RABIDJGSCARE
Search Fails to Disclose
Others Bitten by Dis
eased Animal. *
No quarantine will be established
in the Takoma Park area, where
three persons were bitten by a dog
which developed rabies, Washington
and Maryland health officials said
today.
In neither the District nor across
the Maryland line' have investigators
found other Individuals or dogs bitten
by the animal, authorities said, but
they urged pet owners to keep their
animals indoors.
District Health Offloer George C.
Ruhland and Montgomery County
Health Officer V. L. Elllcott declared
there was "no cause for alarm,” while
the three victims of a rabies-infected
bulldog were receiving the Pasteur
treatment from a private physician.
A warning to dog owners was issued
yesterday by Dr. Ruhland when he
learned that the mad dog, owned by
Mrs. Frances Chapman, 31 Grant
avenue, Takoma Park, Md., had been
executed by a veterinarian on sus
picion of rabies. Subsequent exam
ination of the animal’s body at the
Bureau of Animal Industry of the
Department of Agriculture confirmed
the suspicion.
The animal had bitten Mrs. Chap
man, her husband, W. D. Chapman,
and the couple's landlady, Mrs. Doro
thea Fenwick. The dog was brought
here from Texas several weeks ago.
Wille District and Maryland health
officials began a survey of the area,
Poundmaster Frank Marks was ordered
to pick up all stray dogs In the neigh
borhood.
