pugdog is the bone of contention
between Mrs. Edith Robinson of 2614A
Twenty-fourth street and Harry Moore,
a saloon-keeper at Ellis and Powell
streets. Mrs. Robinson paid SO for the
animals release from the pound and
impending execution, and as she was
/ escorting it past Moore's wet goods
store last Tuesday the bartender,
Johnnie Day, whistled and shouted,
Come here, Jack" whereupon the
dog ran up to him and waved saluta-
ton with its gnarled tail. Come back
here, Jack" commanded Mrs. Robin
son, but the bartender would not let
Jack obey. That's how the matter got
into Judge Conlan's court.
Moore testified that about two
months ago the dog disappeared from
his home and he notified the pound
master to look out for it and also ad-
vertised its loss in the daily news
papers. Unlike the historic cat how
ever, it never came back, and he had
about given it up as kidnapped and con-
verted into sausage meat when it was
found in Mrs. Robinson's possession.
He showed tax receipts and identified
the collar worn by the dog as one
he had given to it as a birthday
present. BY a strange coincidence he
named the animal Jack" and the
same appellation was bestowed upon
it by Mrs. Robinson.

told to look out for it by Mr.. Moore
demands investigation. I'll continue
the case until next Saturday, when the
poundmaster should be here to offer
some kind of an explanation"

neither of them looked the part.
Hoff's head was completely swathed in
bandages, while Young was entirely
unscathed. The trouble occurred in a
canning factory at Seventh and Town
send streets, where Young was fore
man and Hoff an ordinary employe.
Hoff angered Young by addressing him
with undue familiarity, cheerfully say
ing, Good morning, boss" and when
