Four Persons Bitten by Dogs in Camden

FOUR PERSONS BITTEN BY DOGS IN CAMDEN Three Children and Man Victims, One Canine Believed to Be Suffering From Rabies Four persons fell victims to the fangs of dogs in Camden yesterday, in one instance it being believed the canine was suffering from rabies. George Humphreys, aged 10 years, of 28 Morris street, was bitten on the wrist by a dog which he declares was mad. The wound was carefully treated at Cooper Hospital to prevent possible complications, although the boy had sufficient forethought to suck the wound directly after he was bitten. E. J. Gallaghan, aged 45 years, of 211 Bailey street, was bitten on the left hand while administering medicine to a pet canine, and Foreman Long, aged 11 years, of 23 Lincoln avenue, was nipped on the hand. These two were treated at Cooper Hospital. While 10-year-old Thelma Payne, of 870 Fairview street, was running to meet her father a dog attacked her, biting her about the face and arm. She was taken to the Homeopathic Hospital. New Collector Named Some surprise was occasioned in Camden's Democratic circles yesterday when it was announced that former Councilman Thomas Littlehales had been appointed a deputy internal revenue collector by Revenue Collector Iredell. When Isaac Moffett stepped out of office some months ago Mr. Littlehales' name was mentioned as a possible successor, but George Hampton, of Bridgeton, was selected. Then there came a mixup, in which Hampton failed to get the proper confirmation and Iredell was given the plum. Mr. Littlehales is widely known throughout Camden and the appointment has given comparative satisfaction among the rank and file of the local Democracy. Looked for Wife in Wrong Home When a scuffling sound on the shed roof at the home of Mrs. Earl Richards, of 1012 Lawrence street, aroused her sleeping children yesterday they awakened in time to see a man climbing through the back window. Then he proceeded to light numerous matches, several of which dropped on the floor. Mrs. Richards was aroused by the cries of her children and when she found the prowler rambling about upstairs she summoned Policeman Deith, who placed the man under arrest. Before Recorder Stackhouse he gave the name of James Giberson and said he was trying to find the home of his wife, from whom he is separated. He was sentenced to a month in jail. Mother and Daughter Burned In the explosion of gas in a range at the home of Mrs. Rosie Ross, aged 38 years, of 354 Cherry street, she and her daughter, Helene, aged 7 years, were badly burned about the face and hands. Both were taken to Cooper Hospital. The woman was preparing a meal while her little daughter stood beside her. The range refused to ignite at the first application of the match and when another effort was made the explosion came. A blinding flash of flame enveloped mother and daughter. Once Custodian, Now Inmate For many years one of the custodians of the insane asylum at Blackwood, former Freeholder Patrick McNulty, of Gloucester City, was taken to that institution from Camden by Under Sheriff Newitt yesterday. McNulty, now old and feeble-minded, was committed to the asylum by Judge Boyle after being adjudged insane following the fatal shooting of his son, Thomas.
