IN MASTERS ABSENCE
Prince. a Pet Terrier, Resents Be-
ing Tied Up in the
Cellar.

Prince, a brown Scotch terrier belonging
TO Emil Birkhart OF No 4+O4 St Ferdinand
avenue. was strangled to death yesterday.
His master found his dead body last night
dangling at the end of a rope over a baby
buggy IN the cellar close to where he had
tied him In the morning. Mr.. Birkhart pre-
sumes that the dog jumped over the buggy
with suicidal intent, and says he must have
calculated the distance to the buggy over
which he jumped with nicely. because If
he had chosen the lowest instead Of the
highest part OF the buggy he would not
have ended his life.
The dog was an unusually Intelligent ami
NAL ana the pet Of the entire Birkhart
household. He was the constant companion
OF the children. who are greatly grieved
over his death
For several days Mr.. BirkhArt has tied
the dog in the cellar each morning before
his departure for work and released him
each evening. The dog seemed TO resent
being tied and taken into the cellar, and
when the rope by which he was tied was
adjusted around his neck be seemed an al
tered dog. Instead OF the playful guardian
and defiant fighter Of an hour before he
would stink away with his tail curied be-
tween his legs and seek the darkest spot
he could find. From the time he was tied
in the celler until his master would come TO
release him he would whine in a most mel
anchOly manner.
