A DOC THAT CAN Think
Showed His Hatred for the
Man Who Skinned His
Mate
San Leandros Favorite Canine Dies
and a Small Sensation
Follows.

SAN LEANDRO, CAL. June 13.-An in
cident that occurred last night displays
SUCH unusual instinct on the part of dog
that it is the talk of the town.
A few days ago dog named Polo died.
Polo was the town dog and everybody re-
spected him except those who had cause
to fear him. Polo had an inseparab BILE COM
panion in dog named Sam. When Polo
died Sam kept track of his dead body. He
watched two men take the carcass away
and remove the skin preparatory to pre-
serving it. Sam did not like the opera
ton at all, but he waited day or two be-
fore making known his dislike.
Sam is the property of Sam Madsen,
and is a valuable animal. Last night he
was at his masters saloon and suddenly he
became aggravated and snappish. Seeing
that something had aroused the animal s
temper, which is violent one, Madsen
took hold of Sam and was about to Iced
him away. Just as he did SO the animal
leaped at man at the counter, and his
master had great difficulty in holding
him, The man at the counter was one of
those who had helped to skin Polo, and
although a week had passed. Sam had not
forgotten it. The dog had been following
the two men and acting strangely for
some days, but as Polo did not return, he
evidently thought that the men who
skinned him are responsible for his abb
sence and determined on revenge.

each year if she gains herirevenge. There
is a long distance between these two To-
calities and facts and the story that unites
them is one of blood, revenge and diplo-
macy with glimpse of prison bars on the
side.
This afternoon delegation of Council
men went to The little hut where the flag
man passes his time to see if the shantv is
on the public street or on private property.
The visit was the result of Mrs. Herhst' s
neat little plan of revenge.
It now becomes necessary to go back a
few weeks and recount briefly few facts
of a feud which has been raging for
months and which may yet end in MUIR
der, as it nearly did short time ago.
zone dark night" said Halsey as he
nursed a sore head at FabrIola, "Mrs.
Herbst came to my hut and cheerfully
told me she had come to make friendly
call. I asReds her to sit down and she
few at me like tigress. Twas badly hurt
and am positive that her intention was
to murder me. She had dagger and
attempted to stick it into my eyes. [
struggled with her and tried to attract
help, but she told me she had chosen the
late hour for calling on me so that people
would never dream it was she when
should be found dead. There is good
reason for her conduct. For long time
the railroads ties have been disappearing
from the back of my cabin and she believed
that she was suspected because she has
said so. | had her arrested for assault
with deadly weapon, but as that charge
could not be made to stick in the absence
of corroborative testimony | have charged
her with battery and the case is now
pending"
halsey is one of the oldest railroad
men in Oakland and has been in the en-
ploy of the company since the road was
opened.
After herl release on bail Mrs. Herbst
petitioned the City Council to have
Halsey's hut removed, as she claims it is
an obstruction. Ii it is moved to the side
of the road Halsy will have to walk several
yards each time he flags train, and as he
flags one every fifteen minutes Mrs.
Herbst has figured out that he will travel
several hundred miles each year more
than he has been doing.
"There are two sides to this story" said
Mrs. Herbst. "For several months I
have been insulted by the fiagmen. They
have called me all manner of offensive
names and have made life miserable for
me. am quite satisfied if decent fiagmen
are there, but if not | shall be heard

THE JAIL UNSAFE.

Prisoners Are Not Allowed Any Exer-
else for Fear They Will Escape.
OAKLAND, CAL, June 13.-The many
prisoners confined at the county jail are
not allowed to exercise in the yard in
closed by the high stone wall owing to the
ease With which many have scaled the
walls in an exp rimental way. Chief
Jailer Lane was the first TO make the ex-
pertinent after Dougherty, the chicken
thief, escaped that way. Since then, other
experiments have been made which prove
that it would only take young man a
minute to escape. There are, perhaps, a
dozen places which prisoner who had
been allowed to 90 into the yard TO exer-
else could use with ease to ascend to the
roof of the Jail, and once there, it would
be simply question of descending to the
ground in as easy manner as possible.

Teller and shafroth speak

Denver. April 16.--A special to the
Times From Washington says: Senator
Teller and Representative Shafroth have
decided definitely not to be candidates
for nomination as delegates to the ma
tional Republican convention.
Both say that they can notsupport gold
standard candidate for the presidency
and that they would only place them
selves in an EN- EMBARRASSING position by par
ticipating in a convention SO certain to
take position against silver as they
consider the Republican convention to
be.
Mr. Teller says that he promised the
people of Colorado IN 1894 that he would
cot support gold standard man in the
campaign of 1896, and he would not
change that position now.
