running rife over the strange secrecy which has
been maintained over the death and funeral OF
Mrs. Hopkins-Searle Mr.. Searles has re
manned within his handsome house and denied

been given not to sag anything. Cards sent in
by reporters are returned: the gate is guarded
by Constable Ingalls,. of the town. and two of
Mr.. Ssarles' employees. The cause OF Mrs.
SeaTleS' death was dropsy. which affected the
heart. The funeral services. which took place
Wednesday at IL o'clock, were conducted with
unnecessary secrecy. all this has given rise to
countless rumOrs and the recalling OF many
things which would doubtless have never other
wise received publicity.

NAPOLEON JACK,
The Famous Fighting Dog, Dead-His Pit
Record.

Inc ramOuS lShbinB OOSB Ooasu-hAS Il AZ
Record.
SAN Francisco, August 26.-Napo-
leon Jack, one of the greatest fighting
dogs of the world, died here at the home
of his owner, John P. Dalton, yester-
day. Napoleon was known in all coun-
tries where English is spoken, and he
visited Europe and all the principal
cities of the United States. Fighting
was his business, and he was without
peer in the pit. He was well attended
during his last days, and four veterin-
airy surgeons were in almost con-
slant attendance. A post norton
revealed he had been afflicted with four
assesses Of the liver.
Napoleon Jack was whelped March
II, 1879. He came it is claimed, from
fighting stock Of proved merit, his sire
being the great Crib, he by the English
dog. From his dam Jack Inherited
many OF the qualities that made him
the king of his period, for she was the
champion English bitch Rose, her dam
being the renowned Irish bitch Nellie.
Napoleon began his career at Pittsburg
when two years old, and though he
fought 30 battles he was never defeated.
He was then owned by P. NJ. Kirley.
His greatest fight was with the Cincin-
natl dog, Tiger, at New Orleans, In
which, after having both legs broken,
he secured throat hold and killed his
opponent. He whipped every dog he
met in England, and was finally brought
here, where he defeated two of the best
dogs of California.
The great dog was prize-winner
wherever exhibited, securing among
other testimonials the first prize at the
Worlds Fair in New Orleans in 1888.
He also took first premium at Pittsburg
in 1887, and five specials at the bench
show held in this city in 1891. E. Dal-
ton is having the remains stuffed, and
they are TO be sent to the New York
Museum, $500 having been paid for
them. Bids for the dogs remains were
received from the London and Boston
museums.
