ANOTHER DOG FIGHT At REHOBOTH
Bull Terrier, Bull Dog and Fox Terrier
Mix Things Up.
Special to the Evening Journal.

Speciai to the Evening Journal.
Rehoboth, Aug. 1.-Rehoboth has had
another series Of dog fights-this time
on the beach. Before the fracas was end
ed it was necessary to use six cats as
'distractors."
Three CANNES made the bathing hour
very hvely--a bull TERROR, a bull dog and
a fox terrier. The three got so mixed in
their scrap that even their owners couldn't
tell one fro mthe other and The bun dog
got rather the worst of the bargain The
fox terrier was too small TO be worth
much attention from the bigger fighters,
but succeeded in chewing the bull dog S
ear into shreds.
After a dozen men had expended their
energy and utilized every resource in
trying to separate the combatants some
resourceful youth suggested dumping half
a dozen cats into the scrap to distract the
dogs attention. The neighborhood was
secured and six lean and husky cats
were found. They We're rushed TO the
beach by willing youngsters and fairly
hurled at the dogs. The air screamed
with Kisses from the struggling feiines
and the dogs were so astonished they
forgot to fight. Before they recov-
cred the dogs were wearing badly scratch
ed noses and the cats were gone. The
CANNES had no more idea of fighting and
hmped away to sulk.

this morning that he meant that was COM
