BULL DOG HELD TIGHT.
Reinforced With Iron Bar He Re-

Be1nbored With n Iron Bar He Re-
fused to Relax His Grip.
About 10 o'clock Saturday morning,
big stray bulldog darted around the cor
ner of Fifteenth street, on to Main and
pounced upon small white dog belong
ing to Mr.. Samuel Steiner. A crowd
quickly gathered. and their shouts and
futile attempts to free the smaller dog
brought Mr.. Steiner from his store.
Bring a gun! Bring a pistol"' yelled a
man, but Mr.. Steiner brought heavy
bar. with which he fell upon the ag-
gressor. But the bull held on. 1t looked
bad for the little dog. Finally two sturdy
negroes grasped the bulldog by each
hindleg, while Mr.. Steiner, holding his
club with both hands. belabored him al
most to insensibility and the smaller dog
was freed. He ran from the spot in a
way that left no doubt of his fright, and
he may be running yet.
The bystanders were loud in their dis
approval of bulldog being allowed to
run the streets. He was not tagged or
collared.
Gle might as easily have seized a
child said one bystander.

HOW "CAL." AKERS
GOT A HORNETS NEST
Comply With the Request
of Lady.

''Co.orel E. G. Akers came near being
the cause Of the death of a man few
days ago." said Secretary Eggleston. Of
the State Department. the other day
Colonel Akers is one of the most popu-
lar men in the city with ladies, and he
had request from one Of them for a
hornets nest Could he. and would he
get one for her? Certainly he would
Anything that she wished for in his pres
ence was simply an order that he would
obey. If ne had to go to the uttermost
parts Of the earth.
He accordingly sought the caterer at
Murphys and had him make deal with
a countrynlan who comes to the Second
Market with loads of fresh and fine vege-
tables, and which generally find their
way to the tables of Murphy's Hotel The
Ca terer saw the countryman, and asked
hirt If ne could get a hornets nest for
friend. The farmer knew where there
was one about the size of half-bushel
basket, and he would get it.
The cost would be only about one dol
lar. He would bring it to market the
next day. The caterer reported to Col
onel Akers. who in turn reported his
progress to the young lady~for whom il
was intended. Everything was lovely
About week later the caterer came
to the hotel and told Colonel Akers to
keep out of sight for several days, that
the countrynan was on the war-path
swearing vengeance upon both the
caterer and the man who wanted the
hornets nest. He had gone to the place
to capture the nest. and what happened
to him cannot be described in cold print
It would require red-hot type and ashes
tos paper.
THE hornets did business in a hurry
The man looked as though he had been
boiled, skinned and dried in the sun
He could hardly open his eyes. He said
there were million of the hornets, and
that each one stung him twice. He was
horrible looking sight, and he is mad
enough to fight if any one suggests hor-
nets to him.
