Supposed Mad Canine
Created Furore at Seventh
and Pine Streets
FINALLY CAUGHT IN A CELLAR

Jumping from the second story looL
of a house to an alley. a distance OF
thirty feet, then bounding to its feet
and keeping on apparently uninjured,
was the remarkable feat performed by
a supposed mad dog. on the cast side
Of the city last evening. The animal
was first seen at Seventh and Pine
streets. when it dashed into the hall
way Of the home Of Zephaniah r.
Whitelock. on the southeast corner. but
before it could get into the house
proper, several boys. who happened TO
be in the hallway kicked it out.
The animal, which was of the bull
dog variety was frothing at the mouth
and upon leaving the WhiteloclS
premises started diagonaly across the
street and made for the door OF James
w. ID. Pryor. Seated on the steps was
William Potter, a young man. He failed
to notice the dog until &c was almost
on top OF him and for fear Of attract
ing attention he remained quiet. The
animal, however, suddenly swerved and
with a bound dashed past Potter and
through the screen door, taking screen
and all with it.
KEPT ON UP STAIRS.
Up stairs 1t ran, but half way up
encountered small son Of Mr.. Pryor
The dog made no attempt to bite the
| lad and running between the latter's
| legs continued its upward flight. The
crowd that gathered around the house
lhad by this time attracted the atten-
ton of Mrs Pryor, who was in the
yard.
Knowing that her son was up stairs.
she became frightened, but Alfred
Manship. a border. who happened to
be up stairs at the time. took in the
situation at a glance. Securing his re-
volver he started in search for the dog.
After reaching the second floor the
animal made its way to the bathroom,
but it did not stop there. Keeping ON
lit finally reached the third floor and
then got out on the second story roof
Manship was down in the alley in
the rear of the houses on the west side
of Pine street by this time, and when
the canine appeared on the roof, h'
took a flying shot at it but missed.

Many of the best ideas of women's
tailor suits this season are borrowed
from the styles in mems wear The
cutaway coat is the model. for one of
the most fashionable styles of the sea-
son. The frock coat worn by men
also serves. as a model from which
have been developed some extremely
good styles. In long coats one sees

men. Ideas, again, have been bor-
rowed from the dinner coat and the
evening coat. In waistcoats, revers,

the mannish idea is closely followed.
