DEcoYED BY A MAD DOG


DOG CATCHER KOrP CAPTURED A
DIMlNUTIYE ANIMAL LAST
NIGHT.
City Dog-oatcher George Korp was
the victim OF practical joke played
upon him by his family last night.
Mr.. Kopp has charge of the Labor
League rooms In the Smith building
No. 610h Market street Last evening
a party was being held at his resi-
dence, No. 702 West Ninth street. As
he had duties to perform early IN the
evening at the hall it was necessary
for him 70 absent himself from home
for a time.
About o'clock a boy called at the
Smith building and informed Mr.. Kopp
that there was a mad dog IN the vi
cinity Of Ninth and Madison streets
that required HIS attention. He at
once hurried TO the locality, and upon
reaching his residence located the dog.
II proved to be brass animal about
.three-quarters Of an inch long and half
inch tall. and was perched upon Mr..
Kopp's doorstep.
George was not mad at all when he
found that joke had been perpetrated
upon him. His people fearing that he
wculd not arrive home in time fixed up
a scheme which they knew would
bring him. Mr. Kopp was compelled
to return down town and complete
his work before attending the party. He
now carries the mad dog in his vest
pocket.
