Take five worth with you and spread it

who seemed to be a sensible sort of person. A

reception anyhow, unless you to talk somebody
to death. "
The suggestion appeared to be a most happy
one and satisfactory everybody General Blue

quarrel that not another word spoken until the

pulling the engine rope. You can't ride on this

The conductor pointed at a huge sign the sta

warning that the men intended to quit

reports Of assaulting non-union men

WILD DOGS EAT
PARK PEACOCKS
Fierce Pack in SutrO Forest
Making Midnight Raids
About That NeighbOrhOOd

The residents of the district border
ing on Sutro Forest have been COM
planning for the past few months of the
ravages committed by pack of wild
dogs.
Poultry, cats and even pigs have
been torn and devoured by these half
wolves. The pack turks by day in the
brush of the Sutro tract and by night
harries the neighborhOod within some
blocks Of the vicinity.
They have extended their haunts into
Golden Gate Park. as a marked de-
crease in the peacock population
proves. OFTEN of late the park police
and the gardeners have found crushed
bones and scattered feathers of the
gaudy birds.
There have always been wild dogs in
SutrO Forest, but they confined their
wanderings to their chosen home until
recently. Now their depredatiOns are
causing alarm. The Tivoli Cafes p0ul-
try yard, located west of the tract, IS
a large sufferer from these nightly
visits. The owners of the preserve
have put a watchman on the place.
whose duty will be to shoot the canine
robbers if he sees them. The watch
man, Herman Swanson, has seen the
pack on several occasions He says
there are about forty dogs in 1t, for the
most Daft mongrels. The fercest and
boldest among them is a huge grey
hound, who appears to be leader or the
pack. Thereby hangs a true story that
is stranger than the best dog hction
ever written.
Up to few months ago the hound
Connemara was the fleetest at Ingle-
side Coursing Park. One afternoon,
after winning the final round of n
stake. Connemara suddenly darted
( like a streak of light for the gate Of
the park.
out he sped, and with the machine
like Iope of the greyhound made his
way into the hills That was the last
ever seen of Connemara at the cours-
ing parks.
AS the dog was valued at several
thousand dollars an extended search
was made but to no avail. 1t was sup
posed that the animal started to chase
over the unfenced hills and ran till he
dropped dead.
But Swanson's description Of the
! leader of the Sutro forest pack tallies
with that of Connemara. 1t is therefore
supposed that the blooded hound, in
fierce rebellion against man, fed to the
wilds.
The coursing parks were too limited
! for Connemara, whose instincts told
him that the whole world was his to
run over. Obeying that instinct, he fled
into the hills. Hidden in the brush he
found the pack. No doubt at first they
resented his intrusion, and Connemara
had to overthrow their mongrel feader.
Perhaps he fought the entire pack. Bit
! ing. snarling and rolling through the
brush. At any rate he gained their re-
| spect and fear. His breeding told. Now
| he rules over them In the night his
bay leads the chorus that rings through
the ravines of Sutro Forest: at his heels
the yelping mongrels follow in search
of prey. He gets the choicest morsels
from the chicken coops and the fattest
peacocks in the park.
If allowed to remain at large he will
no doubt sire race of wild dogs that
