DOGS TWENTY-FIVE ARREST.
A Faithful and Active Member OF
the New York Police
Force.
New York Tribune

New York Tribune
A large black mastiff made the &C
quaintance of Policeman Trass on
Avenue on a stormy night about three
years ago. The dog was hungry and
the policeman fed him. After that
night the dog visited the officer on his
post regularly, and gradually extend
ed his acquaintance with members of
the force. In time the Fifth street
police station became his home, and
he VS. named Policeman Jack"
Among his warmest friends are Cap
tain McCullagh and Sergeant Welsing.
Jack spends most of his time in their
company. except at night, when he
patrols the precinct, rain or shine.
Many of the patrolmen have found
him a ready helper in running down
escaping thieves and ruffians, and for
such services the dog is credited on
the books of the precinct with having
made twenty-five arrests. Not long
ago Policeman Fisher saw thieves at
tempting to rob a drunken man, and
started to arrest them. They fed
and Fisher gave an alarm rap as he
pursued. Suddenly Jack rushed past
him, sprang upon the back of one of
the thieves, and, fastening his teeth
in the mans collar, forced him to the
ground in a moment. The other thief
surrendered, and both prisoners were
marched to the police station.
Sergeant Welsing says that a few
months ago Jack captured a burglar
in the rooms of Frederick Bockel, in
East Eleventh street. Bockel was
asleep when the thieves walked into
the house and opened the door of his
bed-chamber. They were throwing
some clothing out of front window
when Jack passed along the street.
The dog barked so loudly that BOckel
was awakened. The robbers attacked
Bockel, but Jack rushed in and help
ed capture one of them The prison
er in that case was sent to prison for
ten years. An ex-policeman secretly
took Jack to barn In an annexed
district last winter and matched him
to fight against bulldog. He won
the fight. On another occasion the
dog was made drunk on beer which
was poured down his throat by some
brewery men = One hundred and
Seventeenth street, but although I'M

BACK FROM THE ieRAvE.
A Man Supposed to Have Been
Dead for Twenty Year Turns
Up in Mexico.

81 am going to Mexico to see my
father, who We have believed to be
dead for twenty years." said a fine
appearing young man of 35 to-day.
1.-The news that he is alive was a
complete surprise, and not a very
pleasant one to my mother, who was
married to her present husband in
1864"
Where is your father?"
Gin Mexico. He is rich, and has
sent for me. He thinks he can't live
a great while longer, aud is anxious
to see me before he dies. You see
father was always restless, but in
some way he always managed to
make money. In 1850 he went to
California for a few months. He re-
turned to California in 1854. Mother
heard from him many times during
the next four months. He sent her
money quite freely. In 1856 he sent
her 81 900. She wanted to move to
California, but he objected. He said
the country was TOO rough for a
woman. In 1856 he sent mother
$4,000, and that was the last she
heard from him until recently, when
he wrote TO me. ALI that we could
discover was that he started on a long
mining trip-prospecting, you know
and was never again heard from.
Mother received a letter from the
mayor of San Francisco In 1860, say
ing that there could be no doubt of
fathers death In 1864 mother mar
ried second time, and few years
later We removed to this state. One
mystery is now explained. Some
years ago, when / was about to he
married, received by mail United
States bond of quite high figure,
and have since several times lad
money sent me. When father wrote
me he sent me draf for $50 TO pay
nv expenses. He is about 20, and
writes that he is very sick"
did he mention your mother in
bis letter."
"No; but | bear message to him
from her. 1t is only this: "Tell him
| forgive him. l don't pretend to
know what he left for. If live to
get back I'll tell you, that is if you
