Dog Lived Through Fire.

During the early hours of Thursday
morning, April 10, while the aames were.
licking up everything inhammable within
the walls of the Hotel st. Francisco, lit
tie fox terrier remained locked up in the
wine cellar Of the hotel, deserted and for
gotten BY the attaches of the hotel when
they were forced at midnight to aban-
don the doomed structure. When the
beautiful and costly building on Union
Square became blackened ruin and the
conhagration was fighting its way toward
the Western Addition the little fox terrier
still lived, unframed, though terror striek
en- from the tortures to which it must have
been subjected.
But with the dying out of the flames
that consumed everything within the four
walls Of the building, save the little fox
terrier, the dogs troubles were by no
means at an end james Hall, who had
charge of the wine cellar of the hotel, was
the owner of the little animal, and he re-
membered while the hotel was still a seeth
Ing furnace that the dog was locked in the
cellar.
Though pOwerless to rescue 1t, he lost
no time in getting back to the hotel after
the fire to discover the dog fate. But
he could not get near the wine cellar. For
DAYS afterward the ruins were so hot that
all thought of probing about in them was
out of the question Five days later Hall
succeeded in getting into the wine cellar,
aud one of the things to greet his startled
gaze was the little fox terrier erOuched be-
meath some machinery. The beat in the
wine cellar must have been intense, but
the little animal had managed to escape
the flames, and came out of the ordeal un
singed, although nearly dead from thirst
and hunger.
With tender care, Hall nursed the dog
back to health aud spirits, and not many
days after his rescue he was as cheerful
and lively as before the fire.

writes AIul in the Brooklyn Citizen.
About five feet ten inches in height,
broad of shoulder and chest. with
Steely gray eyes, luXuriant black and
gray squarely cut beard, small and
evenly matched teeth of dazzling white
ness, thin lips and 4 face clearly ill
dicative of Il fearless nature, Jerc Dunn
was the sort of man that people are
apt to turn about and look at but not
i'll manner calculated to give olfense.
Despite his faultleSs attire he looked
the type of man who suggests the old
time pirate chief and again the ideal
man killer of early. far western min
ing camps. barring the western killers
long hair. Yet this man, who had more
than once figured in bloody melecs, des-
perate encounters in the circles of
crooks and with his ever ready revolver
had sent more than one man to his
long home, was for the last ten or fiji
teen years, in speech and general de-
meanor, as gentle Il man slayer as ever
made work for Il coroner.
Jere was an inveterate gambler for
more years than most of the pres
ent generation of voters have known.
In the betting ring at tho race tracks,
in front of the faro table or the ror
lctte wheel, at the ringside when p:ize
fights were fought with bare knuckes
in defiance of law, and at later bloody
contests fought with the sanction OF
law, at cockfight or dog fight, Jcre
was always good loser" and quiet
winner, as the sporting fraternity put
it. One of Dunn's biographers says by
way of supplement to the dispatch
from San Francisco:
"In spite of his tempestuous life
Dunn always has expressed the firm
belief that death would find him with
his boots Off lying peaceably in his
bed and it now seems certain that he
will fulfill his own prophecy. Born in
New York, his early career is little
known, and though Il man of the same
name was convicted of several crimes
during the years Jere was young
man in these parts, he always said the
stories identifying him with the Grim
inal were the inventions of his enc
mics
Dunn served with EllSwOrth's regi.
ment, the First Zouaves, during the
war, and the first killing for which ht
was responsible took place in 1864,
when he shot negro in Pennsylvania.
A bank burglar named Logan was his
next victim, and eventually Dunn serv-
ed two years in Sing Sing for the Of
Tense. But the most noted of his fights
was that with Jimmy Elliott in the
Tivoli saloon, in Chicago, in 1883. The
duel lasted half an hour and ended in
the death of Elliott. Dunn was ac-
quilted at the trial"
Jere Dunn killed Logan years ago,

aui he in his anger said some 4artv
things about Jere. Then lie sporting
re 0rters ran to Jege 10 see what he
-ai 10 say, and under the circuu-
stances he felt it necessary TO de
nouucc Elliott.
One night Dunn, who had been in
formed that Elliott was fin Il sporting
resort kept by "Parsou" Davies. enter
ed that place with a 81 caIiber revolver
close to his hand in an outer coat
pocket. Elliott was uuarmcd. but
when he saw his adversary lie arose
from his seat. whereupon Jere pulled
his gun and began to fire at the uaarm-
ed pugilist Jimmy seized 4 chair and
might have felled Dunn before tie lat
ter could have fired Il fatal shot but
the chair hit 4 gas fixture and at that
moment Jimmy received his death
wound
1t is an old axiom among men Of the
DUnn-Elliott type that when Il man has
been killed in a brawl you can't bring
the dead back to life; save the living"
And so it was comparatively easy to
produce testimony that if Dunn had
not killed Elliott then Elliott would
have killed Dunn and that Jere shot
his man in self defense.
Dunn was acquitted. The body of the
slain pugiiist was removed 10 New
York. and within a block of the Bowery
1t was kept in state for two days. The
sporting men and top notch crooks of
Manhattan turned out in numbers at

to the grave, many on foot, up the Bow
cry, and others filling long line OF

Things which one would rather not

Of Mr.. Conroy. He had not been bred
to it,
For reasons which will presently be
made clear Mr.. Conroy called ut the
residence of Gilbert Hollender in the
early afternoon of Il June day. The
Hollendcr mansion is one of the sights
of the city, and yet its ornate exterior
gives scarcely a hint of the luxury
within. The reception room oppressed
Mr.. Conroy with a sense of the gross
inequalities of life, a subject upon
which he had often reflected seriously.
for he was thoughtful and grave man
and one whose professional training
guarded him against mere outward
SHOW ana vain pfeJellSe.
He had barely begun to familiarize
himself with his surroundings and had
not yet dared to sit down when a very
beautiful young lady entered the room.
You are Mr.. Conroy?' she asked.
Yes. ma'am," he replied.
She looked at him with a lively in
terest, as if he were Il thing quite new
in her experience.
You are the detective" said she.
You are going to Sunnyside with US
'Such is my instructions" answered
Conroy
The careful precision of his utterance
gave his grammatical error the effect
of deliberate jest, and Miss Hollen-
der could not conceal her amusement.
Instantly she took a great fancy to this
man, quite as she might have liked a
big dog for some unexpected and pom
derous caper.
My father has just telephoned that
he has been detained downtown" said
she, but we are not to wait for him.
So if you are ready
Conroy bowed low, with a solemn
sweep of the right hand, deliciously
awkward, and Miss Hollender was pos
itively delighted
There entered at this moment a wo-
man of middle age, comfortably plump
and the picture of gentle self satlsfac-
ton. Accompanying her was Il lean,
eager, pallid boy Of twelve These
were Miss HOllender's aunt and broth
er. Obviously the boy had known who
was in the reception room and had
5een impatient to see him. and it was
equally clear that Conroy fell far be
low Master Hollender's ideal of a de
tective.
They rode to the railroad station in
one of the HOllender automobiles. and
upon the way a fortunate chance help
ed Conroy to gain the boys favor, for
they passed a slender, STOPPING old
man with a long white beard. and the
detective pointed him out as one of
