A PAIR OF B"LOODHOUNDS
Owned by E. N. Booth-Animals for the
Purpose Of Running Down Camp
Robbers-Worth $3.50.

E. M. Booth was in the city
Tuesday with his two bloodhounds
Bess and Queen, which he pur-
chased from James Malone, special
agent of the B. q NJ. road at Lin
coin, Neb. The sluts are full sis
tiers, though one is a year older
than the other, and were sired by
the famous Rex, the bloodhound
that gave an exhibition of his
wonderful powers at the Worlds
Fair at st. Louis. On that c
sion the dog was turned loose on
a trail five hours old, which ran
through the exposition grounds.
amidst many thousands of people,
and he never failed or faltered for
a moment, but carried the trail
back to another hotel with uner-
ring certainty.
Bess and Queen cost $3.50, ana
Mr.. Booth says they are cheap at
that, as pure bred bloodhouuds
are very scarce at the present time.
They are tawny colored, like a
lion, with the exception of "a dark
ish streak reaching from the back
of the head, on the neck, to the
shoulders. They are very affec-
tionate and much attached to their
master. When trailing a man
they will not lay hold of him, but
simply keep him in charge until
released from duty. They are
good watch dogs and a man needs
to keep his distance or take the
consequences.

day of last week, while on his

Little is known at this time as
how the accident occurred, but is
probable that the injury was re-

on or off a train, as he had to
change cars at Sacramento for his
Marysville home.
He was at once taken to the
railroad hospital at that place and
his injury IA found to be a brok.

GOVERNMENT
HATCHERY
Capt. Rhode, Superinten-
dent of Hatchery, Be-
lieves in Change.
SHOULD COME TO SARATOGA
Water in the Spring Here Just the Right
Temperature and an Abundance
Of it-Would be Move in
Right Direction.

Capt. and Mrs. Rhode came in
from the Saratoga fish hatchery
yesterday, and visited friends in
town Capt. Rhode, when spoken
to concerning the Government
hatchery, expressed the nope that
we would be able to get the Gov
eminent inspectors to look the
graund over at the hatchery. He
said:
81 am sure if they can be in
duced to examine the spring at
the hatchery and note the flow OF
water aud its temperature, they
would not hesitate a moment.
"The temperature of the water
in the springs is Al degrees, winter
and SUMMER, and every fish hatch
cry man will tell you that is just
the right temperature for spawn
to thrive and do we'll in.
"The locality, too, is an ideal
one, We are near the North Platte
river, where all the Rainbow
spawn required can be had with
very little trouble. Then too, we
are within a short distance from
where native brook trout, tue
black kind. are to be had in aDun-
dance. There is an ample supply
of water for a hatchery of enor-
nous proportions, as large as one
can imagine that the Government
will ever want.
Il hope the citizens of Saratoga
will not leave a stone %unturned
toward getting the location of that
hatchery at this place, for the
money appropriated, $4,000, is
only the beginning of the work,
and we all know that the govern
ment never does anything by
halves. l have no doubt but the
state would gladly turn the pres
ent site over to the government,
for they would get as many fry as
now, free, or at little expense"
Capt. Rhode says he is getting
along very nicely with the work Of
Matching, the last batch of eggs
having just freed their young in
the past 40 hours. He is now
looking around for n supply OF
food for the youngsters.
