A Fine Dog.

San Antonio is getting to be quite
exquisite on the dog question. We
have always had more dogs to the
square inch than even Con stantinople,
but none have been of very fine
breeds. Lately, gentlemen are paying
more attention to the blood of their
pets and now there are many really
fine blooded and costly dogs in the
city. The latest acquisition in the fine
dog possessions of the city is one re-
ceived by Mr.. e. B. Mullaly yesterday
from the kennels at Menominee, Wis
consin. 1t is six months st. Ber-
nard pup of the smooth-coated family,
and is very large, standing two feet,
one inch high and weighing about rs
pounds. Canto came by express and
stood the trip well. He has pedigree
that reaches back to the Swiss Hos
pital in Switzerland and has a head
that certainly goes far to prove it. His
cost laid down in San Antonio was
Sis.

by remaining out there SO long,"
said Mr.. West; "and she answered
that she didn't know anyone in
town. asked her to come up to
the house with me and she did so.
The folks took charge of her. She
was given good supper and at bed
time she retired and slept until
Saturday, when we gave her break
fast. Mr.. West verified the girls
story as given above.
WANTED AT KANSAS CITY.
Chief Lane Friday received a
telegram from the police au-
thorities of Kansas City to look
out for the girl. Lane looked her
up at once and finding her in the
safe hands of the West house
hold, let her rest until Saturday
He brought her down to his
home about nine O'Clock, where
she now Is. Atnoon Mr.. Lane got
another telegram frem Kansas
City, asking if the girl could be sent
back without being accompanied by
an officer. Mr.. Lane answered
that she dld not want to return,
but if the necessary money was
sent he would start her back.
Ethel, or Matte, is a very sweet
looking little girl. Her manner is
modest, and from her deep blue
eyes she sends out winning glances
that at once impress one with be-
lief in her innocence and purity.
Among other ladies, Mrs. Lane has
expressed a willingness and desire
to adopt the little girl if her Kan
sas City friends can be induced 10
give her up.
A telegram received late Satur-
day indicates that the little
girl will remain here, the adopted
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Lane.
The Kansas City people seem
willing to let her go.
The following from the Kansas
City Journal of Saturday in
dicates that Miss Brown, young
and innocent as she is, knows more
than she is given credit for:
May Harmon, aged nearly IL
years, left her home, No. 1927
Campbell street, at 4 O'Clock
Thursday evening to 60 to gro
Gerry store a few doors distant.
She did not return. A loaf of
bread which she had purchased she
gave to little boy and requested
him to deliver it at her residence.
She then went TO the Union depot.
After being there a few moments
she began crying, and when some
of the depot officials and others
asked her the cause of her griefshe
said she was going to Mexico, No.,
and had lost her ticket. She was
given another ticket and left for
Mexico shortly afterward. Her
foster mother yesterday informed
the police of the girls disappear
ance and the investigation institu-
ted by Chief Speers resulted in as
certaining the facts given. A tele-
gram was sent to the city marshal
of Mexico yesterday evening re-
guessing him to locate the runaway
and detain her until Mrs. Harmon
can reach that city. The girl was
adopted by Mrs. Harmon when she
was 3 years of age. Her name was,
prior to adoption, Lillian May Rlas
ton. She has relative '.s.ag in
Mexico and ChiiHcr' No.
