WOMEN BADLY FRIGHTENED. Wild Animal Snarls and Snaps at Pedestrians, but Is Finally Killed. During the rush hour between 7 and 8 o'clock this morning, when the cars of the Crosstown line from Greenpoint to the transfer station at Bedford avenue and Broadway were jammed, a dog with all the symptoms of rabies terrified the passengers in Bedford avenue, between South Second and South Fourth streets.

The dog, a large black mongrel, first showed himself at South. Second street, where he tried to, enter a grocery stores but the proprietor shut the front door. The animal then shambled into the roadway. It was frothing and snarling, when a car of the Crosstown line approached, the dog followed it to South Third street, yelping wildly. Passengers on the side where the dog was running along, fearing that the animal might jump on the running board, became terrified, and while some got up on the seats others made their way to the opposite side of the car.

Meanwhile the motorman put on full speed and the passengers became quieter as the dog was left behind. By this time a large crowd of fideople was watching the animal from all The dog ran along the sidewalk, and in front of the Dakota apartment house, adjoining the Bedford Avenue Pentacostal Tabernacle Church, at the corner of South Third street, he ran for three young women who were coming out of the building. They saw the dog approaching, and with screams of terror they ran back into the hall and quickly closed the door. The dog made an attack on another crosstown car and caused terror among the passengers. A number of women who were waiting to board the car at South Fourth street became terrified as the animal came toward them and they ran with all their might in the direction of Broadway.

Then the dog, still frothing and snarling, ran around in a circle in the roadway and finally, seemingly from exhaustion, fell between the car tracks near South Fourth street. He arose when the next car came along and the motorman, not knowing what the trouble was, stopped the car to give the dog a chance to get off the track. When the dog made an- attack on the car, the motorman discovered what the trouble. was and the passengers, like those in the previous cars, became terrified, and some of them jumped from the car. The car passed on and the dog next ran towards a butcher shop, but the butcher closed the door, and before the animal could do any further exploits, a man sneaked up.

behind him and dealt him a blow on the head with a stick. blow staggered the brute, but in a few moments it was up again and turned -into South Fourth street, going in the direction of Berry street. When half way down, it sank to the pavement. It tried several fimes to get up and seemed to be dying. A policeman appeared at this moment and ended the dog's life with a bullet.
