THE WAY CAPT.
OSBORN KEPT HIS DOG
Ruse by Which the Arctic Traveller
Outwitted a Frenchman.
Live Stock Commission.

A dog story, involving three legal
battles and a climax, was told a day
or two ago by Capt. Osbon, veteran of
distinction in FarragUt's campaign,
and an arctic traveller Aof experience
now living quietly in New York as
member of the small coterie Of return
ed polar enthusiasts whose name all
figure prominently on the roster of the
Arct1c CLUB. 49,
A lover of dogs, and particularly of
Irish settlers, Capt. Osbon took pride in
the possession, some years ago, of a
handsome and valuable dog, given to
him by the owner of well known
Long Island kennels. According to
the captain, the animal was coveted
by certain French dog fancier, who
finally claimed the dog, and, by aid of
the sheriff, obtained possession of him.
Capt Osbon recovered the animal by
a writ of repfevin, but lost him again
on further legal proceedings by the
Frenchman. Another replevin and more
proceedings followed while a third re-
plevin finally landed the case in open
court to decide the ownership of the
dog.
Calling on the owner of the kennels a
day or two before the trial, Capt. Os-
bon saw a dog so much like his own
that a bright idea came to him, and he
borrowed the animal. The disputed
dog was taken to court early on the
day of the trial and secreted in a side
room, the kennel dog being led into
the court room by the captain. Eight
witnesses swore on the stand that the
kennel animal belonged to- the French
litigant. His markings and peculiari-
ties were pointed out convincingly, and
the identification was positive.
Apparently abashed, Capt. Osbon sat
quietly until the French claimant had
made a positive declaration that the
dog was his, and then he sprang his
surprise. Leaving the court room mo-
ment, he return leading his own dog,
and said:
you honor, this is the only dog
want. My opponent can have the dog
he identified If he settles with the own
er of the * kennels, from whom bor-
rowed him two days ago.
Capt. Osbon received $500 in costs,
the dog and the applause of the spec

YALE WILL NOT
PLAY IN THE WEST
Blue Fears Strain Of Extra Contest Would
Be Too Great.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan 1.-WhiIe
many Yale undergraduates would like to
see their football team arrange a game
with one of the big teams of the Western
universities next year. such a think is not
likely to come to pass as the sons of
Eli have had one lesson. Yale's two
championship contests with Harvard and
Princeton and the fear that another hard
game would be too much of strain on
the players is thought to be sufficient to
refuse the game. ENe9 though a game
should be arranged itowDuld not be done
for month, as ther team has not yet
elected captain or manager.
Until captain ando manager for next
season are picked nothing definite of next
seasons policy car pc dcrysta1lized from
the unofficial undergraduate sentiment
which now fayofs game with a Western
team.
Three years ago Yale tried to meet the
University of Wisconsin in the middle of
the season. presenting an eleven made up
from the scrubs as usual in practice con-
tests and without introducing any COM
pl1cated formations Yale was barely able
to win---6 to 0.

FINES NO SMALLPOX
IN THE LUMBER
DISTRICTS
NJ. J. Scanlon Says Report
That the Disease Is Ram
pant in the Woods Greatly
Increases the Difficulty of
Obtaining Men.

Lumbermen engaged in operations in
the northern part of the state complain
that the frequently published state
ments emanating from the state health
board, that smallpox is rampant in the
lumber camps, and that it is difficult
to insure the taking of proper precau-
lions by those in charge of such
camps, are increasing the difficulty OF
obtaining men for work in the woods,
as hands otherwise willing to engage
for numbering, not unnaturalIy, object
to signing for service in unsanitary
camps
NJ. J. Scanlon, of the Scanlon- Gipson
Lumber company, came in yesterday
morning after a trip which took in all
of the twelve camps of the concern on
the st. Louis, St. Croix and Rum river.
His statement of the smallpox situation
is, therefore, of much interest, at least
as it applied to the woods.
''This is the first year for five years
that we have not been bothered to a
greater OF less extent by smallpox"
said Mr.. ScanIon last night. In my
journey through our twelve camps L
established to my satisfaction that not
only had there never been a case OF
smallpox in any of them this winter,
but there had been no report from any
of them showing the existence of any
disease which could possibly be mis-
taken for smallpox.
No Smallpox in Camp.
1.-TWO years ago we had considera-
BILE amount of trouble with varioloid,
or that is what the medical profession
diagnosed it. Whatever the disease, it
was in so mild a form that it caused
the men attacked little or no incon-
Venience beyond their enforced confine-
ment. The name smallpox, however,
was sufficient to insure that every
camp would be thoroughly disinfected
and all possible precautions taken to
prevent a recurrence of the trouble
in following seasons. No precaution
was neglected in our camps, and the re-
suits are apparent We have no small
poX whatever, nor anything resembling
1t.
Il must say that, from my knowledge
of the situation in the timber, reports
of smallpox in lumber camps are being
exaggerated. 1 can speak not only for
our own camps, but also for those of
other big concerns cutting in our ter
ritOry. There is practically no small
poX in the woods this season. 1 am
willing to accord the proper credit for
this condition to the state board of
health, which has displayed commend
able activity in stamping out an cpl
eemic which might have become a Sc
FiOus menace to the health Of the state,
present reiterated statements of con-
dition in the lumber camps which does
not exist.
