j
coffee.
Another calamity: one little
fellow going into the ashhopper
for safety, had knocked the boards
off and the rain had slacked the
whole business.
Another disaster: One of the la
dies who took refuge in the smoke
house forgot, in her excitement, to
button the door when sh» came
out, after the “bark“ had been
“shipwrecked," and the <>ld brood
sow had sto'e a country ham and
devoured nearly all the meat.
‘Oh you ought to hear my wife
tell the st' ry and have the three
children run their side show at
tachment, helping her,“ said Mr.
Lancaster,
Poor Ring, he was a good dog
He is dead. But none of those who
witnessed the scenes, that traus
pited around the closing mcments
of his life will ever forget him—
or them.
