A Coon PRICK ron A BAD Doc
There was pretty much Of n crowd
near the foot of the Capitol, the other
day. and we joined it TO learn the cause
of the excitement. 1t appeared that
little boy was the owner 0. slender
looking dog. around whose neck bit
Of rope had been tied. A strange gen.
,leman, who was very drunk, happened
to spy the dog and entered into nego.
tiation for his purchase, the price agreed
upon bein. one dollar. The boy, in
good faith, gave up possession Of the
dog. but the strange gentleman was
abou, to stacccr off without forking over
the rhino. Upon this. the boy struck
up his pipes 'or good cry, and thus at
,racted crowd Of sympathizcrs. 1t
happened, however, lha, Mulloy, the
police officer was among them. aud he
forthwith captured the drunken man
and slender dog. At first the former
of these showed signs Of resistance. but
when he learned tha, it was limb OF
The law who had hold Of him, he came
70, and paid the dollar. and was forth
with liberated. The officer expressed
the opinion that man ought to be lie,
off after paying a dollar for such dog
and little boy said that the dos-vender
had dene pretty well, as he thought, fo'
