A Faithful New fOundland.

Virginia City, New, "Enterprise": About
three weeks ago John r. Bradshaw Of
Markleyville, in the sierras, was killed by q
falling tree and was buried on his ranch.
His faithful Newfoundland dog watched all
that transpired from the time his master
was killed until placed in the grave. Since
the funeral he has dug down to the coffin
three times, once breaking his chain to 60
to the grave. The coffin was finally taken
out of the grave and opened. The dog
seemed then to understand that his master
was indeed dead. He ran bowling to the
woods and has since refused food, but no
longer digs at the grave.
