A 5Ioodhound's Keen Scent.

A remarkable exhibition of the keen
ness Of scent Of the bloodhound wa!
given at the little town Of Bronson
in Allen County, the other day. The
town recently appropriated 500 out
of the city treasury for the purchase OF
one of these animals, the purpose be-
ing the detection and capture of thieves
who were operating in the neighbor-
hood, and test of the hound was con-
sidered desirable. At noon three men
started out on foot and walked four
miles into the country. Then they
mounted horses, and by a circuitous
route returned to the town. Six hours
later the hound was permitted to smell
a glove which had been worn by one
OF the men, and the next instant with
a deep growl he caught up the trail
and followed it on the run. At one
point the men had walked for thirty
yards on fence, and when the hound
came to this point he carried his nose
along the rail with hardly any re-
duction of speed Coming to the
place where the men had mounted he
took up the trail of the horses AMI
followed it into town, where, in a crowd
Of more than 100 men, he picked out
the one whose glove had beel given
him to SMELL Kansas City Journal.
