ALL ABOUT A DOC,


Yesterday afternoon two of sGeorgetown's
young ladies got on an avenue car with pet
dog. Though no fare was paid for the canine,
his owner thought he was entitled to seat
and large portion of the bench was accord
insly taken possession OF. The conductor OBJ
jected but the ladies insisted. Finally the
knight OF the punch gently picked the four-
footed creature from his seat and deposited
him on the door. Thereupon the ladies be-
came wrathful. and after using some strictly
feminine but decided expressions about the
ungallantry Of the average conductor. stopped
and reseated Mr.. Pet Dog. Then the ungallant
knight, it is alleged. said something about the
impudence OF women, but the Objectionable
dog rode the balance Of the distance. Later a
brother of the ladies called on the conductor
and charged him with insulting unprote ted
girls. Fists and brake handles we're about to
be used, when friends interfered and the car
started on another trip.
