Vicious Bulldogs In New Jersey<\/strong>

\nA Girl Fatally Bitten<\/a> and a Man’s Hand Badly Lacerated
\n——-
\nRutherford, N.J., Feb. 26 – Maggie Gorman, six years old, while playing in the kitchen of her father’s house, at Kingsland, this morning, was attacked by two bulldogs belonging to Martin Hogan, a neighbor. The girl was unable to protect herself, and was horribly bitten, her flesh being torn from the bones in many places. She was brought to Rutherford for medical treatment, but the doctors give no hope for her recovery. The dogs got away from their owner’s premises, and entered the Gorman house through an open window in the kitchen. – New York Times<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
