Holt,s Frightful Experience.

Last Monday night s. W. Barnes b;g St Bernsrd got loose and wandered down town. Louis Holt was also out that night and thereby hangs tale full of sensational situations and grand dra- matic clinaxes. The night was dark and dreary and the big dog was en- countered by many of the late pedes- srians returning home from the enter tainment at Town Hall, and his sudden and unlocked for appearance sent shudder of dread to the hearts of all who met him.
 MT Holt, although as brave and fear less young man as stands in shoe leather, while issuing from house on Main street sustained shock of terror when he bumped up against the big animal i'd the darkness. which rendered him nearly unconscious. But when the dog emitted 8 gutturA growl it lent wings to his feet and he actually flew into the telegraph office at the Union depot where he dropped into s seat in a state of nervous and physical collapse Our friend Daniel Sweeney was present together with the operator, Michael Joyce As soon as he had recovered sufficiently Holt related to his friends in glowing terms his frightful experi, ence and his encounter with beast oi mammoth dimensions and unlimited fe- rocity, whereupon Dan volunteered the remark that he had run against some animal as big as a COW, on his way homo, and hsd likewise retrested to the telegraph office ss the only available place of safety. The matter WAS talked up and Holt's excitement was aroused to an alarming pitch.
 Is was finally decided that some un known, wild and ferocious animal wa: roaming the street and was a menace tc the lives of the community. Aftel much urging Holt finally agreed to sc company Dan on a voyage of discover, to determine what the animal could be It was discovered lying on the post office steps. and at the same time a mar appeared with his coat thrown over hi head standing on Railroad street corner This man. Dan approached against tn, entreaties of his companion who wa thereby left alone in imminent dange
 of falling into the jaws of the unknowl animal
 Daniel ehssed the strange man to th,
 rear of Mrs Hamm's residence where h. lost him and the two returned to tn office where they found Joyce avaitinI
