BITTEN BY MAD DOG
YOUNG WOMAN ATTACKED girl receives fatal wounds [By Telegraph—Press Association—‘Copyright] Received Nov. 2, 8.15 p.m. SYDNEY, Nov. 2. Two young women wore attacked by a mad Airedale dog at Addington yesterday. So severely bitten, was Myrtle Miller, that her life is despaired of. The dog, apparently, was affected by the severe heat, as in the past it has been perfectly docile. It first attacked Miss Stephen, aged 24, and bit her on the side and forearms. It then rushed at Miss Miller, aged 16, who was washing dishes, and bit her on the logs, thighs and arms, one wound requiring 20 stitches. Miss Miller certainly would have been killed but for the intervention of a young man who seized the dog’s cars, twisting them violently and retaining a tenacious hold until the police arrived and shot the dog. Miss Miller was taken to hospital in a critical condition.
