DOG STEALING GETTING
TO BE COMMON IN LONDON

LONDON. June 25.-Hitherto dogs
were supposed to have been stolen only
for the value they might realize alive,
and their mourning masters were al
ways buoyed up with the hope that
there was a good sporting chance OF
their being discovered
But now, alas, 1t would appear that
a dead dog industry has sprung up,
and a man may be offered his faith
full hound by an enterprising salesman
as the latest thing in motoring waist
coats.
How long the alleged traffic in dead
dogs has been in existence nobody
knows. The first hint of the new COM
merciaI development was let fall by
man who recently was asked to ac-
count for a fine spaniel and black
retriever that he was leading by
string in New Broad street His ex-
PLANTATION was not considered to be
satisfactory by the constable who in
terrogated him, and the dogs and he
were taken to the police station in
Moor lane.
Then he startled the police by re-
marking that the retriever was worth
25s for it's skin, and the spaniel los.
At Guildhan Police Court he was re-
manded for further inquiries.
Who buys and converts the skins the
police do not know.
