A Big Dog Fight.

A lively fight was participated in by
canine, lady, a dog catcher, and q
policeman this morning on the New
mans bank. A crowd quickly gather
ed to witness the exhibition.
Miss Greenwood of the Western
Union telegraph Office was starting
home to dinner, and her dog was fol-
lowing her. A young Aztec slipped
up behind the dog and roped him, then
there was great amount of yelping on
the part of the puy. The young WON an
started for the boy and when near
| enough she gave him a ringing box on
| the ears that he will not soon forget
About this time Officer Pat Dryer
came up and the owner of the dog be-
gan to plead with him to make the boy
release the dog, this he refused to do,
but he told her that while he bad to
protect the boys in doing their work, if
she would let the bow take the dog to
the pound, and would get out license
for him this afternoon, he would see
that the canine was not put to death
Miss Greenwood started on home
and the officer went to City Scavepger
Chairman to tell him to hold the dog
until the license came.
In the meantime the dog was giving
the small boy all he wanted to pull
along. Some fun loving man who was
watching the proceedings took out his
