4 Dog Digs Into q Grave.

LAST Friday Martin Flanagan, an Irishman
living four miles southeast of this city, died.
and was buried Saturday in the Catholic grave
yard, which lies in the northeastern part OF the
city, inside the city limits. Yesterday after
noon some parties, in going through the GENE
terry, noticed that the dirt of newly made
grave was torn up and scattered in every dr.
rection, which naturally aroused their curiosi-
ty and led them to investigate, expecting of
course to find the grave robbed by ghouls
Instead of this, imagine their horror to find
large dog in the grave endeavO-ing to
gnaw through the coffin box, and which
turned upon its intruders with cleaning eyes
and, growing ferociously, stood its ground.
nor could it be driven away. One of the par
ties procured shotgun and killed the beast,
which had no doubt been digging since the
casket was lowered into the grave. The occur
renee is so horribly revolt ing in its character
as to make the blood almost curdle in any
ones veins who looks at the disturbed grave
Had not the persons who discovered it acct
dentally wandered into that part Of the GENE
terry. without doubt the coffin would have
been torn open and the corpse horribly mutt
lated.-Columbus tFnd.J Special to Cincinnati

the Nfhilists will continue their work, and
warns the new Emperor to beware Of his
fathers fate.
