GIGANTIC "GH0ST DOG" is
KILLED BY CHICAGO POLICE
Boys Use Phosphorescent Paste on
Mastiff and Make a Hound
of the Baskervilles.


CHICAGO, April 25.-George p Macklin.
of 1924 Jackson boulevard, has lost his val
liable mastiff because a number of boys
in his neighborhood persisted in making a
ghost dog of him. The mastiff, which
was of gigantic size and weighed $50 pounds,
was enticed away from the home of Mr.
Macklin, and night after night the boys
would smear his head and face with phos-
phorescent paste and then turn him loose
on the streets.
So many complaints were made to the
police of the number of children frightened
by the ghost dog that officers were sent
out to hunt the animal.
The climax came tonight when a neigh
Dor of Mr. Macklin reported that his six
year-old daughter had been thrown into
convulsions by the sight of the animal The
officers hurried out after the dog and shot
him. They are now looking for the boys
who painted him.
The idea of making a ghost dog out
of the mastiff doubt taken by the
Chicago boys from Conan Doyle's famous
story, THE Hound of the Baskervilles" In
the story "A great hound was used TO ter
rorize the Baskervilles. Sherlock Holmes

Gen-san Not Bombarded.

SEOUL. April 25.-The steamer Goyo
Maru, which was sunk in the harbor at
Gen-Sar this morning by the Russian Via
divostok squadron, was an old coasting
steamer of 576 tons and was owned at Che
mulpo by a Korean company which char
tered it to the japanese. The Japanese
community at Gen-San numbers $500 and
owns much property there. The japanese
garrison refrained from firing on the en-
emy during the sinking of the steamer
because they did not desire to draw a re-
talitory bombardment.
Later reports from Gen-San state that
the Vladivostok squadron has disappeared.
