Puppy Killed by Cyelist, Its Mother Attacked All Bicyelists.
Wheelmen were attacked by a dog the other day, one after another. It was no ordinary vicious brute, but a dog seeking vengeance. It is dead now, and the bicyclists who shot at it fruitlessly and swore at it ferociously are sorry.
The dog had a family of puppies at the house of Edward Bishop two weeks ago, says the New York World. All were given away but one. That last offspring was run over by a careless bicyclist and killed. The mother licked the dead puppy and then started on a mission of revenge.
Bicycle riders were attacked on the road and were obliged to search for safety. Among those attacked were Messrs. M. E. Simmons, G. W. Decker, his daughter Mollie, Fred J. Tolley, James Pinckney, Al A. Grambs and Martin Erk.
Several shots were fired at the creature, but went wide of the mark, and the dog escaped to near Tracyville, three miles out of Port Jervis, N. J.
A number of boys and men followed and killed it in an old shed. The dog’s wrath and excitement had driven it mad, and frothing at the mouth it cleaned the thoroughfares of cyclers, pedestrians and all until killed.
