Shot the Wrong Dog.

B. j. Yost, the local hunting dog
admirer, has met with another misfor-
tune. When JEFF kept barber shop he
was put to an expense on an average of
once week in replacing the large pane
of glass in his shop window which one of
his dogs destroyed with the frequency
stated by jumping through the pane
to follow his master jeff becam
famous as a very unfortunate dog owner.
When he gave up the shop it was
hoped his luck would change, but it
didn't. Now he is losing his dogs. Sew.
eral days ago one of the animals behaved
itself in such a manner that the owner
decided to have it shot. He left mes
sage at Justice Cardin's Office instructing
a constable to call for the dog and end
it's existence. Constable Boland was
detailed for the deed. He found two hunt
ing dogs at Yost's house. Both animals
were profuse' in their welcome of the
officer and he concluded that each deserved
shooting, but as the death warrant was
issued for only one he proceeded to judge
the actions of the animals to decide which
was the guilty one. After some reflec
tion he threw rope over one of the
animals neck and hauled it off to the
shooting grounds. When Mr.. Yost re-
turned home he found the wrong dog had
been shot. He has since killed the con
demned animal. jeff took the affair
good naturedly and laughed with the
constable over it today.

Frozen, oysters at the scheiay House.
ne Real Estate Market.

An important real estate deal was con
summated today. l.. j. Wilkinson, the
South Main street dry goods merchant,
has become the owner of the property
located at the southeast corner of Main
and Lloyd streets. Although Mr.. Wilkin-
son becomes the immediate owner of the
place, he does not take actual possession
until April 1st, 1896, as the lease OF
Mr.. George w. Keiter, the present occu
pant, does not expire until that time.
Mr.. Wilkinson says that when he gets
possession he will begin improvements
that will change the appearance of the
property entirely and he will establish in
it the largest dry goods house in the
county. Another story will be added to
the building, the lodge room will be
abolished and an imposing corner
entrance will be made. 1t will be one of
the most attractive buildings in the town.
The property has one of the best locations
in the town and is especially desirable as
a site for large business building. AT
least five townsmen in addition to Mr..
Wilkinson were trying to make the
purchase. The stables at the Market
street end of the property will be re-
moved.

"OUR BOYS"
This Clever Comedy as Seen at Fergu-

sons Theatre Last Night.
Each performance of the Clair Patee
Company has been far above the average,
but last night this excellent organization
fairly outdone themselves in the very
funny comedy of "Our Boys" Every
person on the stage was specially suited
to the characters assumed, and there was
not one who did not make the most of
their work. The "boys" were well taken
by William Nichols and Albert Livings-
ton, and the girls" were in the moir
than capable hands of Miss Virginia
Bray and Miss Eva Taylor, and through
out the play these excellent artists caused
merriment and pathos to move the
audience to both laughter and tears. The
character lines were in the hands of W.
j. Clark and Miss Julia Hanchett. Mr..
Davenport, as the retired butterman, kept
the audience convulsed with his assUmp.
tion of aristocratic dignity, and his num-
erous blunders. As Belinda, Miss Florence
Hadley presented an element of comedy
which was a surprise to those who had
seen her in other and more refined
characters. Her song of miss Dunn"
received repeated encores. Taken as a
whole this was certainly one of the best
comedies presented in Shenandoah this
season and is a great credit to this com
pany, as in the hands of less capable and
experienced artists it would not be as
effeotual. 1t was the intention to present
tonight the great drama, "Infatuation," :"

ATTACKED BY A DOG.
A Little Girl Horribly Mangled BY
EcrociOus Brute.


The little daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Griffis. of Belmont street: had
q narrow escape from horrible death
and has received injuries yesterday
which may prove fatal.
At the time. the little one was play
ing in the yard near Mr.. Gibps, VINO
was engaged in doing some work. Sud,
denly a dog bounded forward and
pounced upon her. knocking her to the
ground. The dog then commenced TO
chew the girls face and before stoppeu
had mangled it terribly.
The screams of the little girl attract
ed the attention of MIR. Gibbs. who.
turning and seeing the position OF the
little one, ran to her rescue.
The dog ran as Mr.. Gibbs approached.
or otherwise it would have killed the
baby. The little girls face was torn
in a most horrible manner. The bridge
of the nose was broken and the left eye
closed and blackened so that II can not
yet be seen what the injuries to II VIII
be. A yellowish matter ooZes from the
flesh below the right eye. and the ROOF
of the mouth Is badly cut The cheeks
are laid bare. the flesh being torn here
the worst. DR.. +. f. jenkins was sum-
moned to dress the wounds. He thinks
the life of the child can be saved II
blood poisoning does not set in. He
cannot yet tell whether there will be
any Disagreement or not
The dog which made the attack. with
out the slightest provocation. is the
property of Joseph Robinson, Nobody
feels more deeply over the affair than
he does The dog had been a great pet
and had never been ugly until very
lately.
The dog is getting old. and this prob
ably made its temper somewhat irri-
table. It will be killed to prevent any
repet tition of the occurrence.
