DOG FIGHT STOPPED
AN AUCTION SALE.

AucttOneer Descended from stand to-
Take Part of Under Dog.
A dog fight Tuesday afternoon,
temporarily stopped the auction sale of
the property of the late Hugh Logan
at OFT and Bolton streets, Mr.. John
L. Archer, the auctioneer, having to
descend from his stand to catch one
dog by the leg, while another man in
the crowd caught the other canine.
The first lot had just been sold and
the second was being auctioned, when
large, vicious looking dog appeared
upon the scene. A very small and
wretched looking little canine had
followed Mr.. Archer to the auction and
was standing at his heels, while the
sales were taking place. The big dog
no sooner saw the little one than IT
made for it,
The little fellow was soon down, but
did not give up the fight The noise OF
the dogs stopped the auction and a
man in the crowd grabbed the big dog
by the hind legs and pulled it off the
little one. But the little dog evidently
had some Jap blood in his veins
for it made for the big brute again
The man who had grabbed the big dog
was thrown to the ground and the dogs
fought on top of him.
There was no other way, and Mr.
Archer descended from his auctioneer's
platform, and grabbed the little dog
While some one else in the crowd held
the large one.
1T is not my dog" said Mr.. Archer
IN apologizing for the interruption in
the sales, but he belongs to friend
and l like TO stand by him."
The sales continued after the little
| dog had been safely stored away in
a buggy, where the big one. could moi
| get at It, and the auctioneer begar
making arrangements to have the fight

tator gave the snap away.
