From THE"NoRTH-CHINA Dany News"
or JANUARY 20, 1869
We hear that a foreigner in Hongkew., whose son was bitten on Sunday by à dog supposed to be mad, undertook an indiscriminate slaughter of the canine race, with his revolver. He did a good deal of execution, which was perhaps an advantage; but he unfortunately fired a spare shot one night, into the leg of a Canton tailor. Dr. Macgowan. who has been appointed by the Municipal Council to attend to such cases in Hongkew dressed the wound at the Police Station, and the man is going on all right. But it was a Slightly, reckless proceeding to attempt io. redress an imaginary grievance against dogs in general, in the dark.
