OLD DOC JACK IS DEAD.-For years past
a black and tan dog, above the ordinary
height of that breed, resOrted in the old
police station, at the corner of st. Charles
lice company agreeable. He would occa-
sionally receive unkind kicks, but usually
was treated tenderly. Day and night he
LACED away the time about the building,
seldom leaving the neighborhood except to
accompany an officer to his beat, or to trOt
of for something to eat. Jack was choice
in selecting boarding houses, and made his
na.ly. something offended him at the sta
ton house, and he changed quarters. A.
T. Turner (rest his soul in everlasting
peace) then took charge of the animal, for
Jack knew no owner, and the two were
almost ioseparable. Poor Turner's health
declined, and he made trip up Red river,
never TO return alive.
Jack was told that his master was dead,
and from that time has been mOr0se, only
wagging his tail when a morsel of food was
tarswn to him. And after that he made
Bob Strong's house his home, and ali
who knew the CANNES sorrow greeted him
kindly. Bob would not permit him to be
abused, and P. G. did not sleep sOundly IN
less he knew that Jack had been properly
cared for. Lately the poor beast lost his
hearing and mOped about as if waiting fol
Death; his ambition was gone, and he was
the mos: demure looking dog that ever
picked bone. No one knew how old he
was. bus il is certain that old age was mo-
the cause of his death Many men firmly
believe that Jack so mourned Turner
death as to bring his own lite to a close
Mr. Strong yesterday learned OF Jack
death, aud caused the body to be buried
under weeping willow. Few dogs evel
lived with so many friends and received
such gentle treatment, and he earned az Ut
got. for his conduct was more decorous thar
that of many men.
In 1864 Jack was an enrolled member o
Columbia No. 5, and seldom missed Q tire
firing of that kind of life, he made friend
with Frank Grace, in the first police station
in 1865. and nearly year never missed
roll call. After Grace's death he took I
dislike to police life, and made Murphy
Hotel his headquarters, as the lunch Their
was bountiiul. The hotel closed, and Jacl
found safe refuge in the St. Charles The
atre, where he slept contentedly lonI
time. Instinct teaching him that he wa
about to die, he yesterday found his wa:
into that establishment and turned up 81
toes. having lived useful life. All VIII
knew Jack know that there was somethin
more than dog in his nature.
