TRAVELLERS DOG A
Theatrical People Garry Pet Dogs from
Place to Place.

Theatrical People Snrry ret logs from
Place to Place.
A novel thing in travellers equipment
is the dog bag. 1t is produced by a
trunk and bag maker who makes a
specially of things for theatrical peo-
pie, and 1t is used chiefly by theatrical
people for the convenient carrying of
pet dogs from place to place in their
constant travelling when on the road.
The pets carried about the country by
theatrical people. mainly women, in
clude dogs of various kinds and sizes.
II may be that the dog owners are on
the road eight or ten months in a year
and constantly moving as they are.
some means of getting the dogs about
easily Is especially desirable. The dog
bag Is made In the form OF what Is
called in the trade a cabin bag. II has
a b~ox-shaped body with vertical sides
and ends and with the top sloping.
Obviously the cabin bag was the most
desirable for this use, because with it's
straight sides II afforded the most
room inside. and SO gave the greatest
comfort to the dog. Made up as a dog
bag one end Of the bag is taken out
entirely, and in place is set a wire
screen. Sometimes both end for
greater ventilation are thus equipped.
Over the grating is a leather curtain,
which may be opened or closed.-Chi-

AN UNCOMMON GROUND
Strike Of Painters Employed
on New East River
Bridge.

New York, March IA strike
among the employees of the new East
river bridge was ordered roday. The
strike was begun by the painters on
grounds of a rather peculiar nature,
and it is feared will be followed by a
general sympathetic strike on the
part of the iron workers.
The strike of the painters grew out
Of the discharge Of John Hale, one of
the painters who was OH the scaffold,
the rope f%astenings of which broke
last Friday causing the death of Frank
Abortion, who fell a distance Of $50
feet and was dashed to death at the
base of the granite anchorage. Hale
in saving himself, fractured his left
arm and dropped a pot Of black paint
which, in falling, struck the granite
anchorage, causing a Disagreement of
the surface. For this, it is claimed,
he was discharged.

Harrison came to town tonight and
tried to run the municipality. AS a
result of a roit on Main street, six bad
~ battered and bruised soldiers are in
limbo at the police station.
For three hours after their arrest
they kept up a rough house at the sta
ton and came very near demolishing
the old building. They tore the blank
cts into shreds, made scrap iron Of
the old stoves, demolished the beds
and made 50 much noise that no one in

Flannery and Chief Travis after re-
peatedly warning the soldiers to desist
from their depredations, in response
to the defiant yells Of the frenzied
men, sailed in with their billies and
made a charge that sent the brawlers
sprawling in all directions.
Before they were arrested they took
possession of a street car and, it is
claimed, held up the motorman and
threw sticks and bricks through the
windows, terrifying the women pas

AGAINST GREAT ODDS
Three Desperate Burglars Give
Fight to Hundreds of
Pursuers.

Pennington, Mich, March 13-Four
hundred men and boys had a pitched
battle this afternoon in which over
l, 1000 shots were exchanged with three
burglars, who were hiding in a patch
of woods three miles west OF the vii
lage.
After a desperate resistance, the
men showed a white flag from behind
their cover, and when the men
swarmed upon them, it was found that
all three were badly wounded. They
gave their names as George Smith,
John Tyler and Jim Williamson, and
their residence as Port Huron.
Williamson had been shot through
the back, head and one elbow. Smith
was wounded in the hack and legs and
Taylor in the face and legs. The trio
were handcuffed and brought to the
village, where their wounds we're
dressed.
A large crowd made such threaten
ing demonstrations after the men
were captured that the officers re-
moved their prisoners to the Jail at
Pontiac.

THIS IS DIFFERENT
Burlington Now Said to Be
Affiliated with Union
Pacific.

New York, March 13-The Mail
and Express says: The closer relations,
which will follow between the Union
Pacific and the Burlington are only
less important than the purchase of
the Southern Pacific by the Union
Pacific.
The Burlington was the one to be
feared by the Union Pacific in the
transcontinental territory, it's lines
reaching we'll out into Wyoming and
Colorado and threatening to build an
independent line of it's own to the Pa
cific coast. Such a road would neces-
sarily parallel tie Union Pacific to u
great degree and there is reason to be-
lieve that the Burlington people were
lending backing to some OF the recent
~ incorporated companies, notably
that promoted by Senator William A.
Clark from Salt Lake City to Los
Angeles.
The Union Pacific will not have a
controlling interest in the Burlington,
for the purchases Of Burlington stocks
aggregate much less than one-half of
the amount outstanding, which is
$1O8, 632, 800, including last issue.
The Union Pacific purchases are said
to be between 100, 900 and $50, OO0

STARTLING AFFIDAVIT FILED
BY CALLAHAN.
CANNOT Do WITHOUT HIM
Must Have Missing Mans Testi-
mony to Establish His
Own Innocence.

Omaha, March 18Th support of a
motion for a continuance, James Cal
lahan, charged with being one of the
kidnapers Of Edward A. Cudahy, Jr.,
filed an affidavit asking that Pat
Grove be brought into court to testify
for the defense when the case is called.
He swears that he can prove by Grove
that he was not implicated IN the kid
naping of. December 18, as alleged;
was not with Grove at the prison
house, where young Cudahy was held
for ransom and that he has not been in
Groves company since December l, Of
last year.
The case against Callahan is set for
trial next Wednesday
In the affidavit it is alleged that
Callahan has been incarcerated in the
city and county Jail for several weeks
and that he has been prevented from
consulting with friends and attorneys
and that having been SO confined he
has been unable to secure witnesses
who will swear to his whereabouts
December 1920.
Getting down to the merits of the
case, Callahan swears that if he were
permitted to go out and secure wit
nesses he could find a number Of men
who would swear to having been in
his company a greater number of the
days when he is alleged to have been a
guard over Edward A. Cudahy, Jr., at
the Melrose Hill house. These men,
he says, will testify that they were
with him early in the morning, dur
ing the day and late at night Oh the
dates on which he is charged with
holding young Cudahy a prisoner.
The most startling thing about the
affidavit is the allegation i'll which
Callahan swears that he cannot pro-
coed to trial and hope for al acquittal
without the testimony Of Pat Grove,
who is looked upon as the chief con-
spirator in the alleged kidnapping.
Callahan a Y that he does not know
Groves whereabouts at this time, but
says it is his opinion that he is not far
from Omaha. If out Of Jail, he says,
he is of the opinion that he could find
the much-wanted Grove.

Chicago, March 12-There was a
persistent rumor i'll railway circles to-
day to the effect that the Burlington
had been leased to the Great Northern
and had thereby become a part Of
Hills transcontinental line.
The Times Herald tomorrow will
say:
While confirmation regarding the
story could not be obtained, evidences
were not lacking to indicate there is
more than a grain of truth in the mat
ter. President Harris of the Burling-
ton stated he had no information re-
garding il and that such a deal might
easily be c~onsummated by the financial
interests Of the road without his
knowing it. The lease which the Har-
riman-Hill people are said to have Sc
cured or are about to seour is sup
posed to be agreed upon a Z per cent
guarantee for the stock.

Niles, Mich, March 13-The di-

bank today filed a declaration against
Charles A. johnson, the missing
cashier of the bank, alleging that forg-
cries amounting to 500, 900 against
leading citizens of this city have
been committed by him. 1t was
found today that there was a great
quantity of forged paper held by the
institution.
Bank Examiner Selden filed papers
with the county clerk at st. Joseph

many thousands. No trace of John
son was discovered today.
OF forged paper found $40, 900 was
against T. l.. Wilkinson of st. Joseph,
member of the abstract firm of Dix &
Wilkinson, which did a large business
with the bank.
A petition will be sent to the comp
troller Of the treasury asking him to
appoint some local business man re-
ceiver Of the bank. So many local
members and business firms are am
barrassed by the suspension that it is
vital to the town that the banks
affairs be settled up with all possible
speed. The report of the bank exam
liner is being feverishly awaited by
anxious depositors. Funds Of both
the city and county are tied up by the
bank and all municipal business is
