The dog that accompanied James

marshes, is very dangerous place

On "Wednesday morning following the
disappearance of young Richardson.
Mr.. Damon, who lives on the San Lean
drO marshes, heard the long drawn howl
of dog OH the marsh. For while MIR.
Damon thought nothing whOteyer about
the matter. until the hOwling was kent
up at intervals, when he went out 10 in

Following up the sound. he found a
valuable bird dog lying OH the edge of
dangerous bit of marsh land, where
several quicksands are known to be.
The dog was watching the marsh and
bowling. He was nearly dead from
cold and lack of food. Mr.. Damon took
him home, thinking that he was lost
dog of a hunter, and the next day he
was sent TO San Francisco, where yes
terday he was recognized as the dog
that accompanied Richardson on his
last hunting expedition. There is little
hope that the boy is alive. The father

lad at that time four young puppies.
The night we arrived we visited his
camp and were greatly interested in
the little mother and her nursing babies.
At dark the assistant herder came TO
say that there was twenty more sheen
missing. Two male dogs, both larger
than the little mother, were standing
about doing nothing. But the herder
said neither Tom nor Dick would find
them; Flora must go.
1t was urged by the assistant that her
foot was sore, that she had been hard at
work all day, was nearly worn out, and
must feed her puppies. The boss in
sisted that she must go. The sun was
setting. There was no time to lose.
Flora was called and told to hunt for the
lost sheep, while her master pointed to
a great forest through the edges of
which they had passed on their way up.
She raised her head, but seemed very
loath TO leave her babies. The boss
called sharply to her. She rose, look
ing tired and low-spirited, with her head
and tail down, and trotted wearily off
toward the forest. / said:
''1'lat is too bad!'
''oh. she'll be right back. She's
lightning on stray sheep"
The next morning L went over to
learn whether Flora found the Strays.
While we were speaking the sheep were
returning, driven by the little dog, who
did not raise her head nor wag her tail,
even when spoken to, but crawled to
her puppies and laid down by them.
She had been away all night, and while

and drive home with him.
Since the return of the dog all hope

tnat the faithful animal saw the boy

Reducing THIS claim to American
money. transferring it to John B. Saal-
man for convenience in suing in New
York court, and adding the interest and
cost up to Jan. II, 1886, when Judgment
was recovered against Mr.. Wall, the
sum grew up to s344.19. The sheriff
has returned the papers, and there is
not any evidence Oh record that the
Judgment has been satisfied.
In this instance was Mr. Wall served
with the papers at the New York club,
at Twentyeighth street and Broadway.
Mr.. Wall did not return from that
special trip to England with the limited
addition to his wardrobe which is rep
resented by the bill of Whitaker q co.
April Z, 1884. he applied to Charles
B. Bingley, who now carries on the
business founded by the famous Poole,
and who is known in business circles as
Henry Poole & Co. Representing to
Mr.. Bingley that he needed some new
clothes, Mr.. Wall procured without
paying for them) the following trifles:

This trifling invoice of garments. ey-

insufficient to carry Mr.. Wall through
the ensuing winter, even with the ad-

Whitaker, so on Jan. n, 1885. he called
again on Mr.. Bingley and procured a
few more things, which Henry Poole d

Mr.. Bingley's bill, with the unearned
increment which naturally attaches to
tradesmen'S accounts when they get
into court, amounts to S7O6. He also
sought the city court, and the deputy
sheriff this time caught Mr. Wall ON the
southeast corner OF Broadway and
Twenty-siXth street. Judgment was
taken for the full amount on March Is.
1856. and still remains on record.
Away back of that, however, the
court records show that Mr.. Wall had
found it difficult to make both ends
meet. He was fer time in the habit of
buying his silk embroidered night shirts
and such other odds and ends as befit
royal state from one Samuel Budd,
haberdasher. of No. ll0i Broadway, and
despite the manful struggles which he
made to keep expenses down and to
meet his obligations, Mr. Budd found mt

which Mr.. Wall was unable 10 iiqaiate.
With costs this balance is now S179.S.
