Charlie Hauser Bit By Mad Dog, Jan. 20, 1921

Charlie Hauser, a local merchant, was attacked and bitten several times Thursday morning by a dog believed to have been made. Following the scuffle, Mr. Hauser seized an instrument and with one blow killed the canine.

Mr. Hauser, who operates an establishment in the outskirts of the city, was brought to High Point for medical attention. The head of the canine was severed and sent immediately to Raleigh to ascertain whether the dog was really suffering from rabies.

The merchant was bitten three times, first in the angle, then in the thigh, and finally near the knee. Persons who profess to be acquainted with the demeanor of a maddened dog assert there is no doubt that the dog attacking Mr. Hauser was mad.
