List of Invasion Attacks
These are attacks where the dog invades a home, place of business, occupied building or securely enclosed yard expressly to attack. Attacks in which the pit bull pulls another animal through their fence in an attempt to kill them are also considered invasion attacks. Invasion attacks by dogs other than pit bulls are virtually non-existent.

Urbana - A valuable Shepherd dog belonging to William Manning was attacked by a bull dog on Market street Wednesday evening, and it was up to a police officer to appear on the scene with his revolver to end the fray.
The Shepherd dog was badly chewed up, and to cap the climax a heartless driver ran over the struggling animals with his wagon. The Manning dog was shot to end its misery.

Nov 10, 1905 Urbana: Loose Bull Dogs Fight Each Other on Downtown Street
-----------
Here is a Job For the Urbana Police
----------
Urbana - The wrong of letting bulldogs run upon downtown streets unless they are properly chained was again exemplified Friday morning by a repulsive fight between two great dogs of the bull variety, corner Main and Market streets. The vicious animals both had a death grip on each other and it was a difficult task to separate them. This was not a nice exhibition by any means on the downtown corner.
If we are not mistaken there is a city ordinance making the owner of a vicious dog responsible for allowing the animal to run unchained upon the streets, where it may attack smaller and less harmless (sic) dogs, and perhaps kill them. Bulldogs have no business running loose in the business portion and it is the duty of the police to see that whatever law exists regarding this matter is rigidly enforced. That bulldog fight should awaken the officers to the fact that their vigilance is needed in this line.
