Mad Dog Bit Child. . . Son of G.W. Owen at Etowah Rushed to Raleigh for Pasteur Treatment

The 8-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. G.W. Owen, a well-known family in the Etowah section of the county about 10 miles from Hendersonville, was bitten one day last week by a dog which is said to have been mad. The head of the dog was sent to Raleigh and a telegram was received that the dog had rabies.

According to the latest reports the little Owen boy is getting along nicely.
