A FEE DOG INJURED.
Another Water witch Victim Now Nursi
a Broken Leg,

Another Water Witch Victim Now Nursing
"A Broken Leg
"Fido," the intelligent Water Witch
fire dog, which is owned by James
Stewart, one of the members OF the
company who was injured at the Union
street crossing on Christmas eve, is
nursing broken leg. The sagacious
animal, while accompanying the APP
paratus to fire about 4 O'Clock last
Thursday afternoon, was stepped on by
one of the horses. Its leg was broken,
but ii continued to the fire ON three
legs and returned with the apparatus
to the engine house. 1t also started to
the fire at Lancaster and Bayard
avenues at 6 O'Clock in the evening,
and after the accident remained on
watch at the scene until the members
of the company had taken everything
away. Had the dog not been on guard
it is quite likely some of the bolong-
ines of the men would have been stolen.
"Fido" is a great favorite with the
memb ers, who have been doing all in
their power to alleviate it's sufferings.
1t knows as well as the horses what
an alarm of fire means, and is always
on hand.

leading publications Of the country

do so was to insure political ostra-

fealty to the silver cause by assisting
in his nomination; they should not
cease their efforts in his behalf until
by their votes they have triumph

he will be bound by that platform to

further oppressed by the money
power through its chosen agent?
