that regarding a Swiss chamois hun

glaciers with an English gentleman
and his master, observed the former
approaching one of those awful GREY

caught his coat, and both slid onward.
till the dog seized his masters clothes
and arrested them in their course 10
an inevitable death. Both were saved
by the timely aid of the dog and the
gentleman showed his gratitude for
the act by leaving the dog a pension
for life"

CLAIMED THAT He WAS ROBBED.
A Curious Story Regarding Alleged
Robbery at the St. Julian.

There is case at the police station that
deserves to be called odd. Exactly what to
make of it troubles Marshal TTickey, and
Deputies Sterling and Hartnett, all OF
whom have been trying to find out some
thing definite regarding it.
Yesterday morning Patrolman MoGrath
was on Middle street. near Exchange. when
man rushed up, and said: "I've been
robbed Of $40''
"Wlere?" asked the patrolman.
''At some hotel, don't know whioh one,
but it is near here'' He added that he had
been robbed by man. who. like himself,
was a native of st. John, and that he had
known him for years.
Mr.. McGrath took him with him and
started to locate the hotel,whieh was done
sooner than he had anticipated. He said
when they reached the St. Julian, "There's
the place" and going i'll be shown to
the room he had occupied with two other
men, Frank McDermott and Erred JoEes.
He accused the former of having taken
$40 from him. but nothing TO say against
the latter.
McDermott insisted that he had not TAX
en- the money, but had himself lost Ii watch.
On the way 10 the station he dropped
SIG, which was secured by the paIrolma n.
AT the station it was found that he had SO
more. He was able then to give some ac-
count of himself, and said that when he
was paid off the previous night there was
81 coming to him, and that if he paid his
board he must have had only SO left. Later
on he concluded that he did not pay his
board. and that it was his custom TO pay
only.every other week. Taxing his most
favorable estimate of his finances, he had in
his possession some $40 more than he can
account for.
On the other hand the officers are trouh-
led to account for McDermott's watch. He
certainly appears to have had one in the
first of the previous evening, but had none
when Mr.. MoGrath arrested him at 3
O'Clock Sunday morning.
The man who elaiined to have been robbed
of $40 gave mis- name as Patrick O'Bron.
and his residence ST. John.N. B. Up to a
late hour last evening be had not reported
at the police station. and unless he does it
will be difficult to hold McDermott, who to
complicate matters was taken violently sick
soon after he was taken to the station. As
it stands it is badly mixed up case.
