There were not many tears shed when
Leo died. A hole was dug in the yard and
he was covered over. Leo was the terror
of the saw factory at Front and Laurel
streets. He was big, shaggy Newfound-
land dog; stood nearly four feet in height,
and had Just enough black and white hair
to make him a fine looking canine. When
he was pup he entered the service of the
Disstons, and was educated as Watchdog
by Charles Alexander, who watched over
him for twenty years or so. In his early
6avs he was amiable, but as his life wore on
he became cross and sullen, and it was
necessary to keep him closely chained dur
ing the day 1t is about year since he
was found dead, but the memories of Leo
are revived because of his famous attack
upon Policeman Jarvis, who was stabbed
by the Rusk brothers. The dog was an
especial enemy of police officers and per-
sons who wore blue clothes and brass but
tons. Leo would stand behind the bars Of
the windows at night and howl and groWl
when an officer passed him In manner
that would cause cold chills to chase each
other down the officers spine. Every man
who was on tho 'beat" was warned to be
on the lookout for the dog. One day Jar
Wis attempted to be familiar with Leo. Such
conduct on the part of an officer was some
hing to be resented, land the Newfoundland
did so. When Jarvis turned his back to
move off Leo seized him by the seat of the
breeches and took good bite cut of him.
He followed up the attack by chewing the
officers leg, and only desisted after being
beaten with big club. 1t took over two
months for Jarvis wounds to heal.
The animal was a good monitor in the
factory, and if he found men outside of
their departments or loafng around he
would make savage rushes at them and
drive them to their labors. Strange as it
may seem, he never attempted to interfere
with man while at work. He had
special antipathy to the steel meters, and
woe betide any of these fellows whom he
caught any where in the shop except where
thew belonged. Leo knew them all land gave
them an attention not at all acceptable The
reason assigned for this is that when his
dogship was young some of the men, out
of spirit of deviltry, poured some molten
steel upon him nd burned him severely.
He caught two meters in the wareroom
one day, and there was lively time for
awhile At last he chased the men upon
some high counters, and kept them there
until the Waterman came and coaxed him
off.
At the time of the fire in the factory two
men jumped over the fence to see the
burning place before the 6remen arrived.
Leo was in the yard. and he went for the
| intruders with as much voracity as if they
were Juicy steaks. 1t is needless to say
that crowd of people who had intended
to follow the pair suddenly changed their
minds.
The cashier one evening was detained
after hours, and he went downstairs to
| leave in hurry. Leo was at the bottom
of the staircase and quickly OWNED that
the man had no business in the place after
hours. He made dash at the cashier, but
the latter fortunately picked up chair to
defend himself. The battle waged fercely
for some minutes. The chair was shat
tered in iiffy, and when the cashier was
left with but one piece of the broken arti-
Gle with which to defend himself assist
ance arrived. 1t was very opportune that
aid came, because Leo was good for two or
| three more rounds, while the cashier was
well nigh exhausted.
One of the funniest incidents of
his career was the manner in
which he captured a country custom
er. Leo was left in the wareroom during
dinner hour. He knew his business was to
watch the goods. The countryman stroll
cd in but did not see the dog. He knocked
his hat off by running against some goods
and stopped to pick it up. In a second
the dog made dash at the hat, and the
rustic concluded not to pick it up just then
He stood looking first at the hat and then
| at the dog. Leo backed off piece, and
looked at the hat then at the man with an
air of sauciness which seemed to mean:
! ''Pick it up if you dare" Every time the
man bent his back to get the hat the dog
stepped over it. At last the visitor
made up his mind to move out
and allow the dog to keep the hat. He
had observed Leo open his mouth and lick
his chops as if he we're getting ready to
take piece of countryman. The fellow
| backed toward the door, deliberately, keep
ing close watch on the dog. For every
step he took backward the canine made
one forward. At last the door was reached,
when the man grasped the knob, opened
the door quickly and shot out. just as he
did so Leo gave jump and growl. Then
he went and stood by the hat again. When
the employees returned the countryman re-
ceived his hat.
1t was for the above reasons that no
tears were dropped on Leo's grave.
