was small pocket-knife, and the cuts

Screaming for aid tho little fellow
was borne to the ground Before help
reached him the dogs had bitten him IN
more than fifty places. They were
literally eating him alive when help
came and drove the brutes away. The
flesh was all eaten from one leg. The

Great Grain Blockades.

There are thousands of loaded grain
cars in Chicago, and there is absolutely
no place to unload them. Every ele-
vator is crammed to the caves. Few
of the shippers are inclined to pay
the rail rate, and a majority OF
the boats do not care to take grain at
any price The reason for the lack OF
lake transportion is that every elevator
from Toledo to Buffalo seems to be as
full as those in Chicago. Some OF the
shippers are compelled to hurry their
grain forward, but even by rail they
are meeting with stumbling blocks
One road refused $50 cars OF
grain because the shipper want
ed it routed over trunk line from
which no guarantee could be obtained
of prompt return of cars. Apparently
New York is as badly blocked as Chi
cago. Cars are being piled up in Chi
cago at rate which will soon make the
blockade of last year very insignlti
cant affair.
