BILLY SMITH BADLY BITTEN
BY THREE DOGS WHILE OIT
G OR 7 MILES, SKIING
Young Billy Smith, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Leonard Smith, was
severly mauled and bitten by a
pack of dogs Saturday morning
near the Dexter Creek ditch
camp of the U. S. Smelting Re
fining and Mining Co., about six
or seven miles from town.
The boy was out skiing, and, as
the story was told, was going by
tile ditch camp, located on the
road, when a loose dog in a team
tied nearby, jumped him. Two
other dogs were said to have
broken loose and joined the first
one.
They got the boy down, and al
though he fought desperately to
prevent them from attacking him
soon had him on the ground. He
bravely protected his face and
throat with his arms, while the
dogs fought and bit his legs.
They tried to get at his face
and throat, and in so doing man
aged to bite and tear his arms
quite a bit.
The native owners, and anoth
er man, working nearby ran up
quickly ad drove the dogs away,
the native hooked up his team
and started for town. Near the
landing field he met Henry Mil
ler in the Wien Airlines truck,
who brought the boy to the hos
pital.
Dr. Thomas Morcom immediate
iv commenced the job of sewing
up the many lacerations and
wounds, taking about two hours.
It was said about forty stitches
were taken in his arms and legs.
A U. S. Marshal contacted the
native owner and had the three
offending dogs killed.
The boy is now resting easily
at the Maynard CoLunibus Hospit
al.
