Some time ago ex.Judge Troy Of
Brooklyn became the possessor of the
Siberian bloodhound "Satan," known
to sporting men throughout the ooun-
try as y terrible fighter. But the dog
was SO trescherous in his disposition
that ex-Judge Troy turned him over to
a clerk in his office, Mr.. L. Herring,
who, having been an athletic performer
in number Of circuses, had become ac-
customed to entering the cages Of wild
beasts, under the instructions Of num-
Der Of animal trainers.
Mr.. Haering agreed to take the dog to
his fathers premises in Atlantic, near
Alabama Avenue, East New York, pro-
vidipg that sx-Judgs Troy would pay
for the animals keeping. Mr.. Troy
willingly consented to this, and cage
ten feet long, Z feet wide, and 10 feet
high was constructed in Mr.. Hearings
garden, and "Satan" was placed in it..
One Wednesday, two or three weeks
ago, "Satan" began to howl as was
his custom when he wanted food or wa
ter, Hseripg went into the CAMDEN to
feed the dog, accompanied by half a
dozen persons, curious to see the brute.
After giving the dog meat, Haering
procured some water, stepped with it
into the cage, and then bolted the cage
on the outside. He usually went into
the cage to feed the animal, and always
on such occasions carried heavy, load
ed riding whip. On this occasion he
had neglected 70 take the whip with
him. Hasring set the pan Of water on
the floor, but the dog seemed disin-
clined to drink, refused to be patted,
and walked restlessly up and down the
cage.
Haering saw that "Satan" was in
one Of his worst humors, and turned to
20 out of the cage. He had no sooner
turned his back than the animal
sprang upon him. Hasring threw him.
self to one side, but the deg's paws
struck him on the shoulder, and dog
and man fell to the floor togsther.-
Haering sprang quickly to his feet, and
the dog jumped at him and sunk his
teeth into the mans right arm. Hasr.
ing as quick as lightning, pitched the
dog over on his back, and was just
going to jump on his paws as the brute
recovered himself and sprang for Haer.
ing's throat. With one hand Haerine
grasped the dogs leg, and with the
other caught him by the upper eyelid,
and did not let go his hold until he
had torn the animals scalp to the
back of the head. The dog fell back
with Haering on top. Both got theil
feet, and Haering sprang for the gate
Of the cage.
The dog dashed at him again, and
Haering clinched the brute and tried
to set his teeth into his shaggy neck
He failed, but caught the dogs ear with
his teeth, and held on until he had
cut It off, and then he hurled the brute
to the floor and fell himself.
The dog rushed at Haering again as
he was getting up, and bit him in the
left hand. Haering thrust his hand
into the brute's throat, and tried tt
smother him. In the struggle both fell
again, and the dog lacerated Hearings
left hand.
"Unbolt the gate quick |" shouted
Haering to the men who were standing
fifty feet away, but no one dared come
to therescue.
Haering then threw himself on the
dog and set his teeth into bis throat,
and at the same time grasped the dog
by the upper jaw with his right hand,
pressing down the lower jaw with bis
left arm until the flesh at the sides ol
the dogs mouth was torn by the strain.
Dog and man struggled about the cage
for at least five minutes. At last they

ing his teeth fixed in the animals neck,
lifted him up and pinned him against
the side Of ths cage.

ed the door Of the cage, and got outside
at the same time drawing the dogs
head through and ,osing the gate on
his neck. Then he pressed upon the
gate with all his might. He held the
dog in this way until he felt his
strength failing, and then letting 60
the dogs neck with his teeth, he open

kick knocked the dog inside, and clos

l Both Haering and the dog were Gov
cred with blood. Haering's lacerated
hand bled fast, and blood was running
from the brute's throat. DR.. Allen was
sent for, and he dressed Haering' g
wounds. Four Of the veins in his hand
we're found to have been torn, and
they have begun to bleed afresh twice
since they were dressed. Haering had
