Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

     Plucky Act of Miss Myrtle McAteer at Pittsburg, Pa.

     Miss Myrtle McAteer, the tennis player, choked a mad dog to death. The dog was bounding along the street and everyone was making way for it as Miss McAteer came out of the gate at her home at West and Hill streets, Pittsburg. Instead of attempting to shun the dog she suddenly clutched it by the throat. She held the beast until she became exhausted. Then she loosened her grip, but the dog was so weak that there was no danger. He died later. Miss McAteer’s dress was badly torn in the struggle with the animal, but she was not injured in any way.
