DOG BREAKS MINIS ARM.
Pulls Well Knozcn Brooklyn Builder
Dozen Steps

Robert Ormiston well known mason and builder
in Brooklyn, was pulled from the front steps Of
his home, No Csc Marcy-ave., Brooklyn, yesterday,
by his pet bulldog. Streak. and is now in the
Bushwick Central Hospital. suffering from severe
fracture of the left arm, the shoulder.
Mr. Ormiston who is well along in years is a
great lover of dogs, and his particular favorte is
Streak a full blooded bulldog. who frequently ac-
companies him his walks AS Streak was young
and full of fight. always looking for trouble, the
builder found it wise not only to keep him
chain, but also to fasten the chain to chain ring
around his wrist Before that the dog had pulled
away and started in to annhlate strange dogs
several occasions.
When Mr.. OrTniston and Streak reached home
after their walk yesterday, they sat down the
steps for while. A reckless cat for whom Streak
had an especial aversion evidently aware that the
dog was chained. got up on the adjoining steps
and began to make faces at him. Just then Mr..
Omissions attention attracted in the other
direction. and the cat made a flying leap in front
of Streak. The dog lost his head and made
tremendous spring down the stairs after the cat.
pulling Mr.. Ormiston, who fell heavily on his
left side and rolled to the sidewalk Streak was
evidently sorry for what he had done. for he had
forgotten the cat and licking his masters
arm when the other members of the family came
out Mr.. Omissions wrist lacerated where
the chain ring had cut into the flesh and as his
arm was badly fractured it thought best to
send him to a hospital

GENUINENEss OF RECORDS DOUBTED
Suit May Be Brought to Have Those of
New-Haarlem Made Public

1t is alleged that the records of the old Town of
New-Haarlem in the possession of company
which, among other things. guarantees realty titles
It is held that suit may be brought by the law
firm of Toer & Nutting for the corporation of
the old town against the company to have the rec
ords opened to public inspection. Doubt exists in
some minds as to whether or not these records are
the original documents of the town. and If any
person had the right TO give or sell them to any
person or corporation he chose. If they are only
copies of the original documents there will be no
ground it is thought, for suit with the object of
obtaining from the court order giving any per-
the right 20 inspect them.
The number of these records is said to be about
twenty, and they set forth the wills. deeds and
other documents Of the freeholders and inhabitants
of the corporation of the town, and also contain
a history Of the town from 1866 to 1856. Steps
taken some months ago to discover the where
abouts of the descendants of the members who
comprised the corporation of the old town. II is
firmly thought that these descendants may be the
owners of certain lands which the old town owned
corporation. It is thought that the records in
question may decide this interesting and important
question

WALDORF GUESTS FLED.
Nan Who Tried to Sell Bond dr.
rested.

Because he attempted. it is alleged. to sell a
first mortgage bond of the Southside Electric
Railway Company of Long Island last evening.
in the corridor of the Waldorf-Astoria, to House
Detective SMITH, a man who said he was John
Reynolds, an iron moulder. locked up in the
Tenderloin station. charged with being a sus-
picious person. He refused to give his address
He said he had found the bond in the street
and believed it was worth few hundred dol
lars. He had heard. he said, that bankers and
brokers congregated in the corridors of the
Waldorf-Astoria. and thought he could sell it
there.
Reynolds entered the hotel from the Thirty
fourth-st. side soon after o'clock A group of
guests were seated in corner of the corridor
and Reynolds dropped into a chair near by.
After listening for awhile Reynolds tried to get
into the conversation, according to Smith.
Thinking he a fellow guest. the others re-
piled to his remarks. but. becoming suspicious.
as he seemed to be i'll at ease and made several
plumbers in talking of Wall Street affairs, they
drifted away from him one after another.
Reynolds. left alone. and discovering another
guest reading further up the corridor. dropped
into seat alongside him and tried to begin
conversation
Without replying the guest arose and hurried
to the office. where he complained of the pres
ence of Reynolds.
Smith sent to investigate
Reynolds remained seated where the guest had
left him. Soon dapper little man dropped into
a seat alongside. Reynolds endeavored to strike
up conversation Immediately. The guest
talked stocks fuenty Finally Reynolds ac-
cording to the detective, pulled first mortgage
bond of the Southside Electric Railway Com
pany from his pocket and offered it for sale, ac-
cording to the detective, for $3.50
The dapper little man examined the bond. 1t
No. 4G3, dated 1900 and was apparently
signed by George H. Holt, as president. At
tached to the bond were twenty three coupons
for $50 EACH altogether worth SS05. Apparently
coupons worth S195 had been cashed.
WELL said the dapper little man. you are
under arrest" Then he showed his shield and
identified himself as the house detective. Reyn-
olds protested loudly, and, according to the de-
tective put up fight. Four policemen and
couple of porters, coming to the assistance of
the detective compelled Reynolds to submit.
While the police profess to regard the bond
either a forgery worthless, they
able to connect Reynolds with any criminal in
tention.
