DOG TRAINERS
 ARE AT WAR
What the Death of the Famous Pointer Glenbeigh Has
 Brought About.
Allender and Campbell Engage in Fisticuffs After a Warm
 Debate.

Although Glenbeigh, the once famous pointer dog, has departed to the happy hunting grounds, his great performances in the field have not been forgotten by Howard Vernon and sportsmen who have had the pleasure of shooting over him when he was in the land of the living.
 As already stated, the dog was poi soned in Bakersfield just previous to the field trials, and there were among the sportsmen who witnessed the trials some who thought that the grand old dog had been poisoned intentionally; then again, there were others who believed that the dog had partaken of meat that was poi soned purposely to destroy the coyotes which are numerous on the plains and that his death was purely accidental.
 However, the handler of the dog AL lender and a dog breaker named Camp bell, with some gentlemen who take an interest in field sports, met yesterday in a downtown establishment and hot exchange of words between the dog breakers resulted.
 Allender questioned Campbell re- garding his trip to Bakersfield and also about. remarks he (CampbelD had made in reference to Allender and Glenbeigh, which reused the Scottish blood in the veins of Campbell who retaliated with a statement that if any one person had an object in disposing of the dog in uues- tion it would be the man who is now en- gagged in looking after the interests of the E. V. Sullivan kennels of English settlers.
 At this insinuation Allender's little brown eyes flashed, and bracing himself for an attack he sent out his powerful right, but the blow fell short by an inch of the nasal appendage of MT. Campbell, but the whirr of the handlers big bunch of lives as it cleaved the powdered" at mosphere could have been heard a block away.
 A famous snipe shooter, who was pres ent when the battle was waxing hot, said that if Alender had happened to hit Campbell there would be no telling where Campbells head would have landed, as it Is said that in prime condition Allender can strike 400 pound blow.
 Campbell who is a giant in front of Allender, did not dream of an attack of the fists being made upon him, and he excused himself for the great loss of time on his part in retaliatfng by stating that it was a much greater surprise to him to see Allender attempt fiSticuffS than the announcement of the death of Glenbeigh.
 Friends interfered, however, before cold irons could be used, and the respective handlers were ushered to places of safety
 But it is said the end has not arrived. Campbell intends to issue a broadsword challenge to Allender, the contest to take place on the Farallon Islands at any time MT. Allender is ready for strictly busi- ness undertaking, but then, as MT. Alen- der has never had an opportunity of learning how to manipulate a sword either when mounted or on foot, the challenge will doubtless not be accepted.
 Allender wants the mitts or the raw 'uns; he believes only in the manly art as sportsmanlike means of sef-de- fense, and Campbell will. in all proba- biIitv, have to practice fisticuffs if he hopes to meet Allender on the field of battle.
 now reaching out for fisticS talent, will offer .'the handlers" good financial in- ducements to spat before the members.
