FAITHFUL DOG ouTRAN TRAIN.
Followed His Master and Waited
for Him in the station.

Followed His Master and Waited
for Him in the station.
From the Anaconda Standard.
Passengers on yesterdays Great
Northern train from Helena witnessed
a novel sight after Basin had been
passed. A passenger boarded the
train at that camp, and his dog seemed
to be much concerned about his mas
ters departure. After the train pulled
out of the station the dog took up the
scent, put his ears back, let the mus
cles of his legs out full length, and
after the cars he went. He rounded
curves with the rapidity of roulette
ball, and when he struck a straight
stretch of roadway he heightened his
strides and poked his nose into the
wind and fairly whizzed keeping about
seventy five or one hundred yards be-
hind the cars.
The train moved up the heavy grade
at a slower rate of speed, so that there
was not so very much for the dog to
do but get down and hustle. But after
Bernice had been passed the engineer
pulled the throttle open and the train
bowled along across Elk Park at
pretty lively clip. Then doggie was
lost sight OF for awhile. At Woodville
a short stop was made and before the
train pulled out the dog was there,
painting, but comparatively fresh, con-
sidering his long run. No more was
seen on the dog until the train pulled
into the depot at Butte.
There the dog lay upon the platform
waiting for the train and his master,
who was a passenger. He had been
resting there for five minutes. Instead
of following the train on its long, cir
cuitous route from Woodville to Butte,
fourteen miles, he took the old stage
road and made the run of four miles
in a short time.
