Jack, The Pet Javelin.

Jack was found in the woods near
Lyle Station, on the International,
south of San Antonio, by Mr. Y. NJ.
Mcdaniel. some time last summer. and
presented by that gentleman to Mr.. E.
). Bellamy, agent for the international
at that station. 1t was supposed to be
about three weeks old when caught. l
will keep You in suspense no longer;
the Hon. Jack is neither more nor less
than A ~javelin or young wild hog. Mr..
Bellamv had the curiosity and the pa
tiencc to try his training skill on him,
and on application he found him an apt
scholar. He ~persevered, and at the end
of one month not only was he an eff
cient body guard by day, but a faithful
sentinel by night. Nr. Gellamy is a
very active and accommodating gentle
man. and has been Il long time in the
company's employ, yet in his varied
duties YOU will find Jack at his heels,
and he viii allow no n to come be-
tween him and his body.
When seated at the desk he lies down
at Mr.. BIS feet, and will allow no one
to touch him. At night Jack follows
Mr.. b. to his bedside, and if he cannot
manage by stealth or otherw Sc to get
into the bed, he will lie down beside the
bed and there remain quiet until morn
ing, unless some intruder enters the
room, when he will dart at him with all
the ferocity of his wild nature. Few
who intrude on him unwittingly once
never wish to try their hand a second
time. yet if not mo!ested he is perfectly
gentle. At the table he stands at his
masters side and receives a portion of
anything he eats, and he is not particu-
lar what il is. He is a veritable tip
pier, and likes his whisky and beer and
any other strong drink. After drink
ing whisky he will smack his lips and
give Signs for more Any person who
has ever seen a javelin can imagine
what a graceful figure he cuts with his
unshapely body with the whisky glass
in his mouth.
But a short time ago three coyotes
came on the platform at the station in
the middle of the night. Jack jumped
up and stood between his master and
the coyotes, ard kept them at bay until
one of the transportation men woke up
and asked what was the matter. Mr..
b. said it was only coyotes; that Jack
would take care of them. and rolled
over AMI went to sleep again One day
later Jack got up into the bed beside
the baby. He licked its face and then
laid down beside it and kept the flies

most important thing that strikes the
observer is the strong attachment he has
for his masters San Ant0nid (Tex.)

A Dog Who Died from Remorse.

A remarkable instance of the effect
that can be produced upon a dog by the
human voice was related to me yester-
day. Some of your CORRESPONDENTS
would consider it contirmatory of their
notion that dogs have mind enough to
understand words; but l myself rather
believe that the sound of the voice acts
upon the feelings of dumb animals just
as instrumental music acts upon US.
The story is as follows: A clergyman
had for a long time a dog. and no other
domestic animal. He and his servant
made a great pet Of the dog. At last,
however, the clergyman took to keep
ing a few fowls. and the servant fed
them. The dog showed himself very
Jealous and put of humor at this, and
when Sunday came round and he was
left alone he took the opportunity to
kill and bury two hens. A claw half
uncovered betrayed what he had done.
His master did not beat him, but took
hold of him and talked to him most
bitterly, most severely. you've been
guilty of the sin of murder, strand on
the Sabbath day, too; and you, a
clergyman's dog, taking a mean adj
vantage of my absence!!" etc. He talked
on and on for a long time, in the same
serious and reproachful strain. Early
the next morning the master had to leave
home for a day or so; and he did SO
without speaking a word of kindness to
the dog. because he said he wished him
to feel himself in disgrace. On his re-
turn the first thing he was told was:
THE dog is dead. He never ate nor
drank after you had spoken to him; he
just lay and pinned away, and he died
an hour ago.. G.. Giium, in Lon
don Spectator.
Fifteen years ago Horace Greeley
was ridiculed because he said he had
seer a herd of buffaloes fifteen miles
long and half that distance wide. Yet
this was comparatively a small herd.
On the Upper Missouri they were seen
a dozen years ago blackening the coun-
try for scores of miles in every direc-
ton. To-day a buffalo is very rarely
found even in Dakota. They have
been cooped up in the northern corner
of Montana. and even there will soon
become extinct unless speedy action.is

Considerable excitement was occa-
stoned among the crowd of men as
sembled on Gilchrist's wharf last
Thursday. A man had just come off
the steamer Flora carrying a child.
Suddenly woman rushed after him,
and seized the child by the neck, and
endeavored to get possession of it.
After some trouble the man rslin-
quished his hold OH the child, and
succeeded in getting the woman back
on board the steamer. The woman
was very violent in her actions, and
the man called for assistance, saying
she was insane. Investigation showed
that the woman was Mrs. Geo. Four
nier, who was returning to town with
her husband and children. She had
lived in Alpena previously, but the
past winter had been with her father
at Detroit. 1t was thought that she
had recovered from her insanity,
which was of the jealousy type. On
her arrival here, she seemed to enter
tain the belief that her children were
being taken from her, and this occa-
stoned the scene on the wharf. Her
husband was advised to get an officer
to assist in getting the woman home.
The city marshal came and another
scene ensued. The woman was so
violent, that she had to be manacled,
and it took two persons to get the
woman off the boat, and into car
riage. Although but of slight build,
yet she had the strength of man.
The woman was managed as carefully
as was possible. The officers on the
steamer were not aware that anything
was wrong with the woman until the
scene on the wharf occurred. BY or
ders of Judge of Probate, Geo. S.
Lester, an examination was made of
the woman by DR.. Geo. II. Shelton
and DR.. A. Wilkinson and she was
judged insane, and will be removed
to the asylum.

Second street. This caused the other
team TO follow suit, and the two heavy
teams with their lumber wagons at
tached, began an exciting race down
the street. One team collided with
post near the Congregational church,
and left the hind part of the wagon
to mark the spot. The other team
kept to the southern part of the
street and just grazed the express
horse of VIM. Gavigan which was
standing in front of his meat market.
A little further down the street was
the express horses of the Holmes
Brothers, standing in front of the
grocery store of that firm. The run
away team ran right into the express
team, throwing the express horses
over on their backs. One of the ex-
press horses was struck in the breast
with the end of the wagon tongue
and terribly wounded-the wagon
tongue entering the horses breast sew
eral inches. The express wagon and
the lumber wagon were both consid-
erably wrecked. The runaways then
continued down the street until near
Monaghan's store, when one of the
teams got on the sidewalk. On the
sidewalk were many pedestrians,
boxes, signs, ETC., but fortunately no
damage was done except the break
ing Of few planks in the walk by
the terrified horses as they went at
full speed. At the corner of Second
and River streets was one Of the old
city lamp posts. The runaways made
a dash for that post and easily de-
molished it. They then ran as far as
the Bank block where they were stop
ped. How the team managed to
travel along the sidewalk without do
ing considerable damage, is some
what wonderful, as the sidewalk, at
that place, is generally crowded with
citizens, and owing to the signs, boxes
and goods deposited at the sides, there
was just about room for team to
pass along.

Contest for n Dam.

To get the logs out of Hubbard
Lake during low water it was neces-
sary to build dam near the outlet of
the lake. This dam was built by
Robert Rayburn six years ago, on
land leased from Mr.. Mason, of the
Mason Lumber Co., for ten years.
Mr.. Rayburn engaged Henry SIM
mons to look after the dam for him,
and leased the man a house and a
small piece of land near the dam.
The rent paid by Mr.. Rayburn was
from $500 to 800 per year, according
to the profits of the dam. After Mr..
Mason's death, a suit was commenced
against Mr.. Rayburn to dispossess
him of his right to the dam, a claim
being made that he had violated his
right by leasing a portion of the dam,
and his contract specifying that he
should not lease the dam. Mr.. Ray
burn claims that he has not violated
his contract, as he merely rented a
house and a piece of land TO the man
he had engaged to look after the dam.
This suit is now before the court for
trial.
Not long ago the dam keeper was
in this city, and the Mason Lumber
Co. sent up several men to take pos
session of the house. Mrs. Simmons
was in the house, but the men got
possession of the building and moved
Simmons goods out. Action was
commenced against the men as tres
passers, and they were arrested by the
Altoona sheriff. The Mason Lumber
Co. Immediately placed some more of
their agents in the house, but they
were also arrested, and the house and
dam again came in charge of Mr..
Rayburn. The trial Of the men ar
rested has not yet been decided by
the Altoona court, and in the mean
time Mr. Rayburn commenced crimi-
nal action against the parties who dis
possessed him, before Justice Melon
aid, of this city, which suit is yet
pending. At date Mr.. Rayburn holds
the fort, and some very interesting
litigation will be the result Of the
fight to obtain possession of the dam.
We are assured that the above is a
correct statement of the case in short.
Mr.. Rayburn states that the 500
charged him for rent, was more than
the Mason Lumber Co. was fairly en-
titled to.
The dam in question, besides aiding
in getting logs out of Hubbard Lake,
and furnishing floods to drive the
logs on the Lower South Branch, is
also of use to supply the dam at this
city with water, when the water in
the city dam is low, and is needed to
furnish the extra water needed by the
city water and electric light compan.
les to drive their pumps and electrical
engines. The revenues Of the dam
are derived from furnishing water for
the purposes aforesaid.
