4 Fowl Murder,

II would be bard work TO give the best
dog in the country to Mr.. Farnell, the
versatile O,neyville correspondent Of the
Providence Telegram. He has "soured
on" CANNES and prefers almost any other
kind Of live stock II seems that tev-
eral months ago. an admrer of Mr.. Far
nell presented him with n bull pup Of
unLlemished ancestry. As the pup grew
gradually into dogship he developed an
appetite for cold chicken that, owing TO
neglect in training, soon became irresis-
tible. Mr.. f. S. Comstock, ncighbor,
had game cock, Of the purest Spanish
pedigree. that its proud owner consid-
cred worth AT least FIVE dollars. One day
last week the dog and the rooster
chanced 30 meet, and it proved sad day
for the rooster, for pile Of feathers and
spurs was soon all that was left Of him.
The proof was conclusive that Mr. Far
nelrs bull dog was the perpetrator Of the
fowl deed, and his owner purchased the
feathers at high rate per pound The
dog has disappeared from his customary
haunts and it is strongly suspected that
be has gone to join the rooster.
