But it Took a Street Car and
Policeman to Do It.
NINTEEN SHOTS WERE FIRED
And Now Police Officer Ingalls, is Not
Sure That the Canine Will
Not Recover.

Policeman Percy ingalls, n a friend
of his, Steve O'Neill, had an experience
with a dog yesterday which they claim
had nineteen lives. They also state that
the dog may have more but that has not
been discovered, still they would not be
surprised to see a certain dog they shot
come to life again, as it did eighteen times
before. Yesterday the street car ran over
a big dog on East Commercial avenue
just east of the court house, and cut two
of its legs off. One leg was on the front
shoulder and the other the hip of tn dog.
ingalls, was called to kill the dog and shot
him through the head. The dog after be-
ing shot, got up and ran home a block
away. The policeman followed the dog
to his kennel aud hot him again, which
made the dog wag his tail whether in joy
or pain the officer cannot say). Three
more shots were fired and the dog still
lived Officer ingalls, reloaded his gun
and emptied every chamber at the dog
through the kennel, but without effect.
Steve O'Neill came upon the scene with a
rifle which the officer took, pointed at the
head of the poor beast and fired. The dog
laid low but was not dead. The men
thought he was, and went away and left
him. They were coming up town and as
they passed the front porch of the house
of the man who owned the dog they dis
covered his dogship almost shot to pieces
lying on the porch. They called the dog
and he came to them and followed them
arOun the house where they opened fire
and kept it up until nineteen rounds from
the beginning was poured into the dog,
which by this time appeared to be dead.
Ingalls, sent after the dog catcher, also
Chief White. who came but they would
not vouch for the death of the dog. The
dog catcher told how last summer he shot
a dog nine times and then had to kill it
with a club. Chief of Police White had
had a worse experience.

called. He saw blood in the ears and
nose of Benson. Did not know where the
