THE CANINE wHARFINGER.
A DOG Who Lands Steamers and Is al
Home on Board.

hOIuS on DoobNs
An old-time character, well-known upon
the water front. has made his appearance
again after an absence of two years, and
has been warmly welcomed by old friends
and has been enjoying his old habits or
catching the heaving lines of steamers as
they land and helping to pull them ashore.
and even dancing joyfully about as
familiar steamer heaves into sight His
name is Tough" II is the only name Ne
ever had and while he Is only a white bull
dog, he has often appeared TO have the
intelligence of a man.
Tough. who is five years old, has his
tory which. If written in detail. would
fill several books He once carried on
three months fight with a game rooster
on the dock, having a set battle every
day, each using the latest improved meth
DDS of sparring peculiar to their breed,
and hundreds OF people would collect
every day to see the sport. Neither re-
ceived much the worst OF 1t, nor was in
clined to quit till II. ". Baker, Tough's
owner. withdrew him from the contest to
allow the hide to grow again upon his
head and forequarters.
The joy of his life is to assist in the
landing OF steamers. One very windy
day when the steamer State OF Washing
ton was trying to make landing, no
line had been gotten ashore and the
on TO the shore against the railroad trestle
and several valuable yachts and boats
were lying in the way. Every enc was
excited and II seemed to be case OF sew
eraI hundred or thousand dollars loss.
when a man In the extreme bow made a
last attempt with line. and the end OF IL
barely struck the wharf, but not a second
before Tough had the rope In his teeth.
and in twenty minutes more the State of
II. sv,r s,,, fa4lx nj nd n
damage done. He knows each steamer by
its whistle. and II. as he lies down in the
shade, a steamer comes in which does mot
land at his dock he never takes a step.
but no sooner does he hear the familiar
whistle OF boat bound for his wharf
than he is out and after the stem line In
an instant. When the State OF Washing
ton ceased landing at his wharf and pass
ed on by. he was threatened with deiir-
ium for time.
Tough has many friends in Tacoma and
goes over on the Flyer to see them oc
casionally. Some months since he was
on board tea ship and when the sling
rope from the hoisting engine was being
lowered into the hold, he made leap
for 1t. but fell forty-ffve feet, nearly kill
ing man, and was himself at once taken
to the hospital and placed in charge of a
physician. In landing steamer he al
ways goes first for the stem line, then the
spring and then the stern.
Tough appeared on the wharf a few
evenings since without the latest style of
collar on. and perhaps not any, and the
6og-catcher nearly caused a riot among
water front people by slipping a sIip-noose
on his neck and trying to drag him away
A compromise was finally effected be-
tween the officer and the crowd by the
former agreeing to tie hard knot and to
feed his distinguished guest we'll over
night.

LOTTERY MEN ARE AT BAY.
VIII Raise Several Legal Points and
Attack the Charter.

The trial Of John Meagher and w. W.
Gilman. together with lesser lights in
the canal lottery scheme. was continued
in the municipal court yesterday after
noon by stipulation until next Wednes-
day afternoon at $50 O'Clock.
IL appears that there is TO be hard
fight against the city. Rumor has II that
the defense will attack he constitution
ality OF the charter itself. II Is also
thought that the point will be raised that
the general welfare clause in the char
ter cannot be construed TO be a prohi-
bition of lotteries because lotteries are
not specially mentioned. 1t Is also pos.
.ible thar the theory may he advanced
that an ordinance to regulate does not
prohibit or restrain.
Some think that there VIII he an srga-
r,ent on the claim that shere is a con-
fict between the state law on lotteries
and the city ordinance.
