Early one morning recently after most Of

few operators were scattered around tho
operating-roOm Of the Western Union Build

his arms and legs were drawn up, and his

totally unaware of the dog-catcher's wagon,
which came rafting down the street at that
moment. Suddenly the fatal Iariat shot out,
but the dog lodged it and made bee line
for the man who handled 1t. Then ensued
an exciting chase, which was much enjoyed
by the populace in the vicinity
The dog-catcher is never very popular
with people in general. In this instance he
succeeded in clambering into his wagon
minus his cOat-tais.
A skirmish then ensued, whic h ended In
the temporary triumph Of The dog, who re-
tired to reDOSe on his laurels. The dog
catcher came back from ign0minious flight
few minutes later, however, and human
ingenuity soon triumphed over brute cour-
age. The dog was laSSoed and taken to the
pound with other unfoTtunates.
But here the innate sense of Justice in
man steps in to even up things. Several
admiring citizens had viewed the actions of
the dog, and when he was carried away
they took up a subscription, sent out 10 the
pound, reasoned the animal aud provided
him with a home.
